Church leader operating in Middle East, receives death threats, asks for prayer
By Mark Ellis, Senior Correspondent for ASSIST News Service
SOUTH ASIA/MIDDLE EAST (ANS -- October 21, 2016)
-- Pastor Paul and his team are courageously spreading the Gospel in
restricted countries in South Asia and the Middle East. A very pointed,
dire death threat he received recently caused him to reach out and
request prayer from believers around the world.
This is the text of the death threat he received October 15th. It read:
“Hey
Paul, son of Kafir, You are not Pastor Paul. You are b....... Paul. You
betrayed your mother, Deenul Islam. We know where you are and what you
are doing. We will not allow you to go further at any cost.
“You
are attracting and misguiding innocent people to the hell by magics and
vulgar tricks to the hated and cursed christian religion. You are not
worthy to live any more. Time is up to throw your meat for pigs and
dogs.
“Your
days are counted. Your head and body will be hanging in your gate face
to face within no time. Your family and children are not excused. The
world will see and laugh at the end of a cursed man and his family.
“No
doubt we will kill everybody who followed your hated religion unless
they turn back to Islam. You are going to see the sea of blood of your
people this week before your execution. Mind it.”
Pastor
Paul remains unbowed by the malicious warning. “I don’t mind if
anything happen to me,” he says. “For me to live is Christ and to die is
gain.”(Phil. 1:21)
