Sehar, a 13-year-old Christian girl, worked at a local brick kiln together with 11 of her siblings to help support the family because their elderly father was ill and unable to work. According to her brother, Irfan, three men on motorcycles kidnapped Sehar from her home in Okaro at gunpoint on 23rd April 2023. One of the kidnappers was recognized as Allah Rakha, who also worked at the same brick kiln as Sehar.
Rakha was friends with Sehar’s brother, Adil, who was deceived into renouncing his Christian faith just three months before Sehar’s abduction. Sehar’s family is concerned that Rakha has similar plans for Sehar as there have been many reports of young Christian Pakistani girls being frequently kidnapped, and forcibly converted and married to their kidnappers.
Pray that Sehar’s whereabouts will soon be discovered and she will be returned to her family unharmed. Pray that those responsible for her abduction will be brought to justice.
Pray that the Lord will comfort both Sehar and her family members with His love and peace and He will continue to meet the daily needs of this family as they struggle with this added challenge.
