Mon 9. Mukhtar – Pakistan

A young man was hooked on drugs, doing nothing and always a thorn in flesh of his family. I noticed his problem when I visited the family. Then, he came to my office to ask for money and I seized the opportunity to minister to him and give him a copy of our Bible devotional. It was during Lent, so I urged him to attend Lent services in a nearby church. A month after, he returned to ask me many questions. God has used our time together to bring a change to his life.

Please pray for his complete deliverance.
