\n My whole family received the word with joy and were encouraged in their faith. Though we have faced great trouble in 2015 I look forward to God’s promise
\n of a better life.\u2019\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n
After the service a fellowship meal was provided to the church and everyone stayed back to rejoice and share love with one another. <\/p>\n
A highlight of the programme for many was the presence of Qaisor Pervaiz, a survivor of the Youhanabad bomb attack at St James Church, and his
\n wife Samina, who were specially invited. The couple shared the testimony of how God supernaturally preserved Qaisor\u2019s life after he was caught
\n up in the attack. The doctors declared him dead after the suicide bombing in which he suffered 85% burns tackling one of the suicide bombers. After
\n resuscitation he was taken to the local hospital, which has no specialist burns unit, and was in a coma with doctors advising Samina that he would
\n not make it. Samina refused to believe this and much prayer was offered by the family, neighbours, local churches, and BPCA supporters for his
\n healing. Qaisor continued to go from strength to strength and he is even hoping to return to work in the near future. The couple are very grateful
\n to the BPCA and all supporters for everything that has been done to help them. They gave thanks and glory to God that despite everything that he
\n has endured, Qaisor is alive and standing before them able to tell them of God\u2019s goodness. His life was saved in such a miraculous way and it is
\n clear that God still has plans for Qaisor, his life was not meant to be over yet.<\/p>\n
Qaisor, said:<\/p>\n
“God has brought me back from the brink of death and I stand before you now, able to share with you how grateful I am for his mercy. My physical body may not be as strong as it once was but my spirit soars high and I praise His name greatly. He has allowed me to see my children grow up the very children He gifted to me, when you next struggle please do not condemn God but remember this he has a watchful gaze over us and his promise of eternal life is a gift that should never be forgotten or ignored.” <\/span><\/p>\n Our other special guests were Suleman, Sonia and Poonam, the children of Shama and Shahzad a couple burned alive in a brick kiln last year after The distribution of audio bibles was another very significant part of our outreach and those in attendance showed great hunger for them, desiring We held a bible quiz during the fellowship meal and distributed gifts to men, women and children according to their ability to correctly answer Essentially the programme was an opportunity for people to receive God\u2019s transforming word in their lives, be encouraged and have an opportunity Our prayer call was for those who wished to be free of any habits or sins that they knew were not in line with God\u2019s word and which were holding The BPCA gives special thanks to Pastor Shafiq who helped us to organise and conduct the outreach, and all our faithful partners and donors as Wilson Chowdhry, Chairman of the BPCA, said:<\/p>\n
\n a false blasphemy charge. The children expressed their delight at being invited and were overwhelmed with happiness at receiving gifts from
\n BPCA. Sonia and Poonam enjoyed the meal and company of other children so much that they did not want return home and nagged their grandfather to
\n let them stay longer. This reaction was wonderful to see and we are so grateful to God for the remarkable love poured out in their lives since
\n they so cruelly lost their parents. <\/p>\n
\n to access to the word of God for themselves. Inevitably the demand greatly outstripped the supply of this precious gift. We distributed ten

\n to receive prayer and we praise God that 30 people responded to the prayer call and 5 people were healed. One was cured of a severe headache
\n and two had been ill for a week with fever, another girl had an unexplained pain in her right arm which was instantly healed when prayed for.<\/p>\n
