Greetings!

Thanks for your prayers. Things are very bad here after the heavy rains and floods. All most all of our congregations in the villages have lost everything, they are under the open sky and still waiting for the rescue and help from the government.

Please pray for the nation of Pakistan.

Please do what you can do for our people in this times of trials.

Looking forward to hear soon!
