Dear Friend of the Persecuted Church,
A few days ago, history was made in Pakistan.
Asia Bibi, a loving Christian wife and mother, was sentenced to death by hanging for the crime of blasphemy against the Prophet Mohammed. This “crime” took place one day when Asia was simply trying to share the love of Christ with Muslim co-workers. After being brutally attacked by these same workers, Asia was thrown into prison, where she spent 16 long months before being handed the shocking death sentence.
Why is this so historic? Because Asia is the first female in Pakistan to be sentenced to death for blasphemy.
Her case could set a precedent in this Muslim-majority nation, where Christians are already intimidated, harassed, and physically abused each and every day. If Asia is put to death, it could mean a rise in prosecutions of Christians — not just in Pakistan, but also in other nations where Islamic law is enforced. That’s why, as concerned friends of the persecuted church, it’s important for each one of us to intercede on this brave woman’s behalf.
I encourage you to sign CFI’s online petition to Susan E. Rice, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, as we seek to make our voices heard about this urgent matter. We believe that it is imperative that the UN exerts pressure on the Pakistani government to steadfastly enforce laws protecting the humanitarian rights of all citizens, regardless of their religious affiliation.
After you sign the petition, be sure to share it with family and friends. Help CFI spread the word about this grave injustice by telling Asia’s story to everyone you know, and encourage them to get involved.
Lastly, please also remember to pray for Asia and her family during this dark, difficult time in their lives.
Thank you, as always, for your concern for God’s persecuted people.

