I was born into a strong and prominent Christian family in Punjab Province of Pakistan. When I was about eleven years Old, in 1991, my father started a church known as Church Peter Gill Colony, located on Walton Road in Lahore, the capital city of Punjab. The Church came into being as the result of a land dispute. In an nearly of Lahore, there were living many Christians who were servants of Pakistan Army Officers at the nearby Army camp. I remember when I was about 14 years old, About 4 pm there was a knock at our door and when my dad opened it there was one man who grabbed him and pulled him out into the street about 20 armed men appeared and rushed in through the doorway. Inside the house, the attackers started throwing our belonging out. when my mother and borhter tried to resist, the men grabbed them and threw them out, too. Long story short in this incident two people from my church got shot but survived by the grace of God. That was the day when I truly ask God to take over me and use me for his people. The time when I decided to fight for peace and justice. The time when I determine to be a voice for those who do not have way to tell their story!
I have been posting about Pakitan and the major issue inside Pakistan. One of the most important things why Muslims in general act the way they act is lack of education.
