Your Prayers and Giving Are Their Lifeline

A young man named Marcus is one of many Christ-followers martyred for their faith in Pakistan in recent months.

Gatestone Institute reports:

“A 21-year-old Christian farmworker in Pakistan’s Punjab Province, Marcus Masih, was tortured to death by his Muslim employers, who then tried to stage the murder scene as a suicide by hanging, the victim’s brother said.”

What a tragedy! And yet this kind of violence happens so often there.

A report from the group Voice of Pakistan Minority says:

“The year 2025 was marked by a deepening crisis for religious minorities in Pakistan, characterized by entrenched legal discrimination, rising mob violence, and a climate of near-total impunity for perpetrators.”

Bottom line: Pakistan can be deadly for Christ-followers. It’s no wonder the country ranks No. 8 on the Open Doors World Watch List.
