Late last night on my cell phone I received the following text message from a courageous Christian brother inside Pakistan. This brother is doing his best with our help to bring some measure of comfort and encouragement to his fellow Christians who are being terribly persecuted in that country.
"Shalom, Bravo to US navy seals, May God bless us all, and America. Remember victory belongs to the people of God, that is us Christians, eventually. Do thank God in prayer for this victory. 'Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O mighty One, in Your glory and Your majesty!' Psalm 45:3"
This morning I received an email from this same brother with a second message:
"On behalf of Pakistani Christians, myself and my family, I extend my heartiest congratulations to you and all the American brethren over the death of Osama bin Laden the killer thousands of Christian brothers and sisters. Justice is served eventually.
Please understand that the religion of ISLAM is a source of deadly hatred, destruction, and pain, and this religion is inspired by Satan who was a murderer from the beginning.
Islam is an effective force of SATAN against Christians and the Jewish people.
Let me share with you all that whenever Muslims want to vandalize, beat, and massacre innocent people they always do so after their FRIDAY PRAYER when they come out of their Mosques. After their prayers, they unleash violence, killings and mayhem.
May God open the eyes of secular Americans about ISLAM which at its heart is the product of a satanic imagination. Islam should be viewed as a plague for humanity.
Please remember to pray for we Christians here in Pakistan. We are in constant danger.
'Thou, O Lord art kind and forgiving, full of true love for all who cry to thee.' Psalm 45:3; 86:5"
Please help us to stand with our brethren inside the Islamic nations, especially Pakistan at this time. They will surely be targeted following the death of Osama Ben Laden. Christians in Pakistan are the poorest of the poor, and have no way to escape.
Please take 5 minutes to view the following video describing the conditions that Christians are facing every day in Pakistan.
If you are able to help, please designate your gift "for Pakistan Messenger."
Gratefully your servant in Jesus Christ, Court Wood

"Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." Psalm 82:3-4
"Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, 'But we knew nothing about this,' does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?" Proverbs 24:11-12

"Gird your sword upon your side, O mighty one; clothe yourself with splendor and majesty. In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds. Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet. Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy." Psalm 45:3-7
