The Amazing Rescue of a Pakistani Teenager
Brought to you by The Voice of the Martyrs
Christians in Pakistan continue to be persecuted for their faith. Many have been forced to work in brick kilns practically serving as slave labor. The following story of Azra Bibi a young Christian girl in Pakistan is both tragic and inspiring.
Azra was forced to work in the brick kilns at the tender age of 7. She had to help her mother just so the family could eat. They also faced the danger of being the only Christians in a Muslim community. But their faith held strong.
One tragic day a Muslim woman began the verbal attacks. Before long others women joined in and Azra’s mom was badly beaten. They were both taken to the brick kiln owner where Azra’s mom was murdered in the most horrific way. Young Azra was devastated.
The brick kiln owner had plans to force Azra to convert to Islam with the intention of marrying her off. But God had other plans. With the help of a courageous local pastor and support from Christians in the US, Azra was miraculously rescued with her debts paid. Plans are now underway to provide training and a small house for this courageous young Christian girl who stood firm in her faith through such difficult trials.
You can learn about and help persecuted Christians like Azra. We cannot let them suffer in silence.

Unfortunately it sounds as if she is still living in Pakistan. How long before she suffers the same fate as her mother?
I've been paying attention to events in Thailand.
Buddhist monks have been fleeing southern Thailand as Islamic fundamentalism takes hold. It won't be long before Thailand resembles Indonesian. Islam is incompatible with any other belief system. I couldn't imagine trying to live in Pakistan as Azra Bibi still does.
