 BPCA update: 

Christian girl raped while other watched and instructed her! Christian Community near St Joseph's suffer similar attack! Christian man arrested after father duped by loan shark!

Dear all,
 
The BPCA has continued it's work for Pakistani Christians during a very difficult period for our community in Pakistan.  We have become one of the leading voices for our community and in the last quarter spoken with the Canadian Minister for International Religious Freedom and the Policy Director of the United States Commission for International Religious Freedom.  We have outlined our concerns about Pakistan and our recent book "The targeting of Minority 'Others' in Pakistan" has influenced decision makers in Canada and Holland and helped to create special status for Pakistani Christian asylum seekers. 
 
Our work remains unfunded and this limits our success.  However e hope that more of our regular subscribers who learn about the situation facing Pakistani Christians primarily through our work, would be willing to donate towards our ongoing costs.  If you feel you can spare a monthly donation why not join our small list of regular donators by asking your banks to arrange a standing order for any amount you can spare each month, each penny will be appreciated and the money will be spent on our campaign and advocacy work. Why not ask your churches to back our campaign?
 
Our bank details are as follows:

Alternatively if you would like to send a one of donation please use the pay-pal facility on the top right hand corner of our blog, or simply send a cheque made payable to the BPCA  to our address 57 Green Lane, Ilford, Essex, IG1 1XG.
 
With your support we hope to change the lives of millions of Christians in Pakistan.
 
Kind regards
