Umair, leading a prayer meeting in a brick factory in village of Bakhtopura (October 2018)
In this photo, Umair leads prayer for a group of people in a brick factory in the village of Bakhtopura in Punjab state. Umair said there are many people here, up to seven families and many children. according to Umair, these brick factories are common in many villages around Gojra. It is common that these people have large loans to the owner of the factory, becoming like slaves. These people live at the factory and make houses there.According to Umair, they can't leave the factory under penalty of arrest or maybe even death.
May the Lord bless those who bless His people, such as these people in this brick factory, and curse those who curse them per Genesis 12:3 in Jesus' name. Amen.
Street sweeper work in Gojra (Circa Summer 2018)
Per Umair, these men are street sweepers in Gojra (the city he lives) in Punjab state, Pakistan. Umair said he worked with Samson (man holding the rope).
This job is very dangerous, per Umair, due to the methane and other types of gas in the water. The street sweeper dive down into the water to remove obstructions in the sewer line.
In Pakistan, Christians are often forced to do dirty, menial jobs like this due to pervasive antichrist discrimination by Muslims.
