BPCA Pakistan lead officer Mehwish Bhatti prays with the family of Nouman Masih.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong>Today British Pakistani Christian Association Lead Pakistan Officer Mehwish Bhatti met with the family of deceased teenager Nouman Masih (RIP).  The
\nunfortunate 15 year old was set alight after being doused in kerosene by Muslim youths in Pakistan after he admitted he was Christian, when questioned.
\n <\/p>\n

By a miracle he survived the initial attack despite being treated at Mayo Hospital without a special burns unit.  However, after five days and plastic
\nsurgery – treatment despite his health vulnerability – he passed away on Friday.<\/p>\n

Mehwish Bhatti met his paternal uncle’s wife, her daughter, and the sister of Nouman Masih, Sabha today to counsel them, share God’s word and pray with
\nthe family.  <\/p>\n

The family described how they gained solace knowing Nouman was now with Christ and was free from the intolerance and the debilitating pain the violent
\nthugs had left him suffering with.<\/p>\n

Mehwish described her encounter with Sabha the sister of Nouman as a moment of great wonderment. Sabha surprised Mehwish with her depth of scriptural
\nknowledge and spiritual awareness.  Mehwish should know as she runs an on-line ministry that reaches out to nominal Christians and unbelievers.  <\/p>\n

Before leaving Mehwish gifted the aunt of Sabha with 30,000 Pak-rupees.  An amount equivalent to that spent by the family of Nouman Masih on his
\nfuneral, that included huge food expenses following over 1000 visitors to the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Sadly a few Christians in Pakistan have believed the lie in Pakistani media that Nouman Masih was killed by family members, a similar attempt was
\nmade by the Pak-media in the aftermath of the death of Shahbaz Bhatti.  Such brainwashing tactics seem to work only on the Christian elite in Pakistan, who
\noften through compromise with Muslims in order to live safely in the more wealthy Muslim areas, start to immerse themselves in the propoganda.  The
\nreal shame of this is that these educated more financially secure then choose to ostracise themselves from the poorer Christian classes in an attempt to
\nbe absorbed into Muslim mainstream society, when they should be protecting our suffering family.  The BPCA will continue to shine a light on the truth
\nas we campaign to bring peace and prosperity to a hapless community bereft of a voice.<\/p>\n

We interviewed Nouman Masih before he died as did another group.  In both videos Nouman Masih clearly described the following points:<\/p>\n
