On August 16, Muslim extremists attacked multiple Christian towns and churches in Jaranwala, a city in Punjab, due to blasphemy allegations against two Christians. 

The mob looted and burned more than 90 Christian homes and 21 churches from 7 a.m. until midnight without police interference.

Thankfully, no Christians died as they fled their houses around 6 a.m. Many hid in nearby fields. 

Our team members recently visited Jaranwala to get a first-hand report and see the actual damage caused to the properties.

Nothing is left in the houses as the mob looted all valuables before burning them. The chemicals used to set them on fire were so strong that even the concrete roofs melted.

Afterwards, the mob also desecrated a Christian graveyard and completely destroyed the graves.

We are planning on distributing $170 worth of items, including a cash voucher and a pedestal fan, for each family. The weather is very hot and humid, and all of the fans in their houses are burned. 

This is the least we can do to help each family. Our goal is to raise $15,300 to help the 90 families. 

Would you consider helping these families who have lost everything?