We are appalled by the death sentence given to Asia Bibi simply for sharing the love of Christ with neighbors. And is Pakistan supposed to be a “partner” with the United States in combating evil when you do something like this against a faithful, peace-loving citizen who just happens to want others to know the love of Jesus Christ? We urgently ask that this decision be reversed!
Respectfully,
David & Ruth Lipsy
We urge you to release Asia Bibi to her family. She is clearly innocent.
Please do what you can to reverse this decision! Thank you! Betty Smith
We have been praying for Asia Bibi a long time and will now pray more and ask others to intercede as well.
This is our lot in this world.
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.”
And again,
“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”
2nd Corinthians, Chapter 4 and Colossians 3.
Please help facilitate peace and grant mercy to Asia Bibi.
Condemning an woman as innocent as Asia Bibi by death penalty is extremely diabolic!
My urgent plea is for the Pakistani government to exonerate and vindicate Asia Bibi. Clearly she does not done any wrong. What she did was completely innocuous and deserved no harm.
I am signing this petition not just on behalf of one group but for each and every person in this world that believes in humane justice. I hope the authorities concerned in Pakistan may read each of our petitions and know that:
• We stand united in supporting Asia Bibi’s release.
• We stand united in supporting Asia Bibi’s freedom
• We stand united in supporting Asia Bibi’s rights
• We stand united in supporting Asia Bibi’s faith
• We stand united in supporting Asia Bibi’s ground
Please set her free. Our God that we serve does not condemn anyone for their conviction.
As Christians we are not in competition with anyone but merely to spread the good news about a God of love just as Asia Bibi did. Let us all garner our hearts in prayer and pray to our almighty God that He will intervene in Jesus name and we shall see Asia Bibi walk free at last. I pray right now in the mighty name of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ that those chains of condemnation will be broken. Amen!!!
Hebrews 13:3
Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
God bless you all!!
Yes, we should all pray for her release and the reversal of this sentence. It is horrible that she should receive a death sentence for sharing the love of Christ. I wonder why this was never published or brought to light on a more national level in this or other countries.
One thing that Christians sadly have to remember is that such persecutions absolutely will happen to those that truly follow Christ.
Look at what was done to the Lord Himself. He has done no wrong, as one of the condemned men next to Him said.
My wife, her Bible Study group, our Sunday School class, and our extended family will be praying for Asia Bibi. As believers in the Living, Risen, Jesus Christ, we have constant access with a very deep personal relationship to this Savior. Our God is a God of love not hate. Jesus died for these Muslims and they need to hear it on this side, because the hard truth is that if they do not acknowledge Him on this side, the punishment on the other side will be eternal damnation.
There are many Muslims who may yet be saved, but in order to gain the knowledge required, someone has to share it with them. Muslims are literally “Hell bent” on sharing thier belief with us, so why is their god so afraid of someone sharing their beliefs with them?
Thank you Lord for loving us. Please protect Asia Bibi and do not let her be put to death by these people who need you so desperately.
Joe Sprow
I agree with the petition. I really want to see Asia Bibi freed. Together with my family we will pray for her each day, as she did not commit any crime demanding imprisonment or any other kind of punishment. The charge against her shows that people cannot think freely in Pakistan. We want this to change.
A family from Czech republic
I agree. That is why we must write to our Senators and Congressmen to let them know we do not approve of Pakistan implementing such a punishment upon a Christian, when they belong to the United Nations and have accepted Article 18 of the UN that states all people have the right to freedom of religion. As we see here, Pakistan only allows its own Islamic rules, which are being presented here in America,in Oklahoma. We must take a stand for our sister. The most important thing is prayer.
Please pray for Asia Bibi and her family.
we will pray to God Allmighty in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ for our sirter and all the brothres&sisters
in the Lord Jesus to bo strong and fathfull till the end
of their life adn to be free from prison.
je suis chrétien, je soutien Asia BI, en pensé et en prière,
bonne chance Madame.
We will be praying for sister Asia, and also praying that thousands of Christians sign the petition and stand with her.
May the Lord give Asia Bibi all the strength and consolation that she needs at this difficult hour and to all the Christians suffering for their faith in various parts of the world, especially in Islamic countries.
“Who is it that overcomes the world? Is it not the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 Jn. 5,5)
Fr. Anil Prakash D’Souza OP
Remember…
7 You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.
13 You shall not kill/murder.
Thank you Lord for her life, and just know, what she is doing for Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice and there is no greater crown of glory waiting for her. She is truly blessed to be so extremely persecuted. Praise God…but prayers for her release for the sake of her family. Lord YOUR will be done, not ours.
Please release Asia Bibi, because you falsely accused her.
I am not a Christian, I’m a Buddhist. The persecution of ANYONE for their religious beliefs is VERY wrong,the Authorities in Pakistan should be taken to task in the UN for this outrageous violation of Asia Bibi’s basic right to live as she believes she should. ANY religion which chooses to persecute those who don’t share their religious beliefs is WRONG, STUPID, and likely to find themselves on the receiving end of such treatment when the pendulum swings the other way. ALL religions have a version of the “Golden Rule” SO, Pakistan,treat Asia Bibi as you would have the Rest of the World treat YOU — SET ASIA BIBI FREE!, Deport her and her family to a Christian nation if you must “punish” her at all. I am sure she will be granted Asylum somewhere, and the World will thank you for sparing her life. I also suspect Asia and her family will be very glad to no longer reside in Pakistan. If Pakistan carries out this ridiculously unfair execution, then it had better realize that Public Opinion around the rest of the World will turn firmly against them, especially here in the USA.
Dios es amor.
God is a love.
ASIA BIBI, YOU ARE WONDERFUL.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
PLEASE TAKE ALL STEPS TO REVERSE THE PAKISTANI DECISION TO KILL A PERSON WHO PREFERS FAITH TO LIFE.
Libertad para Bibi!!!!!!!
Petition to free Asia Bibi.
Es una injusticia que clama al cielo.
Tenemos un refran: No ofende quien quiere, sino quien puede.
Si Bibi no cree en Mahoma, ¿como puede ofenderle? Son los hombres quienes condenan y así paso hace 2000 años en Jerusalen, porque los hombres malinterpretaron las antiguas escrituras, conocidas en el mundo cristiano como Antiguo Testamento. Me entristece que Bibi pueda morir, y rezaré porque no lo sea. Hay que recordar a estos brutos humanos que Abraham es padre de Judios, Cristianos y Musulmanes, en consecuencia tambien es padre de Jesucristo y de Mahoma, ¿Consideran que Abraham condenaría a Bibi?
¡Libertad para Bibi ya!, donde está la tolerancia??.
Animo Asia, Dios está contigo.
LIBERTAD PARA ASIA.
Señor escucha a todos los que piden por esa inocente y que sea liberada por amarte más que nadie.
This is Antihuman! A True Hate Crime, we better STOP it NOW!
