In addition to your normal prayer for Turkey join us for a 7 Day Advent Prayer Week on December 1-7. Links provided at the bottom of each day.
Karachi, the country’s largest city, is a populous multiethnic commercial and industrial hub. Pakistan has historically and culturally been associated with its neighbors Iran, Afghanistan, and India. Since gaining independence in 1947, Pakistan has struggled to attain political stability and sustained social development.
The country is estimated to be the home of 4 million orphaned children and as many as 3.5 million Afghan refugees. Jesus followers in Karachi are often severely persecuted, and since conversations between the Pakistani government and prominent terrorists groups dissolved in 2021, there has been a sharp increase of attacks on Jesus followers.
The time is now for the Bride of Christ to stand with the church in Pakistan, and to pray for the advancement of the gospel in every unreached tribe in Karachi. Some key people groups include but are not limited to the Southern Punjabi, the Southern Pashtun, the Bhil, the Eastern Baloch, and the Western Baloch.
Prayer Points
- Pray for the birthing of thousands of Christ-exalting, multiplying house churches in each of the 66 languages of this city, especially among the people groups listed above.
- Pray for protection, wisdom, and courage for the gospel SURGE teams
- Pray for a mighty movement of 24/7 prayer to sweep over the house churches.
- Pray for the Kingdom of God to advance through signs, wonders, and power.
- Pray for an Acts 19 movement to reach every unreached people and place in Karachi, Pakistan and the surrounding regions.
