Day 2-Cities: Karachi

• That God would send more gospel laborers to this city and its millions of Pashtuns.
• That God would draw the Pashtuns in Karachi to himself, and for their hearts to be warm and receptive to his message.
• That God would raise up Pashtuns who would be willing to pour out their lives on the feet of Jesus like a sweet perfume, risking everything to take the good news to their people and others beyond!

ISAIAH 41:17

“The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the Lord will answer them, I… will not forsake them.

Karachi, Pakistan has the largest population of Pashtuns of any city in the
world, with some estimates of up to 7 million. You can find them all over
this fun, bustling multicultural city. They are working in tea shops, driving
rickshaws, studying in the universities, or sitting with their families in the
park. They are extremely thankful and friendly when someone says even a
few words in Pashto to them.
There are also big challenges in this city. People deal with extreme heat,
power outages, and all kinds of infrastructure problems. For the poor in the
city, this can make life extremely difficult; but beyond all these challenges,
you will find a massive sea of incredibly friendly and warm-hearted people.
There are millions wanting to chat to anyone who will come learn their
language and give them the time.
Many Pashtuns are weary from the heavy anxieties of life in this
massive city. Their souls are parched, and their bodies and minds are
exhausted. They have no one to set them free from the bondages of sin,
shame, and despair. Many have hearts that are crying out day and night,
longing to have an intimate relationship with God. Who will go and tell
them that this is possible?
Let us have faith for what the Father can do in this place. He knows
how many hairs are on the head of every Pashtun, and each one is precious
in his sight. He is not overwhelmed by the number of them; instead, He
longs to know them and pour out his love upon them. Let us ask him to
make a way in the wilderness!
On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If
anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.” John 7:37
