Pray for Karachi
Pakistani cultures are classified as honor/shame cultures whereas most Western cultures are considered to be guilt/innocence cultures. This means that importance of how someone is perceived is often more important that what is truth. The Jewish culture that Jesus came into was actually an Eastern one. As such, a King in a manger, on a donkey, washing feet, all are pictures both counter cultural and perceived as weak. Some might even say humiliating.
Jesus' life and teaching are a shock to this kind of a society where one honors the great and lifts high those with money, status, or power. Jesus deserves all honor but lowers himself willingly. He does so to lift us up. His actions aren't of shame but rather of lowering Himself to our level. He is most honorable yet humble enough to call us friend. Pray for Muslims in Karachi to wrestle with this contrast of someone so great being willing to be so low that they would grasp the audacity of God to reveal Himself through Jesus.
Ask that God’s word would spread rapidly throughout Karachi, being honored wherever the word of God is shared. Pray that a sense of urgency would come upon believers, old and new alike, to share this gospel of the Kingdom with all. As the Samaritan woman in John 4 quickly shared with her village and introduced them to Jesus; Lord, may new people of peace spread your gospel message to new communities now, during this month, during Ramadan.
Jamshed Town: Jamshed Town is the most populated town in Karachi. Karachi's most popular market Tariq Road.
