Greetings from
Pakistan Bible Correspondence Institute, National Office,
Faisalabad.
We are passing this
sad news with tears and heavy heart that on 22nd September two
suicide attackers blew themselves up outside All Saints Church Peshawar.
Peshawar is the capital city of the northern province of Pakistan, Khyber
Pakhtoon Khaw. This incident took place when people were greetings each other
after the Sunday Service, in Church Lawn.
Our Peshawer Center’s
staff told us that more than 150 people have left this world to be with the Lord
while about 100 people are injured lying in hospital.
The explosion left the
shreds of human flesh and bloodstains on the walls and floor of the church,
whose windows had been ripped out by the blast.
Pages of a Bible were
scattered near the altar and rice meals mingled with dust on the floor amid
shattered benches. Walls were gouged with ball bearings used in the
explosives.
Grieving relatives
blocked the main Grand Trunk Road highway with bodies of the victims to protest
against the killings.
Further, Christians in
Karachi, Lahore, Multan and other cities also are staging protest rallies to
condemn the attacks and demand state protection for their lives and properties.
Christian Schools and other institutions all over the Pakistan have announced to
be closed for three days for observing the mourning over this sad
incident.

Further please keep all of us
Pakistani in your prayers. God bless you.
Yours’ in Him,
