Ada Siraj

Mercy Home

Pakistan is a hotbed of conflict, with clashes between Islamic groups and the government. There are suicide bombings and killings associated with terrorism. In such antagonistic settings deeply rooted hostility against Christians thrives. Though the constitution grants religious freedom, Shariah law rules, and Christians suffer.

In recent years, the violence is escalating.

A Pakistani woman who’d dare to marry a Christian brings trouble not only on herself, but on her entire family. It is not uncommon that the Muslims would kidnap and execute in addition to the newlyweds other family members as well. If Pakistani man is open about his Christian faith, he would not only be

beaten and brutalized but his business would be sabotaged too. If Christian girl is abducted and forcefully married to a Muslim, authorities would not be very forthcoming to the girl's family in providing help in searching for her.

Although the Pakistani High Court has ordered Muslims to stop these cruel practices, some believe that widely tolerated “blasphemy law” and bribing of the local police allow them to persist.

In the midst of escalating violence children are the silent witnesses of persecution and terror. Homes are destroyed and churches burned down. Orphaned children grow up without hope, left alone to forge a life.

Can you imagine growing up like this?

Warm Blankets Orphan Care is striving to offer an island of hope in this sea of despair. We are trying to establish and support fifteen church based orphan homes in Pakistan, including the Ada Siraj Mercy Home in Narowal, Punjab.
Rescued kids are welcomed into the family. Their lives of already changed dramatically – there is hope and care for them, but we also need to provide them with steady source of food, safe shelters and medical care. Ada Siraj is in desperate need of furnishings too. In addition while children attend public schools uniforms and standard supplies are required. Also school fees are to be paid each year. That only averages to a recurring annual expense in range of $32 per child per year.

Out of concern for their safety we would rather not share too many pictures, not even the kids names. Yet consider this: Maybe these children are the ones that need us the most.

Shaking our fists alone won’t restore the lives of these children. But we can partner together in prayer and financial support. Will you join with us in caring for the children of the Ada Siraj Mercy Home? Life in Pakistan is turbulent, but Ada Siraj Home is built upon the strongest foundation of all: Jesus Christ.
