Pakistan

OM International

Around the OM world, finances and prayer are being raised to support the teams in their efforts, which will also include redevelopment work for about 200 houses in rural areas. OM staff have been working with national believers to provide help and assistance, especially in low-lying areas and villages, where the majority are very poor. Food and water supplies are more readily available for those living in higher ground areas, but access is limited to the lower regions, due to the collapse in roads.

The team has distributed 550 food packets to date; over the weekend, they brought food to 75 families in a very remote part of the country. The local people had not eaten for over two days and were grateful for the free food packages, as some local markets had already doubled their prices. The team printed stickers in the local language and put them on the packets that read: "From Pakistan Christian Brothers", and provided contact information for further help.

Please continue to pray for Pakistan and the long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts of the country. Pray for safety, endurance and encouragement for workers as they serve and minister in difficult areas. Pray that the love of God would be evident in their efforts.
