Continue to pray for Shoaib Assadullah. You can read more about his situation in the following article: 23-year old faces death penalty for accepting Jesus.
From his own pen:
“It has almost been 5 months that I have been in jail. The only reason is that I am a Christian.”
As believers we have a responsibility:
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Proverbs 31:8-9