Let us always remember to pray for her and all those who are persecuted. As hard as it is, we must also pray for the persecuters.
Lord Jesus, Forgive us our sins and bring all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy…
I cannot believe at the stage still people get kill for been christian, please have mercy on her. Release her and let her proclaim our lord God is good
Release Babi and let her proclaim our LORD Good that is good.I will pray for you Babi
Mary, Help of Christians, please intercede for Asia Bibi! St. Joseph, protector of families, please pray for her.
It is unbelievable that persecution happens in Muslim countries against Christians. Yet the Muslims are free to practice their faith in our county. We need to pressure the Pakistan government to change the Shira law, which targets the Christians. Write to your Congressman, Senators, UN, Call the Pakistan Embassy in DC.
Does anyone know if Babi will ever see these comments we leave behind? please respond . . . i would like to know.
in case she does receive these messages, then i, a Christian in the U.S.A., cannot relate to the kind of persecution she is receiving now, but know that i will pray for you to the Father. Stay strong in the faith Babi, for the same power that raised our Lord Jesus in body will also raise you and i to live and reign forever in glory for all, including your persecutors to know finally that you were and are the righteous and just one through the blood of Jesus the Messiah.
We’re tired of this savage laws and cultures. It’s not possible that Middle-Age laws are applied in 2010
Working on it Matt. We have people on the ground in Lahore.
Love is that precious element of life that the Islamic doctrine does not recognize. We MUST know that love is basic to life. As soon as a Moslem
accepts Jesus his spirit ,being reborn, calls out in love for forgiveness and and
immediately begins to weep for those still entangled in this hideous web of
Satan,s I see two huge factors that I have been praying about for many years,
This lovely woman that is carrying the marks of Jesus, and these laws of Hell
that are bringing the Wrath of God,on all who deny HIM.
I wish nothing but the best for Asia. She is going through what our Biblical Forefathers were going through, for their faith in the living God, who gave his life so that whe could all conqour death thru him in faith. Mohamad was a man and only a man!! He was a Prophet for those who felt they were slighted out of the their birthright, because of what Abraham promised in regards to his first born son, Ishmael. The promise that Abraham made to Ishmael, was that the birthright to Christ, would be givin to him. When it turned out that Sarah was indeed going to have a son, as God promised she would, the scenario quickly changed back to what God had promised Sarah and Abraham all along, that Isaac would have the Birthright!! Ever since then just as God promised, the descendents of Hagar and Ishmael have been like a snake, biting at the heels of the Isrialites.
HI ASIA BIBI, ITS GREAT TO SAY MARTYER LIKE THOSE OF IN ANCIENT TIMES, WELL DONE! I PRAY LET HOLY FIRE OF GOD ALMIGHTY IN THE POWERFUL BLOOD OF JESUS WHICH LIKE ACID CONSUME WITH POWER OF HOLYGHOST CONSUME UR FEAR BECUSE V PEOPLE IN CHRIST SATAND AT THE OF DEATH GATE AND BURN AWAY UR DEATH SENTENCE NULLIFY UR DEATH SENTENCE N HOLY GHOST POWER WILL WORK IN A SPECIAL WAY TO RELEASE YOU UNTOUCHED IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME AMEN LET 12 LEGIONS OF ANGELS BE RELEASED TO FIGHT N DEFEAT THESE FORCES OF DARKNESS IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS WE WILL PRAY U TOO TAKE HEART N PRAY AT MIDNITE GOD WL SURELY RELEASE U FREE N FREE FOREVER AMEN!
Please let this not happen. Please release.
We stand for freedom of religion and pray to God that he will give you strength to go all through this valley whatever the outcome will be He is with you.
Dear Asia Bibi,
Blessed are those who suffer injustice and persecution because of JESUS, because they will inherit the kingdom of Heaven.
Our Lord will NOT abandon you, he will be with you until the end of times. That’s is his promise.
Please don’t stop believing in Jesus & God our almighty father, God is on your side you will see it.
My daily prayers are with you, I will also pray for the conversion of all your accusers.
Your setting such an extraordinary example of Christian Faith for the whole world, God bless you & your Family.
“keep The Faith and Trust in God, he ALWAYS appears in the last hour of the darkest days of our lives”
please us for freedom of religion….
I will continue to pray for asia and her family.
Dear Sister Asia,I have started praying to the Lord to release you from those Brutal and ignorant people. Take courage and Strength in our Savior Lord and give your sorrows and broken heart to Him and He will turn your sorrows into joy.Take care,
May his Shalom Remain with you.
Love from violet.
HALLO.
My name JACEK FROM POLAND.
PLEASE GIVE HER FREE.
REMEMBER OUR GOOD LOOK TO US AND YUOURS FAMILLY
BIBI sentencing to death is murder. On the whole, and certainly God condemn this act (offender response before him for this terrible act) and the world which will not be able to excuse …..
Dear sister Asia. We’re with you and we all believe that you’ll be released soon. God is with you and he always will.
Please, release her!
Asia, you are such an inspiration. The Lord is on your side!
Asia,
No matter what happens we will see you in heaven as the Bride of our Christ rejoicing in our reigning King. We suffer with you in our hearts. Our God is Sovereign and good. May His angels minister to you as they did our Savior after His temptation. He will take care of your family. We love you dear sister. Gary & Diana
Dear Asia,
We know what ever happens we will see you in heaven rejoicing in your reigning King and being the Bride of Christ. May His angels minister to you as they did for our Savior after His temptation. Our good Shepherd will take care of your family. We love you our dear sister in Christ. Gary & Diana
Dear Asia,
You are an inspiration and a beautiful, loved bride of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We are praying for you and your family. Remember Jesus is with you. He will never forsake you.
Dear Asia, my beloved sister in Christ Jesus,
I will continue to pray for you and your soon release. May God give you peace, comfort and hope in His word and your faith. Thank you for bravely living your faith. I always pray for my brothers and sisters in bondage that God will help them (you) to endure and be released and that your light so shines in your world that even your captors will see Christ in you and also be saved.
Asia, I will pray for your release from this horrible injustice! Jesus Christ does hear our prayers and is right there with you and He will take care of you and your family. Stay strong, dear sister in our Lord Jesus Christ! Praise HIM in all things.
Asia Bibi free!
Pray for Asia Bibi
The Lord is on your side!
Asia, you’re inspirational for us all. God bless U!
Freedom to Asia Bibi. Stop the persecution of other religions
We(Brazilians) support freedom expression. For saving lives from stupid religious fanaticism, stop this gross intolerance, now!
Paquistão foi um dos países signatários da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, da ONU, que em seu artigo XVIII aduz: “Todo ser humano tem direito à liberdade de pensamento, consciência e religião; este direito inclui a liberdade de mudar de religião ou crença e a liberdade de manifestar essa religião ou crença, pelo ensino, pela prática, pelo culto e pela observância, em público ou em particular”.
Uma Fé verdadeira não se sustenta sobre a eliminação dos que não crêem ou que crêem em algo diferente. É diante das diferenças que ela pode ser fortalecer nas mentes de seus seguidores. Quanto mais tolerante o fiel, mais ele é seguro de sua própria Fé.
Asia, The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you. You’re in my prayers.

