Most of Pakistan’s Christian community is desperately poor, living at the bottom rung of society. They earn a living through daily labor jobs. The national lockdown cut them off from the income that kept them just above starvation.
For Pakistan’s Christian community, the COVID-19 pandemic presented a new low in persecution and discrimination. In the Sandha Kalan village, more than 100 Christian families were excluded from the distribution of food aid.
The aid, mostly made up of food staples, was reportedly designed to be distributed among all the deserving families of the village. However, when the aid was distributed, the local mosque cleric did not allow a single Christian family to receive aid.
Fortunately, this is not where the story ended. ICC provided a lifeline to many Christians across Pakistan by providing direct food aid to persecuted Christians, including those who were denied aid, Christian sanitation workers, and other vulnerable sections of Pakistan’s Christian community.
"This food aid means a lot for us," a recipient named Rachel told ICC. "It is providing life to my family. Before receiving this aid, I had almost started begging for help. Therefore, I really appreciate this food assistance." Read more: bit.ly/3fhCsC5

Opposition worldwide! It confirms the Messianic prophecy that people will us for His Name's sake (Jn.15:18-21). We thank God His word is being fulfilled. Yet we pray for India and other nations in Asia that they fulfill age old prophecies by accepting the Gospel of Jesus (Dan.2:44; Is.2:2-4; Mal.1:11; Ps.22:27

It is unfortunate, yet examining the story in the eyes of the scriptures our hope is the Christian faith is unquenchable! Despite the tough oppositions Christianity will remain buoyant til the end of age – Mal.1:11; Is.2:2-4.
We pray that the LORD will protect and conserve the Christian faith in Turkey. Turkey is becoming 'Smyrna'. It is our prayer that Turkey becomes Philadelphia. May the brethren there be strong in the faith and may the Christian faith rise again on the land of Turkey.
Prayers against any decisions to make church into a mosque in Jesus name
If its a museum it has lost it's place as a place worship to Yahweh
And yet they are supposed to be a secular state…
Lord Jesus have mercy on us. 🙏🏰
This is the problem of terrorist became the head of the country..we don’t expect anything else from an isis guy.
Hagia Sophia must be return to Christian in Turkey
That is a Church and always will be a Church in the eyes of the world. Hands-off Turkey.!!!
Not happy. Some days ago was said it will be back to cathedral and shown Greek cross and flags but now the …..
And Turkey is member of NATO
Sad news…
No suprise from a racist country, they love the ottoman empire, the mudering, rapist, paedophile empire. They're all in hell now.
I absoluely agree! If a almost civil war could start over a tree in Istambul, then a church in to a mosque could too!
Why United States and England are interfering? Most Christians in their countries don't go to Church anymore. Many Churches are converted to Malls and Luxurious Hotels. Pray for your country and beg for Jesus'mercy. Then only you can help Christians suffering allover the world. Moreover, may the presence of Jesus in that Church converted to mosque convert them to Christianity. ( Do not bother to reply because I am not going to read your comments.)

What a shame
#BoycottTurkey – This move confirms that they’re nolonger secular, they’re the same as the evil Ottoman Empire !
Turkey’s also selling arms to islamists in africa who’re slaughtering christians in a regular basis !
CALL / WRITE to your local / state representatives to push the gov to stop this madness of selling weapons to Turkey!!

Why not? If nobody wants to go to church, let the people who want to use it use it.
Don’t get mad if Christians aren’t doing their part
How could they?
Turkey are genicadel killers being ignored by the world
All this is happening because “ they are scared “ of Us now
And about people saying mere building etc
You live your way of Christian life and let us Catholics live our way of Christian life, ultimately we are gonna meet at same place
#BoycottTurkey Tourism is a major portion of their revenue.
We are the church and the temple of God, a building is what it is: a building.
May the presence of Jesus Christ convert them to Christianity.
