Modern-Day Slavery in Our Backyard – A Call to the Church
Today I visited a brick kiln in Pensra, Faisalabad, and what I witnessed was heartbreaking. Our Christian brothers and sisters are living in slavery—not just for days or months, but for decades. Entire families are trapped in bonded labour, sold into generational captivity for as little as $800 to $1,000.
I met a family who has been enslaved for over 25 years, bound by a debt of just $890. This is not just poverty. This is oppression. This is injustice. And it is happening in our land, to our people.
Like Israel in Egypt, they cry out for deliverance.
“I have surely seen the affliction of My people... I know their sufferings” (Exodus 3:7).
Church, this is our moment. We cannot be silent. We must be the voice of the voiceless, echoing the cry of the oppressed and standing for justice in Jesus’ name.
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves... defend the rights of the poor and needy.” – Proverbs 31:8-9
Let the church rise. Let justice roll.
