PAKISTAN MISSIONS
Pakistan, or "Land of the Pure," is an Islamic country in South Asia, bordered by Afghanistan, Iran, China, and India.
Over the years, Pakistan has been subjected to numerous invasions by Persians, Greeks, Turks, Afghans, Mongols, Sikhs, and the British. Pakistan finally obtained independence from India and became an Islamic nation in 1956.
Wikipedia describes Pakistan as a country "characterized by periods of military rule and political instability." This was evidenced in the assassination of Pakistan's former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in 2008 and the continued fighting between Taliban terrorists and government military forces, backed by the United States.
Pakistan has a population of over 170 million people that speak any of 60 different languages, although English and Urdu are listed as the official languages of the country.
Most Pakistanis are Muslims, of which 70% are Sunni and 30% are Shi'a. Hindu is the next largest religious group, numbering approximately 3,200,000. Christians are third with 2,800,000. The rest of Pakistanis are Buddhists, Baha'is, Jews, Animists, and other religious groups.
Although officially a Muslim country, many in Pakistan are hungry to hear the gospel. Southwest Radio Ministries provides funds for Bibles to Victor Sammuel who is leading a church mission in this dangerous country. Dr. Spargimino preaches twice a week to Victor's congregation by telephone on Bible doctrine and end-times Bible prophecy from Revelation. One meeting in April drew 400 people.
Southwest Radio Ministries also provides funds for food and medical treatment. Recently, 30 heads of Christian families lost their jobs. Southwest Radio Ministries sent enough money for flour to feed these 30 families for two months. We also provided funds for private medical treatment for a man who was shot four times and couldn't go to the hospital because he was a Christian.
