Pakistan (International Christian Concern) – A Christian driver was attacked by his Muslim extremist co-workers after he received a promotion in Pakistan. Noel is a father of four and has been working as a driver for the last five years. Because of his hard work, honesty, and punctuality, he was promoted to supervisor. However, his Muslim co-workers refused to work under a Christian supervisor. He didn’t take the threats seriously until it was too late.
When he left the workplace, about half a dozen Muslim coworkers stopped him on the road and they dragged him and thrashed him with clubs and iron rods. They left Noel unconscious on the road where he was found by Good Samaritans and sent him to the local hospital. The mob broke two ribs and two bones in his legs. His face was badly scratched as well.
The medical bills for his hospital stay began to stack up, as he required expensive treatment daily for his injuries. Hearing of the family’s financial distress, ICC came to his aid and paid the families medical bills.
“Earlier, I was sick of thinking how we would have any money left for my family, but you helped me in my difficult time and made it easier for me. Thank you and may God bless you,” said Noel.
HOW TO PRAY: Pray for healing for this believer following this attack. Pray for protection for him and his family. Pray for equal treatment of Christians in the workplace in Pakistan.
