Hello, everyone! We are here, getting adjusted,slowly and surely. While we were on the plane, over

here, we heard some distressing news about twosuicide bombs that happened near two Churches,

near to where we are residing. However, because ofyour love and prayers, and the Grace of God, we aredoing fine. The Churches are doing fine, as well asthe School and our Sewing Center. Our Churches

have had normal Sundays, these past three weeks. Please pray for the security, safety and protectionfor the Pakistani Christian People. We are wanting

to raise the level of security for our Churches. Hopefully, by the Grace of God, we can achieve

this. Regarding the Twin Bombings, more details onthis incident are mentioned down below, in this

newsletter:

In this atrocious tragedy, 17 people were killed,and at least 70 were wounded, Sunday, March15th, 2015, in a twin suicide bomb attack, neartwo Churches, that were not far from us. OneChurch was St. John's Catholic Church, and theother was Christ Church, which is a Church ofEngland (also called Church of Pakistan). TheChurches shared a joint entrance, which waswhere the two bombers went.

One of the Church's Security Guards spotted oneof the bombers. He ran up to him, and sacrificedhis life, as the bomb blast went off, so that theother Church members, and his family, would besaved. The Catholic Church was takingcommunion, right about this time.

The Christians gathered around the Churchentrances. Angrily, they spotted the other twoterrorists, involved in the plot and burned themalive. This was to send a message to everyone,including the Government, to say that they aretired of being persecuted and being expected totolerate this. This has happened after some recent inhumaneevents, such as the murder of a Christian couple,in which they were burned alive and the wife waspregnant. (See our Newsletter on

(See ourNewsletter on that event: http://us6.campaign-archive1.com/?u=46fdea2cd646825d897038f76&id=f20aba021e ) In 2013,a Church, in Peshawar, was bombed, by twosuicide bombers, killing 70 and injuring more than120. (See our Newsletter on that event: http://us6.campaign-archive2.com/?u=46fdea2cd646825d897038f76&id=8242864b5b&e= ) Inaddition to this, a Christian woman, Asia Bibi, stillis prisoned and sentenced to death, over anargument between her neighbors, while they weredrawing water from a well.

This created a whole stir, around the city. Eventhe Police were afraid to go there. The Christians,furthermore, smashed property, vehicles, and aBus Station. According to BBC News, membersof the Christian community say that the riots are ashow of anger and frustration from a communitythat feels unprotected and abandoned by thegovernment. This event, soon, became all overthe news, which was when we arrived. TheGovernment sent security to police that wholearea, so that no more Muslims would come andattack any Christians. The area was under muchsurveillance, until things calmed down.

We talked to a couple of people who lived near thearea, and they said they were confined in theirhouse, for 8 days, and couldn't go anywhere. Some people, still, are afraid to come back totheir house.

Unfortunately, over 100 Christians have beenarrested for these actions, and now, Christians aresaying that they are sorry for retaliating, in theiranger.

Brothers and Sisters, we must remember ourfellow persecuted Christian Brethren, during theseperilous times.

according to BBC News, "I would like to tell theseterrorists if they think that they can push us backfrom our faith, they are deadly, entirely, very muchat fault."

Regardless, Christians are still living strong fortheir faith, worshipping the Lord. They know thatthis world is not the end (as what the Bible says,in Heb. 9:27, James 4:14, 1 Thess. 4:13-14 (thesebeing some of the verses)). We know that Heavenis our Eternal Reward.
