Floods in four Province of Pakistan

Dear Brothers and Sisters we have a another prayer request for you

We trust that you are keeping well by His grace & mercies. I know many of you have a great burden in your heart for Nation of Pakistan and especially poor Christian Community facing flood problems. Our prayers are that our Heavenly Father is blessing you with richest mercies and great joy in your precious walk with Him daily. May Jesus be your constant guide, comfort and help as you journey along life's pathway.
The Flood in four Province of Pakistan?????

We will share with you urgent prayer request for Pakistani Christian Community is facing flooding problems, many challenge. At least 3 Millions people are disturbed & affect, victim so far issued new flood warnings, as heavy rains are expected to inflict more misery on areas where at least 1,500 people have already been killed and 980,000 more have lost their homes were damaged and a key trade highway to China was blocked by the flooding. The entire infrastructure we built in the last 50 years has been destroyed.

Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority, estimated that roughly three million people were now affected by floods in the country - 1.5 million in the northwest and the same number in Punjab. The rush of water spilling from rivers in Punjab has threatened to destroy vast areas of crops, prompting the United Nations to warn that an estimated 1.8 million people might need food aid in the coming weeks.

People sought refuge on rooftops and tried to bring their livestock up as far as possible. In the northwest, rising water levels at Warsak Dam, the country's third biggest, prompted disaster officials to ask residents in the northern outskirts of Peshawar city to leave their homes. Families are stranded and desperate for food. There are 40,000 children in the region, many of whom are already going hungry. When aid does get to them the atmosphere can be very tense.

Many residents who lost their homes and livelihood also complained that they had not received any advance warning that raging waters were heading their way. The military said more than 54,000 people had been rescued from flood-hit areas and moved to safer places, with 40 helicopters and 450 army boats mobilized as part of the rescue effort.

Many thousands of people have lost their lives; many more are stranded and exposed to disease and extreme lack of food. Thousands have been displaced. Other impacts include the loss of livestock and damage to agricultural crops and fields. It is estimated that more than a million people have been affected thus far; the total estimated damages and affected population are yet to be determined due to inaccessibility caused by rising flood waters and disruption to communication networks. Immediate needs include food, water, tents and other non-food items.

The Swat valley, which has yet to recover from a major Pakistani army offensive against Taliban fighters just over a year ago, is one of the areas worst affected by the floods. Large parts of the valley's upper regions, reached by a riverside road, are inaccessible. Scores of bridges, roads and building have been washed away by the torrents. Swat, in northwestern Pakistan, was hit the hardest by the floods which submerged extensive areas, brought down bridges and swept away entire villages.

I know that your prayers can change nations. Pray also for the all saints, religious & political worldwide leaders (1-Tim 2:1-3) that they might repent of their hardness of heart and come to salvation through Christ. Please help with your prayers that we can win "All worldwide religious & political worldwide leaders" as well as that other country for Jesus Christ. May God blesses you all who pray for us. I hope every Christians in our countries have freedom very soonest & growing rapidly in Christ. Thank you so very much. Jesus blesses you all. May God grant you a great harvest as you plant and waer for Him! Your Servants in Christ!
