FAISALABAD, PAKISTAN - July 21, 2010. Another assault against our Apostolic brethren took place today. Our leaders called us today and informed us about what is ocurring in Faisalabad, Pakistan. He said, “the Muslim extremists have taken up arms and are assaulting our homes all over the area with guns and automatic rifles. There is utter chaos in the streets and the soldiers and police have fled from the terrorists. We have sent many of our women to safe havens and have stayed to protect our homes and church. We are willing to die for the Gospel if so be. If you do not hear from me for a long time, you probably know what happened. Please continue praying for us.”
“They have burnt our shops and stores and have destroyed much of the area. Three churches have been completely destroyed. God has protected us and our own building.”
UPDATE: Tuesday 8:47 AM PST
Our Pakistani minister states, “My heart is crying. I feel that I have died. The ministers that were martyred were ministering were educated and young. One who was pastor. He was 32 years old and married. The other was unmarried. You can see pictures

That night thousands of people surrounded us and the were firing and destroying everything in sight. Police threw tear gas and scatter them. Still we are under fear and we are afraid of the attacks. Police have controlled all the areas. We have sent around ou people to the other safe area and we are feeding them.”

The following is an update from Pakistan Christian Post:
“The Muslims are firing with automatic assault rifles and pistols in an attack on our houses while police is doing nothing to stop them” called Pakistan Christian Post, one resident from Warispura, a biggest Christian colony in Faisalabad. The voice of caller was trembling who identified himself local leader of Christian Lawyers Foundation CLF.
Keeping in view, rising tension among Muslims after broad daylight murder of Two blasphemy accused brothers Rashid Emmanuel and Sajjad Emmanuel here today in Faisalabad court, administration have deployed heavy contingents of law enforcement around dozens of Christian colonies and Churches in city.
There were appeals of calm by government and other leaders after Martyrdom of Two Christian brother by hands of Muslims extremists but violence broke out at night.
Muslims gathered in thousands outside Warispura and Daudnagar, two biggest Christian colonies in heart of Faisalabad and started firing at homes of Christians.
There are reports of many injured Christians till our posting this reports and calls from Christians in siege to PCP that administration and police is doing nothing to stop them.
The Christians are complaining that instead stopping Muslim mob, police is beating them and firing teargas shells on them.
It is feared that any sad incident like Gojra is in progress in Warispura also. Muslim mob had burnt alive 7 Christian women and Children in Gojra Town on 1st August 2009. The 60 homes of Gojra Christians were also destroyed and Churches set of fire. The Gojra is few miles from Faisalabad.
