US based Pakistani evangelist Joseph K Din shot dead by militants in Pakistan
PCP ^ | September 09, 2007

Pakistan: September 4, 2007. Evangelist Joseph K. Din was settled in Virginia State with three daughters, a son and wife who decided to preach word of Lord in Pakistan after his retirement in USA.

He was involved in evangelism at age of 30 but became full time evangelist and headed to his native city of Lahore.

The Din family is serving God through evangelism from four decades and established “ Family Ministry”

The Unique idea of “Family Ministry” was to help local Christian communities to arrange prayer meetings and to offer visits for spiritual encouragements. Family Ministry also worked with local ministries and congregation. Joseph Din’s sister Nazir Din was running Family Ministry when he joined his sister in October 2006, in Lahore.

On August 25, 2007, Joseph K Din returned home at 3:oopm after preaching and was sitting with his sister. He was planning for evening visits to a family for prayers when he saw two bearded young men in home.

When Evangelists Joseph saw them in home, he asked them who are you and how do you get inside? But instead of any reply bearded men took out guns and shot him four times in chest and head.

On hearing firing shots, Nazir Din rushed out of her room and saw he brother fallen on ground in blood bath. She saw those bearded Muslims walking out of home and fleeing on motorcycle.

The neighbors also came after hearing shooting sound and rushed Evangelists Joseph to hospital but he could not survive and went to his eternal home.

The police registered a murder case against un-known people and no arrest has been made till September 4, 2007.

Disgusting. These Mohammadan Satanists aren’t even human beings, but lower than vermin. May this man rest in peace and prayers for his family.

It’s quite humbling to witness the persecution of Christians in that part of the world. House churches, with lay ministers having to smuggle Bibles across borders.

Words fail me. Here’s a nascent, uplifting ministry that is taking hold in Iran. While I’m not crazy about Presbyterians, at least the resources and ministry is taking root.

This gentleman is a colleague of mine presently in seminary at Princeton. He has a vision of humanity I’d never seen before, but still remains in my prayers and hopes.

Horrible! Osama was just rambling how Muslims are “tolerant” of Christians in his terror address. We all know this is a lie. The radical Muslims will not rest until the whole world is converted to Islam, and they are more than willing to snuff out the opposition.

Obviously, militant Muslims are willing to murder Christians - simply for being Christians, to achieve their goal of domination.

How brutal and destructive are WE willing to be, in order to survive?

If Christians have to resort to being deliberately brutal and destructive, it negates our entire reason for existing. There’s a difference between being evil and being vigilant. We need to employ the latter as best as we can and dispatch the former.

Sure, it’s disgusting, but expect more, and be prepared to defend yourself.

“militants”?

Sound like Islamonazi Islamic Supremacists to me.

Another human rights violation that the world ignores. The Socialists in South Africa had better PR I guess.

this isn’t the first period in history where Christians have been persecuted but it is our duty to wake the world up to the ongoing genocide by Islamic Supremacists.

Muslims have GREAT love for non-muslims. They make wonderful sex slaves.

The Imam at Ask The Imam agree that while the concept may be unpopular among western nations the laws of mohammed still stand and CANNOT be revoked.

Is the MSM mentioning this at all? Oh, I forgot, for them moslems killing Evangelist is not worthy to be mentioned. This is one of the examples how the leftwing media and Islam are in the same bed.

You're kidding, right?

I can't be a good Christian, unless I stand quietly by until it's my turn to be murdered?

Okay -- lets say we should be vigilant...
Now then, what will you recommend we do once our "vigilance" has made it possible for us to SEE and ACKNOWLEDGE that Muslims are killing everyone is sight.....
What do we do then -- get unintentionally violent?

As I've believed and lived my entire life - and to no small measure responsible for my achieving a ripe old age -- "You may turn the other cheek, but I prefer to look into my enemy's vacant dead eyes"..

Let me assure you - the ONLY method that has EVER been successful in defeating thugs - is with force or the credible threat of using force...

BRUTAL and DESTRUCTIVE FORCE....

As soon as I saw the word “militants”, I knew that it was members of the middle eastern death cult that wants to take over the United States and make everyone a member of the death cult. How did I know? It must be my finely-tuned reverse filter which restores words that the media deliberately cuts out.

Oh, enough with the hyperbole, will you?

Disgusting they are. Low they are.

They are as low as human beings, because THEY ARE human beings.

"I just want you to know that Jim Baker and I, the family, want to thank you for all you have done. Oh, and do not give a minute of thought to the Christians you persecute and help kill world wide."

It's pretty pathetic when Jimmy Carter pushed more for religious freedoms than any other President.
