			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On September 23, 2009 a middle aged Christian lady came crying into the PMI-Pakistan office. When we questioned her, she sobbed and explained that she was a widow with seven young children to look after. She has been working in a Muslim home as a domestic servant and it had been a real struggle to feed her family on a day to day basis. Now her employer is accusing her of a large theft.&#160; She says it was a plot only to deny paying her wages. She was severely threatened that if she ever asked for her wages she would be tried for theft and put in prison.&#160; </p>
<p>PMI-Pakistan Pastor Yousif Nishan and others prayed with the lady and consoled her. They are doing everything within their means to help the lady by the grace of Almighty God. </p>
<p> <span id="more-1833"></span>
<p>Today, September 24th, 2009 a man arrived to Pastor Yousif Nishan’s home looking sad and worried, The Pastor welcomed him into their home and the man explained that he was an office employee having a family of eight. Recently he witnessed about Jesus Christ to his Muslim colleagues because of that some others threatened him, abused him by beating him and successfully got the man fired from his job. </p>
<p>PMI-Pakistan Pastor told GJCN that they are trying to get the man a job and help by any means possible. Pastor Yousif Nishan asked me for all Christians to pray for these people and to pray for PMI-Pakistan and Pastor Yousif Nishan and his congregation.&#160; </p>
<p>Many Christians in Pakistan are facing persecution Pastor Yousif Nishan has bravely by the Grace of God has been a shining light in the mist of what I would call one of the great Christian struggles of modern time. First let me explain the word persecution, the word itself means “a campaign to exterminate, drive away or subjugate a people because of their religion, race or beliefs”. This is exactly what is taking place in so many areas of the world today.&#160; This is exactly what is going on in Pakistan. </p>
<p>I can not begin to tell you about the horror these Christians are facing in Pakistan. To try and explain the amount of hate and cruel violence these Christians are facing, not some long time ago but in today’s world. Well, I’m at a loss of words. Honestly I can’t even pretend to understand what these Christians are going though. They have witnessed things many of us Americans have never seen. But with all that is going on in the world, that could even change. </p>
<p>I am working with Pastor Yousif Nishan to get pictures of his ministry and setting up PMI-Pakistan area on GJCN, we are also building a website for the PMI-Pakistan ministry. </p>
<p>I will soon be sending a care package to Pastor Yousif Nishan PMI-Pakistan with letters of love and books and if possible money. If you would like to donate to PMI-Pakistan please use the donate button on GJCN or if you’d like me to include a letter from you please email it to me and I will print it out and include it. The letter is far more important right now along with Christian books. </p>
<p><strong>The one thing the Pastor has asked of me the most</strong> is that they love knowing that at least other Christians <u>1. Know about them and the troubles they face</u> and 2. <u>You are praying for them.</u> Please show your support for these Christians if by nothing else write up a letter for me to include with the package I’m going to be shipping to them soon. These Christians need your love more than anything else right now. </p>
<p>You can email me at <a href="mailto:sysop@gjcn.org">sysop@gjcn.org</a> if you’d like to email the Pastor directly please email me and I will give you his email address. </p>
<p>Please bookmark GJCN.org as we will be updating regularly with news from PMI-Pakistan.&#160; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have come in contact with Pastor Yousif Nishan Masih who is the founder of Prayer Ministry International Pakistan. They are located in Islamabad/Rawalpindi area of Pakistan (<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=Islamabad%2FRawalpindi+Pakistan&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=45.467317,82.96875&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=33.909175,73.218384&amp;spn=1.497556,2.592773&amp;t=h&amp;z=9" target="_blank">see map</a>) and after my emails with him the situation in Pakistan is very grim. </p>
<p>Pastor Yousif Nishan has told me a few things that are taking place in Pakistan. Now I tell you this because I believe many Christians here in the states do not realize just how bad the rest of the world is becoming for Christians. I hope that this report is a wake up call to Christians who would like to help. </p>
<p> <span id="more-1814"></span>
<p>From his last email Pastor Yousif Nishan tells us in his own words that being a Christian in Pakistan is tough and depressing and getting worse by the day. He’s reporting that Churches are burned to the ground and that Pastors and lay servants of the Lord are beaten, put in jails and killed in jails. That the young and old alike live under constant threat of discriminatory laws. </p>
<p>Christians are shot to death on false and unjust accusations by the will of mobs. That no Christians have the feeling of safety and that the future for them looks very bleak. </p>
<p>At this point of reading Pastor Yousif Nishan I thought to myself would I have faith that strong to live in an area of the world with so much hate towards Christians. We are only starting to see it here in the USA.&#160; We Christians here in the states have very small issues compared to the kinds Pastor Yousif Nishan faces day to day. We are in a truly blessed nation and most spiritually mature Christians here in the states know why. Pastor Yousif Nishan has not asked for a single thing only that you pray for him, his flock and his ministry. But there is no way I’m about to stop there and I hope some of you will join GJCN is helping this small Christian ministry in Pakistan. </p>
<p>Pastor Yousif Nishan continues in his email with that he himself has faced many troubles. That he founded his independent church ministry to do nothing more than share the Gospel, love and Jesus Christ in a part of the world that badly needs it. </p>
<p>I have setup a dedicated area here on GJCN.org for Global Ministries, and then made an area for Prayer Ministry International Pakistan referred to as PMI Pak.</p>
<p>I have asked Pastor Yousif Nishan to send me detailed reports of what is going on over there and to share more information about his work and ministry. In this area of GJCN I will be reporting as he updates me the events taking place and personal updates.&#160; </p>
<p> Pastor Yousif Nishan told me in his own words…</p>
<p><strong>“Thanks for your kind concern. At times&#160; thoughts crossed my mind that there is so less love and concern left in this present world among brethren but your inquires proved me wrong. I thank you once more.I give thanks to The Lord Jesus for you.”</strong></p>
<p>All that I did was ask the Pastor what was going on and how life was. Well, I’m not about to stop there. I just witnessed Eric Hovind raise $380,000 to save the CSE ministry land so I know the Lord God is working in powerful ways that I don’t think the world has seen before. </p>
<p>So with that said, I am gathering many Christian leaning and teaching books from our Church to send to him, I’ve also thought about starting a fund to support this Pakistan ministry. Right now, I’m setting up a fund for for PMI-Pakistan, if you would like to donate to Pastor Yousif Nishan PMI-Pakistan please use the donate link on GJCN.org on the middle left of the website. In the PMI area of GJCN I will soon have a link to donate directly for the Ministry. </p>
<p>Please pray for Pastor Yousif Nishan and his Ministry, Prayer Ministry International Pakistan. </p>
<p>More updates coming very soon. Please feel free to email me <a href="mailto:sysop@gjcn.org">sysop@gjcn.org</a> if you’d like to have his email to send him your love, prayers and supporting emails. </p>
