Giving Jesus to Pakistan for Christmas

A Christmas message of hope.

“Sister, Karen. I want to tell you that three women knock on my door. They say to me, ‘Asher, sorry to disturb you, sorry we wait all night to talk to you.'”

You see, with excitement, I’d accepted the opportunity to share a Christmas message and the good news of the gospel. I jumped at the chance to talk about my Lord.

Still, this wasn’t my usual speaker gig. But a Skype Conference to a group of women in Pakistan.

Wow! How cool is that? The ability, through technology, to go to the other side of the world…to go into all the world (Mark 16:15).

My Facebook friend, Asher, ministers in several cities and villages of Pakistan. He carries a heavy heart for the women and children, especially orphans and widows.

The rural areas are poor. The majority do not speak English. And the most astonishing spiritual fact? Pakistan’s only 3-4 % Christianity with the rest of the country steeped in Muslim beliefs. Even among the believers, few have Bibles.

Recently, the Lord stirred a word in my spirit. A timely message for me and for the women of Pakistan.

Below is the message Asher translated as I spoke. He asked that I speak in short, simple sentences and phrases. Friends and family prayed for our time. The Lord heard the cries of His people as we did not experience any technology glitches. But the Spirit moved in powerful ways.
