Pumped For Life
Do you know about the persecution of Christians in Pakistan?
Did you know that 90% of Christians are slaves in Pakistan on brick kilns.
On every brick Kiln, 25 to 30 Christian families are slaves from generation to generation and because Christians are poor in Pakistan. Just imagine each family having 5 to 6 children where so many Christians are suffering.
They work as slaves but they receive NO FOOD and NO CLEAN WATER from their masters. Because they have no clean water many believers in Jesus are suffering from various waterborne diseases.
Keep reading to see a video of the water source for these Christian families to drink from.
Thousands of children held captive in slavery are dying every day.
These Christian families start their days at 3:00 AM and does not end till 6:00 PM. Both the parents and the children work together seven days a week.
As soon as a child is strong enough to pick up a brick he/she is required to work alongside their parent.
Sadly, if the little ones don not produce enough bricks each day, the children are beaten.
Here is a video documenting the dirty water many Chirstian slaves have to drink from each day.
It makes sense that so many adult and children slaves would get sick and die from various waterborne diseases because of dirty drinking water. We hope you can help us to drill wells for these slave families.
Pakistan ranks THIRD on a list of 167 countries where human slavery is the most prevalent, according to the Global Slavery Index. 12.5 million children in Pakistan are involved in labour. Out of them, 4.8 million are bonded slaves at brick kilns. The innocent children become a bonded labourer when their parents are tricked into taking a loan. Information from the Global Slavery Index, (GSI) states over two million people are enslaved in Pakistan. Punjab and Sindh are especially bad with a large number of bonded labourers in sectors such as brick making.
Bonded labour is also called debt bondage and is defined as a form of slavery.
We never quite realized how fortunate we are to be able to wake up each morning in a comfortable house to be warm, safe, able to enjoy multiple meals and either go to work or to school.
For some this is just dream.
In Pakistan many parents and children have suffered loss, sickness, disease and heart ache.
Please help us in supporting these slave families with clean drinking water, food and proper shoes. We pray you will be able to work with us to bring a new water pump this month to support these enslaved families.
This fundraiser will provide the funds to local Christian men in Pakistan who will dig a well for clean drinking water for the slaves at this brick plant. Clean water leads to healthy families in Pakistan.
God Bless you as you give what you can. Together, we can provide a new water well for these Christian families.
