Saturday, October 7, 2006 Militants kill two children of a missionary couple in Pakistan

By Sheraz Khurram Khan Special Correspondent for ASSIST News Service in Pakistan http://www.assistnews.net/Stories/s06100040.htm

MUZAFFARABAD, PAKISTAN (ANS) -- In an horrific incident of Christian persecution on September 1, some unidentified militants slew two children of a missionary couple who is working with At Any Cost Jesus Mission, a underground ministry evangelizing to the Muslim nations.

A press release sent via e-mail to ANS by Any Cost Jesus Mission said that the assailants torched the dead bodies of teenaged children Shalom, 15 and Sharon 14 after murdering them brutally in the northern district of Pakistan. The teenaged victims according to the press release were secondary school students.

“Shalom and Sharon were kidnapped along with their missionary parents and two other younger sisters 10 days before the murder. The militants asked them to convert to Islam but they refused,” said the press release.

“So the militants killed Shalom first. Then they raped the girl and cut one of her breasts in front of her parents. She too died”, the press release quoted another underground missionary, Habel who it said broke the news to Any Cost Jesus Mission from a hidden place.

Police and the military forces are backing the militants. Habel and his family was also attacked and their house was burnt but the Lord enabled them to escape to a hidden place. They (militants) also demolished a church and some houses were set on fire too”, the evangelization ministry claimed in the press release.

According to the press release the militants set the motorbike on fire by spraying petrol on it and left the dead bodies in a ditch along with a motorbike.

“The police declared a false statement that it was an accident and the petrol tank of the bike was open when they fell into the ditch and burnt by a spark”, alleged Any Cost Jesus Mission.

The press release said that the believers are living in a grip of fear and trouble following the killing of Shalom and Sharon.

The ministry further claimed in the press release that the militants are not allowing believers to pray.

“They are not even allowed to speak a single word about Christ or Christianity or Christians”, the press release quoted Habel as saying.

The tribal people and their leaders are also being murdered by the terrorists in the Neelum Valley, it said.

I totally agree with the "what were they thinking?" attitude about missionary parents dragging their kids to the hell hole that is the middle east. It's not even safe to take your kids on a pilgrimage to Israel anymore.

Ironic and horrifying that the name of their group is the At Any Cost Mission and those parents paid the ultimate cost.

Why can't we send in Green Berets to do what they were trying to do in Vietnam?

I'm a Christian, and was about to light you up and would have...

except for the small part of you making a valid point.

There are some missions that I would expose my underage children to.

Pakistan ain't one of them.

One of these we will doing next June and I will be watching my daughter like a hawk the entire time.

Yeah, that's just like that article I read the other day about those Christian people murdering the Islamic's children for not declaring Jesus Christ as their savior.

Oh wait Rosie O'Donnell, you wack-job. That DIDN'T HAPPEN!

I agree. If you're going to Pakistan to do missionary work, leave the kids behind with a relative in a more "sane" country.

sure starting to sound like "end times" stuff to me lately. those kids have a special place in heaven waiting for them. the bible tells us that we will be made to turn against god and christ. those who don't will be killed.

Thats true. I don't understand how people don't believe whats in Revelations. It describes our times completely and perfectly. It says we will be forced to bow down to the image of the antichrist. allah? or maybe mohammad?

>>>This might draw some fire, but I accuse the parents of gross neglect of the welfare of their minor children. If the parents want to risk their own lives trying to convert muslims to Christianity, that's their own affair; but their minor children weren't mature enough to make such a life-endangering decision for themselves. >>>

I somewhat agree.

The parents did their Christian duty and brought up their children in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord," and the Holy Spirit enabled them to confess the name of Jesus in the face of death, as millions of martyrs have done since Penecost. "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus Christ is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him ffrom the dead, you will be saved...Everyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame." (Romans 10:9,10)
This life is very temporary...eighty or ninety years, max. These children have gained life everlasting with their faithful witness to Jesus. One simply can't compare with the other. If this life is all one has, that is pitifully little in comparison with eternity.

True Christains know that even though their loved ones were brutally murdered, they are now in Heaven. The Bible says not to fear the first death, but to fear the second death which is hell.

We need an Operation Exodus to get all of the Christians out of Pakistan.

Then we need to bomb that country till nothing living is left.

Rev. 20:

7 When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison.

8 He will go out to deceive the nations at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea.

9 They invaded the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the holy ones and the beloved city. But fire came down from heaven and consumed them.

Having lived in and around Muslims for 5 years I have known this. Anyone who has been to a Muslim country learns this lesson quickly.

Just glad the rest of you are learning what many of us have known was going on for years, decades and centuries.

"15 and 16 year olds do make their own choices...sorry to say this sir but you are an ass."

The children were 15 and 14. And at that age they may make some choices but making an informed choice as to going to a dangerous place isn't one of them. The parents should have left them at home with relatives. I agree with snarks. And he/she isn't an ass but you're coming close.

God has a reason for everything, whether tragedy happens in an Amish schoolhouse, or on the other side of the world near the heart of the evil of our times. While many people act in sub-human ways, each has a soul that will spend eternity somewhere and it should be our prayer that some how, some way, Christ's message reaches them.
