Amidst the trials and unending problems for Christians living in Pakistan, certainly no words or actions that can pacify or comfort them. Under constant threats and the fear that something might happen which will shatter their lives in the form of persecution, attack or blasphemy law, God's hand is more powerful to strengthen the Christians of Pakistan in their faith.
