Dewey,

Praise God!We have confirmed reports that after six months since her acquittal last October, the Pakistani Christian woman Asia Bibi is out of Pakistan and has arrived safely in Canada, where her family now lives.

An Open Doors spokesman expressed their joy: “This is wonderful news. And we hope there will not be repercussions for the Christians in Pakistan but [that this] would, in fact, make a way for change, hope and reconciliation.”

Today, tens of millions of prayers from believers around the world—lifted up for more than a decade—have been answered.

Share your praise and prayer on our Prayer Wall—and read the prayers of hundreds of others who have been praying with you.

Share Your Prayer

Join us in the celebration! And continue to intercede for the 3.9 million Christians in Pakistan.

If you sense God calling you to give a gift to support persecuted Christians in Pakistan and throughout the world, you can find more information here.

U.S. Pastor Andrew Brunson recently said that there was a “tsunami of prayer crashing into Turkey” as Christians prayed for his release. Thank you for doing the same with us for Asia, her family and the church in Pakistan—and for loving your persecuted family around the world.

Best,
