1. Pakistan is the world's second-largest concentration of unengaged, unevangelized peoples and the world's second largest Muslim population. Few countries, if any, present a greater challenge for missions. Pray for the calling of more intercessors, advocates and missionaries for these people in such hard places.

2. Outreach by Pakistani Christians is an issue needing major change. Huge cultural boundaries exist between the Muslim majority and the Christian minority. Little has been done to reach Muslims or even Hindus. Pray for Christians to be impassioned and equipped to share their faith and to answer the claims and questions of Muslims.

3. Believers from a Muslim background are in a unique and challenging situation. Islam, particularly under shari'a, has grave or deadly punishments for apostates. Yet increasing numbers of Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus, often through media such as literature, radio, TV as well as dreams and visions and the witness of Pakistani Christians. Some networks of Muslim-background believers are emerging for mutual spiritual support and discipleship. Pray for such networks to spread and fellowships to form for these believers so that they do not easily fall away. Pray that any such movement will develop solid disciples with hearts to reach other Muslims.
