Prayer Points for Salamati
Please pray for the head teacher at Al Huda Pre-cadet school and the teachers at this school as they stand firm and provide Christian education in a majority Muslim area.

Pray for the families we are currently supporting with food.
Pray that the donated items of clothing etc that are to be sent to Pakistan this summer will be delivered safely and distributed wisely to those in need.
Thank God for the generosity of those people who have supported us financially and with donations, that God will continue to bless them.
Pray for our next project, a free clinic at Kot Radha Kishan. We will face opposition from the influential Muslims families, as they would not want to see help being provided for these poor families. Please pray that there will be softening of hearts.
