My encounter with Pakistani Christians seeking asylum in Bangkok (Jason)

A few weeks ago we spent two weeks in Bangkok for OMF training for ministry in Thailand. During our stay we went to an international church and met a very friendly family from Pakistan who spoke English fluently. They are one of thousands of Pakistani Christian families fleeing persecution and seeking asylum in Bangkok. There are many issues, which I don’t have room to explain, but if you are interested you can find info on the web. Please pray the churches in Bangkok will come to a unified decision on how to help our persecuted Pakistani brothers and sisters. I also encourage you to pray for the many ethnic groups who take refuge in America, may the church learn to comfort them and befriend them, because sometimes sojourner need a friend, not just someone who can help them. “The Lord loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. Love the sojourner; therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt” (Deut. 10:18, 19).
