When can a car accident lead to something good? Ask Pastor Boimakhmad in Tajikistan. He and two of his daughters were struck when a car plowed into their parked vehicle, just as they were getting out. The pastor, his two daughters, and the children still in the vehicle, were all injured. And, they would appreciate your prayers as some of them face a long recovery. In response to this accident, many of the pastor’s neighbors responded with anger, and expected the pastor to do the same. But, the pastor surprised them. He prayed for the driver who hit them. Most of the pastor’s neighbors do not understand how this is possible. Pray that they will come to know the love of the God who does the impossible every day.

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Mardan City, Pakistan, is no stranger to the violence and hostility mobs can unleash. But, on September 21st, the church and many surrounding homes and buildings were burned. Many are thanking God that no one was injured, but they need our prayers. Many have lost all their belongings. The church has lost a great deal of materials such as Bibles and DVDs, and the congregation has once again endured the hatred of others. Pray for their comfort, encouragement, and the courage and supplies needed to rebuild.
