Pray for Christian Prisoner Imran Ghafur and His Family
Imran
Ghafur’s family requests prayer for his release and for the needs of
the family. He is currently serving a life sentence on a conviction of
burning a Quran. Imran’s brother Naveed told VOM contacts that the
entire family was able to visit him before Easter and that Imran
continues to read his Bible, fast and pray. His attorney has filed an
appeal with the Pakistan High Court, but no hearing date has been set.
VOM has regular contact with Imran’s family, offering prayer and
encouragement.

Pray for Christians in Damascus Living in a Battle Zone
Intense
fighting between Islamic State militants and government forces erupted
on Monday, May 4, in Damascus, and media outlets warned Christians
living in the area to evacuate immediately. Government forces are
employing air assaults and armored tanks to fight the militants, making
it extremely dangerous for those living in the immediate area. Last
month, it was reported that IS had moved into a part of Damascus that is
less than a mile from several Christian neighborhoods. A VOM contact
whose family lives in the area requests prayer for believers there.
“They can’t go anywhere at this point,” he said. “Pray for the safety of
our family and churches all over Damascus and Syria.”
