Listen as Aaron shares how Christian persecution is \u201clike the air\u201d in Pakistan\u2014something that\u2019s always present and almost taken for granted by people there. He\u2019ll also explain how the church prepares believers\u2014especially young people\u2014to be strong in their faith and ready to withstand societal pressure and persecution. Aaron will also talk about the types of persecution faced by former Muslims who leave Islam behind to follow Christ. Finally, he\u2019ll equip listeners with specific ways to pray for Pakistan and the church there.
