Chuk 174

Mercy Home

This home is located in suburbs of Sahival, in the province of Punjab.

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; and the violence is escalating. Although Pakistan's constitution grants religious freedom, Sharia law rules, and Christians suffer.

A Pakistani woman who dares to marry a Christian man brings trouble on herself, and often her entire family. They all can face kidnapping and execution. If Christian girl is abducted and forced to marry to a Muslim, the authorities may not be very forthcoming with help in searching for the missing

girl.

Pakistani man who'd open about his Christian faith, could be beaten and brutalized and his business could be sabotaged too. Although the Pakistani High Court has ordered Muslims to stop these cruel practices, some believe that the "blasphemy law" and bribing of the local police allows these anti-Christian practices to persist.

In the midst of this escalating violence, the children are the silent witnesses of persecution and terror. Homes are destroyed, churches burned down, and Christians martyred. Orphaned children are left without anyone; alone and without hope.

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 planning to establish fifteen Mercy Homes in Pakistan, including this one. Rescued orphans are welcomed here where they receive love and hope for a better future.

Will you join with us in caring for the children of the Chuck 174 Mercy Home? Life in Pakistan is turbulent, but Chuck 174 Home is built upon the strongest foundation of all: Jesus Christ.
