Parveen is the daughter of poor parents in Pakistan. Like many Christian girls in Pakistan, she worked as a maid in a Muslim home to help support her family. Parveen received just $17 a month for her work.
Christians in Pakistan often have a hard time getting a good education and good jobs. Most of the best opportunities go to Muslims. Muslims are people who follow the religion called “Islam.” Islam does not agree with the teachings of the Bible.
Muslims believe they should pray five times a day. They say mostly the same words each time. On Fridays, many Muslims go to a mosque to pray. A mosque is a building where Muslims worship.
One Saturday, Parveen’s boss, Fatima, told Parveen to come to work the next day. “I have guests coming tomorrow,” Fatima said.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand (Ephesians 6:13, NIV).
The Assembly
On September 17, 2007, the teachers at a public school in Pakistan called all the students to a special assembly. At the assembly, a teacher announced to the entire school that the “Injil” has been changed and is now false. “Injil” is the name that Muslims call the New Testament of the Christian Bible.
