Chakar is a young Baloch man from Pakistan, His people had suffered deeply because of conflict and civil unrest. Across Baluchistan, nearly four million people struggled daily for survival. Many families had lost their homes after military operations destroyed entire villages, leaving them without shelter, security, or hope for the future.

When we first met Chakar and his community, we told them, “We are your friends, not your enemies. We have come because we care for you and want to help.” They welcomed us warmly despite their pain and hardship. During our visit, we left nearly one hundred Audio Bibles with the families and encouraged them to listen carefully and ask questions about what they heard.

Chakar listened with great interest. He shared how tired many young people were of violence, fear, and carrying guns. He dreamed of a different future for his tribe, a future filled with peace, purpose, and hope. Together, we began discussing plans to start a skill-training center where young men and women could learn practical trades and build new lives instead of remaining trapped in conflict.

As Chakar heard about Jesus, the Prince of Peace, his heart became open. He learned how to pray to God in Jesus’ name and spoke with excitement about sharing this message with the elders of his tribe. Before we left, he asked eagerly when we would return and when the training center would be ready. He assured us that he wanted his people to hear about Christ and discover a new path forward.

Today, millions among the Baloch people are still waiting to hear the message of hope. Please pray for the Baloch people, for open hearts, for protection, and for peace to spread among the tribes. Pray for more Audio Bibles, for missionaries willing to serve, and for resources to help reach those who long to leave behind violence and follow Christ.
