Families in one of the most dangerous countries for Christians to live in.
Mr. “A” and family
For the past 5+ years, Dr. Michael and Kathleen Landrum of Readfield, Maine have been in direct contact with a family of believers in a country which is hostile to their Faith. This family lives and ministers on the “front lines” of Christian persecution. The man (dad) has endured many attacks (four severe, just in the last 5 years), yet he continues in solid faith, trusting God for everything he and his family need. He has a persevering wife and three small children. They are mightily used in his region to spread the Gospel message of hope and salvation, through personally visiting homes. Many people report having supernatural dreams and visions that encourage them to find this man whom we will call “Mr. A”.
Evangelical Christians make up less than 1% of the population and are severely marginalized. Often discrimination prevents regular or full-time employment, and family financial provision falls short. Christians must pay much higher prices for services and goods than those in the “majority religion.”
The cost of essentials is very high, especially electricity. The whole country is suffering from high inflation and Christians suffer the most. Mr. A and his family provide food for needy people, despite their own family’s personal need for financial assistance. Generous donations over the years, from many believers, have been directed to the specified outreach and needs of this family and for purchasing Bibles to the new believers. We have chosen to absorb all the administrative costs.
Mr. A walks, or uses a small, donated motorbike and rides buses to visit those who request for him to teach and share the gospel, visiting and instructing new believers, baptizing and ministering to those requesting prayer for healing. He provides a Bible for every 2-3 families, so they can share and fellowship together. He disciples individuals in their villages to lead others as well. The Bibles provided for his ministry are purchased from a Christian in another region of the country (none are permitted to be shipped from outside). Often these people are in abject poverty, barely surviving. Mr. A’s heart is broken for the new believers especially, because they are severely ostracized as soon as they convert and are baptized. The man and his family weep to see the people and their families starving. He often spends hours in prayer at night, when he could be sleeping, asking God for help for the people he ministers to. He will go to extreme ends to take them food and encourage them in their new Faith.
Mr. A. lives in constant danger; he and his family are often targets because of their open faith and ministry. Recently everything was taken from their house, stolen at gunpoint while he was taped hand and foot, and his wife and children were terrorized. Miraculously, they survived, with great faith.
We are thanking God that the two oldest children can go to school at a Christian school and Islamic Studies are not required as we understand it. School exams required for grade advancement require payment, and the expense of school supplies adds financial burden. Their two school-aged children have always placed in the top of their respective classes. On video, Kathy has been helping to teach them English for more than five years. Medical and Dental appointments for family members must be paid in advance. Due to the many attacks on Mr. A, injuries have caused chronic conditions, yet there has not been money for any extra medical care. We praise God, however, that he has experienced many miraculous healings, which we have witnessed.
Thank you for your consideration,

“Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the LORD delivers him; the LORD protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies. The LORD sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.” (Psalm 41:1-3)

Update #1
July 13th, 2025
Dear faithful people,
We have been moved by the response of those who have identified with and responded to the needs of those we have been ministering to in Pakistan.
Let us now tell you what we know of news from our friends there. Ten days ago, Arooj, the wife of our faithful evangelist, had to have a large abscess in her upper arm surgically attended to.
Since that time, she has had to see the doctor for dressing changes every day. She reports that in addition to you who have given so faithfully, the Christian people in her country have been giving enough to have sacrificially supplied $500. The daily dressing changes are $100.
Today, she had no money for another dressing change. Although we asked her, she did not know how many more dressing changes she would still need. She still has a large incisional wound, but its appearance on video today did not look infected.
The village of twelve families which had been recently settled in their own place and then had been uprooted for a month during the war with India, has been able to return and initiate a means of living by making bricks in a kiln on the land that was acquired through generous help from a donor here in the U.S. But we received word two days ago that there had been an attack on them by people who resisted their identity as new believers. Apparently, in that attack, a number of men had broken bones and a woman in her late pregnancy was “punched” in the abdomen, leaving her in much pain. They have no money to be seen in hospital. Hospital care requires up-front cash payments. We have no other more recent news about them, but are following the situation closely.
Prayer points:
1). That Arooj would heal quickly and without further complications at her arm, post-surgically.
Also, that the Lord would show her that He is faithful. She has had a challenge with trusting Him in all things.
2). That this village of faithful new believers would be visited by the Lord’s presence in healing and deep encouragement. They are very aware of your prayers, with much expressed gratitude.
