Continue To Meet And Encourage “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” – Hebrews 10:25 On September 22, 2013, a pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the 130-year-old Anglican Church in Peshawar Pakistan after Sunday service, killing 78 people in the deadliest attack on Christians in the predominantly Muslim country. There was outrage from both the Muslim and Christian community throughout the country. Two weeks later, on October 6, between 200-300 Muslim Pakistanis peacefully gathered in support of the victims of the attack around St. Anthonys Church in Lahore while the mass was held inside the church. After the mass, Father Nasir Gulfam joined the friendly gathering. Pakistani Muslims and Christians held hands to form a human chain to show solidarity and they prayed for the victims. Father Nasir spoke out during the gathering saying, The terrorists showed us what they do on Sundays. Here we are showing them what we do on Sundays. We unite. Do not let anything separate you from the love of Christ. Today in prayer, pray for persecuted Christians that they may be encouraged in Christ. “When the world asks, ‘What is God like?’ we should be able to say, ‘Look at the church.’ As the body of Christ, we are to be like Jesus so that we too reveal God to the world.” – William R.L. Haley God’s Word: “They devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” – Acts 2:42
