At present there are only a handful of Pakistani lawyers in the UK, and many Pakistani Christians desperately need shelter and refuge in Britain. The suffering of Pakistan’s Christian minority is well documented, but people are not aware of the tragic way in which many of those who muster up the courage to seek refuge in the West are turned away at the door. There is a need for the Pakistani church in Britain to work in tandem with the church in Pakistan to ensure that members of their flock know in advance what support is available for them from the church and where they can turn upon arrival in a foreign and bewildering land. For many, their poor English makes receiving guidance from a British advisor a daunting challenge. Even if they are able to find a fellow Pakistani to assist them, the advisors tend to be Muslims and so the problem of distrust arises.
No home for persecuted Pakistani Christians
