Flooding in Pakistan

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”                                                                                                                                                                            __Ps. 34:18

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We want to take a moment to share with you the current situation in Pakistan. Over the past weeks, severe flooding has struck much of our country, leaving countless families devastated. Entire villages have been submerged, roads have been washed away, and homes have collapsed under the force of the water. The scale of destruction has been overwhelming, and the suffering of the people is immense.

 

By the grace of God, our area has been spared from the worst of the flooding, and we are safe. We are deeply grateful for His protection and mercy in keeping us from harm. Yet, our hearts are heavy as we look at the suffering all around us. While we are safe, so many of our fellow Pakistanis are in urgent need of help. Families have lost their homes, their belongings, and in some cases, even their loved ones.

The greatest needs right now are very practical. People are struggling to find food, clean water, and shelter. Many are living in temporary camps, exposed to the elements, and diseases are beginning to spread due to stagnant water and poor sanitation. Children are particularly vulnerable in these circumstances, and parents are desperate to provide for them. The needs are vast and urgent—food, housing, clothing, and medicine are all in short supply.

In the face of such devastation, we are reminded that as followers of Christ, we are called to be His hands and feet in times of need. The local church is already mobilizing to respond, and ministries are seeking ways to provide relief. It is a challenging task, but it is also a powerful opportunity to show the love of Jesus in practical and tangible ways to those who are hurting and without hope.

We humbly ask for your prayers—for those who are suffering, that they would find comfort and hope in the Lord. Please also pray for wisdom and strength for those who are serving on the frontlines of relief efforts. And if God puts it on your heart, we encourage you to consider supporting the relief work being done here. Every gift, no matter the size, can help provide food, shelter, and care for those who are in desperate need.

We trust in the faithfulness of our God, who promises never to leave nor forsake His people. Even in the midst of disaster, we believe He is at work—bringing His comfort, drawing hearts to Himself, and glorifying His name. Thank you for standing with us in prayer and in support. Together, we can be a light in this time of great darkness.

We pray for you and your families, please keep us in your prayers. God bless you. 

in Christ Jesus
