Christian Compassion in Islamabad

Once again, St. Thomas Church in Islamabad was the center for distribution of food packages to families in need. The recipients had been pre-selected by Manzoor Masih and Rashid Manzoor (shown on the left below) and, in all, 52 families were served.

As the sign below shows, it was made clear that all the food was donated by and distributed by Christians, and local pastors prayed with the Reach the Nations team as they ministered in this very tangible way to people experiencing hunger due to COVID-19 work loss.

Everyone entering the area around the church was required by local law-enforcement to walk through this disinfecting tunnel. Face masks were provided as well to prevent the spread of disease.

A few more photos below will tell more of the story of this food distribution:

Please continue to pray for these efforts to alleviate pain and suffering during this difficult time in Pakistan so that all will be done to the glory of God, needs will be met, and many will come to realize the tender care the Father has for His children.

"Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is His faithfulness." - Lamentations 3:22-23
