Our Church is pleased to support CBF Global Missions in moments like these where bearing witness to Jesus Christ takes place through an example of peace. "We recently heard of a Punjabi congregation just outside Paris. Punjab is an area of Pakistan that was divided between India and Pakistan during colonial times and is still an area of great violence between Pakistanis and Indians. We decided to visit the church. Pakistanis, Indians, and former Muslims embraced, smiled, laughed, and shared together. We have since taken several U.S. volunteer teams to visit the church, helped the pastor with continued theological studies, and the congregation has been instrumental in our Sports Days. Pray for Pastor Anjilo and his wife Loubna as they shepherd this unconventional flock. May it be an example of how we can all live in peace."
