Today we can report that we have had an exclusive interview with Tabitha Nazir Gill, a Pakistani Christian nurse, who is rejoicing after finally arriving in North America with her family after narrowly escaping a violent mob.
In early 2021, a video of Tabitha being assaulted by her colleagues went viral after she was accused of insulting the prophet of Islam, a crime of blasphemy, which is punishable by death
in Pakistan. Fearing for her life, she went into hiding while the police investigated the allegations.
Now, over two years later, Tabitha, her husband, Sohail Almas, and their two young sons, have been granted an immigrant visa to an undisclosed country in the West, where they are living under tight security. Tabitha, now 32, told us of her gratitude to Jesus Christ and described her miraculous escape.
She and her family are dedicated to advocating for persecuted Christians in Pakistan and stand in solidarity with others facing similar charges. Their ultimate goal is to ensure justice and support for those affected by religious persecution in their home country.
Together, let's ensure that no one lives in fear for their beliefs. Donate, share their stories, and actively participate in promoting justice and equality for persecuted Christians. Your voice and support can make a difference. Please read more here.

A Decade with no Church
Parishioners of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Penaflor, El Prado, sought assistance from ACN to rebuild their church, which was damaged in a devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2010. Despite their efforts to raise funds through various activities, they have only managed to gather half of the required amount of approximately 300 million Pesos (£300,000). Bishop Cristián Contreras Villarroel emphasised the need for complete rebuilding to comply with new earthquake regulations. The bishop requested 45 million Pesos (£45,000) from ACN to make the church usable while acknowledging the importance of support from the community. Your valuable assistance can help us reach our goal and provide a place of worship for the community. Every
contribution counts towards making the church usable once again. Donate now and be a part of this meaningful endeavour.
