Safe House Progress and Ongoing Justice Appeals Our safe house roof should be completed by the end of this week. Dear Supporters, I hope this message finds you well. We are pleased to share a few important updates from our ongoing work in the links below this
introduction. In particular, we draw your attention to our most urgent appeal, which is also highlighted in the subject line of this email. This relates to the tragic case of Imran Masih, who was brutally murdered in Faisalabad on 31st May 2026 after a Muslim friend allegedly entered his home during the night and attacked him with a knife. During the same incident, his nephews, Arbaz Masih and Akash Masih, were seriously injured while trying to
save him. The British Asian Christian Association has since visited the grieving family, provided immediate financial assistance, and supported the injured survivors throughout their medical treatment. The family is now facing overwhelming grief alongside mounting medical expenses, loss of income, and ongoing hardship, while police continue their search for the suspect. Read more (here) We are delighted to report the successful installation of another clean water pump in a rural community in Sindh. Each of these projects continues to bring immense joy and transformation, providing safe drinking water, improving
health, and restoring dignity to entire villages. Read more (here). At this latest installation, there was a particularly moving moment captured in a
photograph showing, for the first time, many women in the community uncovering their faces and raising their hands in celebration. It was a powerful expression of relief, gratitude, and hope, reflecting the profound impact that even one clean water source can have on an entire community. Our safe house project is also now on the verge of completion. Just a small amount of additional funding is still needed to finish the final works and fully equip the building with essential
safety and security features. This safe house will provide emergency refuge for Christians fleeing persecution, violence, forced conversions, and false accusations. At this final stage, every contribution makes a real and tangible difference. Read
more (here). Finally, I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported my international law internship appeal. I am now pleased to share that I have officially secured and booked my place on the programme, using the £1,000 I personally saved while working as a security officer and your generous donations. This will be the final time I include this appeal in the newsletter, but I
would still be very grateful for any further support to help me reach the remaining target. So far, I have raised £2,980 towards the £3,900 goal, and any additional donations will go towards covering outstanding costs and living expenses during the placement. You can donate (here). Thank you, as always, for your continued prayers, encouragement, and
generosity. Blessings,
Hannah Chowdhry Christian Labourer Killed in Faisalabad to Brutal Knife Attack Imran Masih was brutally murdered in Faisalabad on 31st May 2026 after a Muslim friend allegedly entered his home during the night and attacked him with a knife. His nephews, Arbaz Masih and Akash Masih, were seriously injured while trying to save him from the assault. The British Asian Christian Association has visited the grieving
family, provided financial assistance, and supported the injured survivors during medical treatment. The devastated family now faces mounting medical expenses, loss of income, and ongoing hardship as police continue searching for the suspect. A Roof of Refuge: BACA Safe House Nears Completion in PakistanA major milestone has been reached in the construction of the British Asian Christian Association’s (BACA) first safe house for persecuted Christians in Pakistan, as roofing work now moves into its final stage of completion. This permanent facility is not designed as long-term accommodation, but as a rapid-response protection hub—a secure place where urgently threatened Christians
can be moved immediately, before being supported into safer, longer-term rented housing elsewhere. It represents a critical missing link in BACA’s protection pathway: ensuring that no victim in crisis is ever left waiting for safety. BACA Restores Family Livelihood After Road Accident Following rape survivor Shumaya’s Medical TreatmentSix-year-old rape survivor Shumaya and her family were involved in a serious road accident while returning home from a medical examination. Read more (here). The crash left Shumaya’s father, Saleem Masih, and brother, Danish, injured and severely damaged the family’s only source of income—a rented rickshaw. With the vehicle rendered unusable, the family faced further financial hardship amid their ongoing pursuit of justice. BACA funded essential repairs to the rickshaw, helping the family restore their
livelihood and continue supporting Shumaya through her recovery. Christian and Hindu Families Receive Lifeline Through New Water Pump British Asian Christian Association has installed a new water pump in Misri village, Sindh, providing clean drinking water to vulnerable Christian and Hindu families. For years, women and girls were forced to walk long distances across unsafe fields to collect water from irrigation channels and stagnant ponds. Read previous appeal (here) The new pump has restored dignity, improved health, and relieved families from exhausting daily journeys for water. BACA is now appealing for support to build urgently needed washroom facilities for the
community. Growing Concern Over Missing Christian Man in Pakistan Sunil Masih, a 28-year-old Christian man from Sialkot, has been missing since 31st April 2026 after leaving home for an evening walk. Despite the family reporting his disappearance immediately, relatives say the police response has been slow and deeply disappointing. The distressed family has staged protests and appealed to Maryam
Nawaz Sharif and Ramesh Singh Arora for urgent intervention. The British Asian Christian Association is highlighting the case and supporting calls for action to help locate Sunil Masih. |
