Blasphemy case file in Gujarat on Christian family

Blasphemy case file in Gujarat on Christian family
15 August 2015, Umar Butt, who is running a General Store in Mughal Colony, read that pamphlet. When he read the pamphlet he noticed that the word “Rasool” (which normally means according to the Bible is an apostle, in simple term the servant of God) was written instead of Pastor and he didn’t know the actual Bible meaning according to Christian faith; but after that Umar Butt asked to a Christian young man of that area, that why did they write that word for a Pastor.
Meanwhile; arguments started between them on that issue. Umar Butt went to Police Station of Model town along with a ‘Mufti’ (An Islamic Jurist) and a man named Aftkhar; who was the reporter of Royal TV for filing the case against Pastor Aftab and against all those people whose name were written on the pamphlet.

Again we pray for the suffering people of Egypt, Syria, Ukraine, and Pakistan and throughout the world who are being persecuted for their Christian faith, especially Father Cyril he is persecution for Christian faith and preaching in nonbelievers.

Again we pray for the suffering people of Egypt, Syria, Ukraine, and Pakistan and throughout the world who are being persecuted for their Christian faith, especially Father Cyril he is persecution for Christian faith and preaching in nonbelievers. We pray for the families, friends and communities who are wounded and grieving; that the Lord Our God will look upon them with mercy and will heal, comfort, strengthen and shelter them in His love.
Again we pray to Thee, O Lord and God, for the repose of those who have departed this life in these ungodly, horrific and evil persecutions; especially those whose earthly sojourns have ended suddenly, without repentance; give them rest where all sickness, sorrow and sighing have passed away: hear us, O Lord, and have mercy.
Again we pray for all those working to bring peace, security, relief and recovery to those injured in body, soul and spirit and who are in desperate need; and for all who are anxious and fearful; that they may persevere in their struggles and find consolation, hope and courage in Jesus Christ, Our Savior and Our God.
Again we pray that the Lord God will preserve this city and this holy house, and every city and land from pestilence, famine, earthquake, flood, fire, the sword, the invasion of enemies, terrorist attack and from civil war; and that our good God, who loves mankind, will be graciously favorable and easy to be entreated, and will turn away from us all the wrath stirred up against us, and deliver us from all His righteous chastisement, which impends against us, and have mercy upon us. info@ocpak.com

Father Cyril presented a homily and explains the importance of thanks giving.

“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.” (2 Corinthians 9:10-11)
It is a common Orthodox practice for the faithful to give thanks to God in prayer for positive outcomes in their lives. One of the Mission’s parishioners, Angelina Rashida, invited Father Cyril to perform a thanksgiving prayer service with his family. Her mother Rehmat Bibi recently recovered from a long illness and the family wanted to give thanks. Father Cyril presented a homily and explains the importance of thanks giving.
