Prayer chain for the Christians in Pakistan
After one more case of Islamic fundamentalism and prejudice against Christians, Fundação AIS has started a prayer chain in November 2010 for the Christians in Pakistan who suffer because of the blasphemy
law, specially for the release of Asia Bibi. This Pakistani woman of 45 years old and mother of 5 children
was sentenced in court to death by hanging, accused of blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammad.
It is our mission to inform about the situation of persecuted Christians because of their faith, to pray
and to support them with material help, so they can bear and overcome these difficulties. Our solidarity is
shown primarily through prayer. This way, it was created a prayer chain for the release of Asia Bibi, which
many Portuguese Christians have joined, in communion with all the Christians in the world and the Pope
Benedict XVI, who has also asked for her release.
Thus, we will send to the Auxiliary Bishop of Lahore, in Pakistan, Sebastian Shaw, a list with the name
of all the Portuguese who decided to associate themselves with this initiative. Bishop Sebastian Shaw was
among us from the 14th to the 21st October 2010, in Lisbon, to give witness of the dramatic situation of
Christians in Pakistan and to ask for help to the Portuguese benefactors. Therefore, this list is a concrete
way of being in communion and of telling our brothers and sisters from Pakistan that they are not alone.

Aid to the Church in Need (Fundação AIS in Portugal) supports the faithful wherever they are persecuted, oppressed or in pastoral need.
Father Werenfried van Straaten, the late Founder of Aid to the Church in Need,
once said that our organisation was established to help the Church “wherever she
is persecuted, threatened, undermined or destroyed and suffers need as a result”.
As well as supporting beneficiaries who suffer for the Faith and are in pastoral
need, we also encourage our benefactors to keep the Faith as they feel beleaguered
in an increasingly secularised and materialist world.
Through Aid to the Church in Need we are linked together heart to heart, in a
chain of faith, hope and charity across the world.
