Pakistani Christian murdered over an Argument


During my recent trip to Pakistan, I interviewed a Pakistani Christian woman who I will call "Susan" to protect her identity.  In Dec. of 2016, "Susan" had become a widow and has been forced to raise her four children on her own.  Like many children of the world, they have great dreams and ambition.  Once wishes to become a doctor, another wants to serve his country in the military, and a third desires to become a human rights lawyer, but because of a harmless argument, they will have to pursue these dreams without their father by their side.  


"Susan's" husband worked as a cleaner in a factory.  He had friends who were both Muslim and Christian, but when a dispute over their respective faiths began at work, that friendship came to a sudden and violent end.  The "friends" of "Susan's" husband suddenly began to savagely beat him and told him to leave the factory.  He complied to their demands, but as he was leaving, his boss ran him over with his car and killed him.  That night, "Susan" heard a knock on her door.  When she opened it, she saw the dead body of her husband with his boss standing there.  He told "Susan" that if they did not leave, he would kill them too.  In one day, "Susan" lost her husband, her home, and was forced to flee her village.  Right now, "Susan" is forced to clean houses in order to support her children, and the only assistance she has received is from the Pakistani Christian Community.  No outside organization has offered her any kind of assistance.  "Susan's" children still mourn the loss of their beloved father, but they know that Jesus is with them.  Like many people, they have hope for the future, but they don't know how it will ever be possible to bring about a lasting change that will end their societal oppression.
