Why are you doing this job?
News this morning reports that gunman raided the World Vision office about 50 miles outside Islamabad, Pakistan. Six workers were killed.
(S)urvivors said the gunmen singled out the aid workers, separating them from some laborers who happened to be there, before shooting them execution style.
“They asked everyone ‘why are you doing this job?’”
This particular World Vision office has focused on relief and rebuilding after the earthquake that killed 73,000 in October 2005.
As in most World Vision locations, most of the employees in Oghi, Pakistan, are local people. All who were killed and injured are Pakistanis who were working in the name of Christ on behalf of their own people.
Please pray for their grieving families and that Jesus’ name might shine.

May the Lord be near to the families of those brave servants of our God.
though world vision is a christian organization, the people killed were all muslim pakistanis.
still, a very sad story.
