According to VOMC sources, the homes of three Christian families were recently demolished by local Muslims in the village of Lobhana near Lahore, Pakistan. According to the Christian villagers, the land where several homes were located had been given to them by the Pakistani government more than ten years ago. However, some local Muslims laid claim to the land, intending to build a cemetery.
On October 19, more than seventy armed villagers moved in with tractors and began destroying the homes. They demolished and looted three homes and were stopped only when the police arrived. Some of the Christians reported that the attackers threatened to kill them.
Pray for those who have lost their homes and possessions because of their faith in Christ. Pray that the attackers will come to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord. Pray that those threatened will find peace in the presence of the Lord (Phil 4:4-7)
