“praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints” – Ephesians 6:18

Pakistan—Son of Blasphemy Law Opponent Kidnapped
Los Angeles Times
The 28-year-old son of murdered Punjab governor Salman Taseer was kidnapped Aug. 26. Authorities have no
suspects, and no ransom demands had been made by Shahbaz Taseer’s kidnappers. Governor Taseer was assassinated in retaliation for his opposition to Pakistan’s blasphemy law, which was used to convict Christian Asia Bibi of blasphemy against Islam. Bibi was sentenced to death for this crime. Taseer had called for Asia’s release before his death at the hands of his personal bodyguard, who said he acted in defense of Islam. This month, The Voice of the Martyrs intends to present UN and Pakistani officials with a petition signed by thousands of VOM readers calling for Asia’s release. Pray that God will use the “Call for Mercy” petition to help release Asia from jail and amend the blasphemy laws which are so often used against Christians in Pakistan.”

“He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, and to love kindness and mercy, and walk humbly with your God?”
