In February, 2 Christian friends, Haroon and Salamat, were arrested for reading the Bible out loud at a public park in Lahore, Pakistan, and then offering a Christian book to a Pakistani man. Haroon and his family managed to escape but Salamat was arrested. Read more about this case here : https://gosheninternational.org/remember-salamat-mansha-and-haroon-ayub-in-your-prayers/.
During the 2 months of imprisonment, Salamat says he was tortured mentally and physically and he faced repeated death threats. And as a result of the severity of the torture, he succumbed to the coercion and confessed to the false charges and allegations against him. He was subsequently pressured to disclose the names of the other Christians in his Bible study circle and the whereabouts of his friend, Haroon.
Pray that the Lord fortify Salamat’s spirit and enable him to endure the suffering and challenges he is now facing. Pray that his lawyers will successfully secure bail for Salamat and he will be released and reunited with his family soon. Pray that all charges against him and Haroon will be dropped.
Pray for protection and safety for Haroon and his family. Pray that God will cover them with His feathers and shelter them with His wings, and His faithful promises will be their armour and protection (Psalm 91:4).
Pray that both Christian man and their families will experience a deeper relationship with our Lord Jesus as they lean on Him for strength and support.
