Pakistani Muslims are responding to Christianity through the help of Christian relief organizations working in the area after the greatest earthquake in Pakistan’s history killed more than 84,000 people.
Persecution watchdog group Voice of the Martyrs donated more than $75,000 used to provide Action Packs, food, medicine, blankets, tents and He Lived Among Us gospel storybooks.
More than 2,000 Action Packs – a vacuum bag that allows donators to personally pack items such as blanket, light jacket, shirt, hat, towel, etc. for quake victims – were distributed in the area.

“You are the first who came to us. We thought Christians were our enemies, but after distributing Action Packs, we came to know that we were wrong,” a Muslim leader said to Voice of the Martyrs. “You are the real believers; you have a real compassion for Muslim people.”
The Pakistanis living in the devastated areas are predominantly hard-line Muslims that are opening their hearts through this tragedy, reported VOM.
Reports from VOM staffs indicate that mosques are now opening their doors to the Gospel and that one Mullah (Muslim cleric) made sure that every child had a copy of He Lived Among Us.
“This was our rigid concept – that Christians (especially the Americans) are not good. But in our difficult time, the Christians have been supporting us with tents, food packages, blankets, medical camps and Action Packs. With this concern and good behavior, we are sure that ‘heaven’ is your treasure,” said Mosque leader Muhammad Aseem to VOM.
