“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.’” (Mark 10:27)ﾠ

Dear Friends,

A Christian father, Younis Masih, in Pakistan is in a legal battle with kidnappers for the custody of his pre-teen daughters, who allegedly have been forced to convert to Islam.

Saba Younis, 13, and Aneela Younis, 10, went missing on June 26 in the small town of Chowk Munda. The kidnappers filed for custody of the girls at the local police house on June 28, stating that the sisters had converted to Islam and their father no longer had jurisdiction over them.

On July 29 Judge Saghir Ahmed ordered Aneela and Saba, to be temporarily placed in a government-run women’s shelter under Muslim caretakers.ﾠ

They were forbiddenﾠto see their parents until an August 4th (today) court hearing, when they will again testify that they have converted to Islam.

“Muslim clerics have threatened the judge that if he allows the girls to go with the Christians, they will kill him,”

The young girls appear to be persuaded by their captors that they are to marry men from the Islamic Faith.

Please Pray:

Pray little Saba and Aneela will be released by the judge back into the custody of theirﾠChristian Family.

Pray that the minds of these young girls may be kept safe from indoctrination.

Pray against the rise of incidents of kidnapping of young girls for ransom or to covert to the Islamic Faith for marriage.

I pray that you (insert name) might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you might walk (live) worthy of the Lord and be pleasing to Him; being fruitful in every good work, and increase in the knowledge of God.

I pray that you will be strengthened with all His might, according to His Glorious Power; resulting in patience, long-suffering with joyfulness; and that you keep giving thanks to the Father who has made us fit to be partakers, sharing in the inheritance of the saints in light; foir the Father has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son; in whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of our sins.

I pray you continue in the faith; so grounded and settled so you won’t be moved away from the hope of the Gospel which you have heard, and which was preached to every creature under heaven; I pray God will make known to you, what is the riches of the Glory of this mystery among the gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of Glory.
