The God – Honoring Life is one that cares for the poor, the outcast, and the Persecuted.

In the last three months, doors have opened for Chosen to Speak in  regions of the world where Christians are marginalized, oppressed, and imprisoned for their faith.

Only 2% of Pakistan’s 252 million people are Christians.  Pakistani pastor Khaan recently recounted the story of families facing harsh persecution by the locals in their corner of Pakistan.

“The local opposition burnt down the homes of 40 families,” reports Khaan.

Nevertheless, Khaan is excited about training locals leaders as a CTS coach, and he plans to translate the training into Urdu.

            Pray for leaders in Pakistan to stand strong in their faith and to have boldness to share their faith.

In addition, Chosen to Speak is strengthening the vision of leadership in Bangladesh.

“The Lord has blessed us the last few years with the opportunity to establish a new network in Bangladesh,” attests Dave Arden. “The political instability in Bangladesh right now is an opportunity to strengthen our work there.”

Joram, our International Director there, has a huge heart of compassion for the people.

Bangladesh, like Pakistan, is a Muslim nation where Christians hold only a sliver of the vast 174 million people.

Pray for leaders in these two countries to raise up a new generation of leaders to impact the nation.
