Because proper Christian education in Pakistan is not provided, especially for the youth, many Christians have mixed beliefs. They are like the Samaritans. For example, in one Christian Bastee, where everyone is labeled Christian on his identification card, the people have a small room in their homes where they practice Hindu, Sikh and Islamic rituals. These people will tell you that yes they are Christians who do believe in Jesus but that they love the other gods too.

Christians are interested in receiving Christian literature, but they are not the only ones. Muslims also want to read Christian literature—especially those Muslims who have heard about the Lord Jesus Christ like to read The Bible and other literature to learn more about him and the Christian faith. In Pakistan where the Muslims overwhelmingly are devoted Muslims they are at the same time curious and want to learn more about the Lord Jesus Christ.

Through these circumstances the Holy Spirit moved me to ask WELS to provide Christian literature for both my Christian brothers and sisters and for Muslim fellowships. Surprisingly, the Muslims who are using the literature have shown more interest than many Christians. Indeed, some of them have completed all the books in the Bible Teachings Series and are now waiting for new books to be completed. This program has not only blessed other people but also my own family very much.
