Persecution

Asia Bibi, free from blasphemy charge, arrives in Canada - UPI.com
UPI reports: "Asia Bibi, a Pakistani Christian woman who spent eight years on death row over blasphemy charges, has moved to Canada, her attorney said Wednesday. Bibi's charge was overturned by Pakistan's highest court last year, but she remained in jail and was moved to various safe houses for fear of reprisals. The former farm worker was convicted in 2010 of speaking against Islamic Prophet Muhammad during an argument with Muslim women."

Comment: Please join me in offering a prayer of thanksgiving for the safe arrival of Asia Bibi in Canada.  What a long ordeal she has been through. It is encouraging to know that her journey has ended safely. Let's pray for those Christians who remain in Pakistan, that they will have patient endurance and steadfast faith.
