A pastor and his family have gone into hiding after a Muslim neighbor who raped his 14-year-old daughter and tried to kidnap her, force her to convert to Islam and marry him. The daughter of Pastor Aslam Masih was on her way to school on Oct. 31 when Suleman Azhar tried to kidnap her. Pastor Masih and his wife were stunned when their daughter later revealed that Azhar had raped her in September. “She couldn’t bear the agony and trauma any longer and broke down into tears,” he said. She had kept quiet about the assault fearing Azhar would kill her and her family. Pastor Masih went to the police, but his pleas for justice fell on deaf ears. Frustrated and suspecting Azhar had influenced the police to take no action, he has sought court intervention. The police’s refusal to act against the accused has exacerbated the family’s ordeal, and they are forced to live in hiding away from their home.
Please pray…
Pray that the Lord will heal Pastor Masih’s daughter of the emotional trauma she has experienced.
Pray that the Lord will protect Pastor Masih and his family as they hide from Azhar and others who would try to harm them.
Pray that the court will force the police to arrest and indict Azhar and all those involved in the kidnapping and rape.
Pray that the hundreds of girls that have been kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam and marry their kidnappers will be able to flee and be restored to their families.
