Four people have been arrested on suspicion of vandalizing the home of a Presbyterian pastor in Stonsabad, Pakistan, about 370 kilometers south of Islamabad. According to a report by the Indian Catholic, the attack took place on the afternoon of April 4 while Pastor Saul Yousaf was away in Multan. The vandals took a Bible, a sound system, some furniture and other things outside of the building and set them on fire. The building, which also serves as a place of worship, was also damaged in the attack.
A few days earlier, a group of people also raided a church in the neighbouring village of Nathu Walli and tried to burn it down. The building and some of the furniture were damaged in the arson attempt.
Pray that the churches in Stonsabad and Nathu Walli will rest in the fact that God's Word stands firm, regardless of any attempts to silence it (Isaiah 40:8). Pray that they will be able to meet in safety.