Dear Asia,
Today, God, give me this hole text:
Psalms 17.
[1]Hear a just cause, O LORD; attend to my cry!
Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!
[11] They track me down; now they surround me;
they set their eyes to cast me to the ground.
[12] They are like a lion eager to tear,
as a young lion lurking in ambush.
[13] Arise, O LORD! confront them, overthrow them!
Deliver my life from the wicked by thy sword,
[14] from men by thy hand, O LORD,
from men whose portion in life is of the world.
May their belly be filled with what thou hast stored up for them;
may their children have more than enough;
may they leave something over to their babes.
[15] As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness;
when I awake, I shall be satisfied with beholding thy form.

We are praying for you and your beloved ones, believing that God will help, protect and support all of you.
God always bless you.

A palavra de Deus é mais forte do que qualquer decisão descabida das pessoas que são sua obra. Paquistaneses devem abrir os olhos, especialmente aqueles que vivem transmitindo o ódio e repulsa pelas religiões cristãs. Acho que Deus dará a prova de seu poder àqueles que exitam em compreender a sua misericórdia. O mundo tão grande e tao pequeno está cansado de receber cobras de origem humana que interpretam as leis de Deus de forma irracional e debocham para a sua herança: a paz, o amor e a humildade.
Asia,
I pray that God will bring you peace in your heart, and that you will go back to your family soon. I lost my wife to illness four years ago and I pray that your husband and family would not have to suffer losing you for a long, long time. Your courage is an inspiration to me. I don’t know if I would ever be able to show such courage.
I leave you with my favorite Bible Verse: 1 Peter 5:7 says, “CASTING ALL YOUR CARES UPON HIM, FOR HE CARES FOR
YOU.” Remember that no matter what happens to you, God loves you Asia. You are in my prayers.

Jesus christ mentioned in the new testament is: “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28)
We will pray for you. God will be with you.

Dear Asia,
I know you have been unjustly condemned, They are good at set people ( who are not in their like ) up and mercilessly unfairly destroy them. But just hang in there and keep up your faith in Jesus. The Lord will save you.
My heart felt prayers are with you Asia, and with your persecutors…may God reach them, their souls and compassion. Prayers and more prayers, God Bless you.
Asia can not die, she’s already in God. Cristians of all the world, do something for her, a prayer, a email, something.

Asia Bibi is a great light to Christians and recalls our beginnings two thousand years ago. It also reminds us how persecuted many Christians are today, two millenium later. Her letters from prison to her children have touched my family including normally my thick skinned seventeen year old son.
Asia Bibi is my inspiration today and she will be light and my example. I normally live such a closed and selfish life but hearing her story she has inspired me, by her courage, faith and human story, to live my day, today, in honour of God. She will be in my heart as an example of Christian witness.
I find it utterly unjust how in some muslim countries Christians are so restricted in their religious freedom, even though the citizens of those same countries expect their rights to be respected in the west. Governments of these countries, should hang their heads in shame.
Free Asia Bibi, NOW. Innocent Christian woman facing a barbaric execution due to slanderous hatred from terrorists.
