Praying for Sagar’s family ⒸRelease
International
Please pray for a heartbroken Christian family in Lahore who are mourning
the loss of their son.
The 17-year-old, called Sagar Masih, was killed in the suicide bomb
attack in a Lahore park on Easter Sunday.
Our partner and a member of Release staff were able to visit the family
this week and provide pastoral care and prayer support.
The family said that after the explosion they had gone to the park to
find Sagar and other family members but he wasn’t there. Eventually they found
his body at a hospital.
The father ‘had no more tears’ as he and the rest of the family had been
weeping for days. Sagar’s mother said she felt that at any time Sagar would
return home but then added: ‘My son is no more.’
- Please pray for Sagar’s family and for all who have been bereaved by the Easter bomb attack. Pray too for the injured and traumatised, that all would know God’s healing touch.
- Pray for Sagar’s cousin Chand, who is in a serious condition in hospital, and for other injured family members.
- Pray for our partners as they visit the bereaved and injured: that they will be able to minister God’s love and peace.
- Pray for protection for Pakistan’s Christian mission.
