Pastor Shahid Kaleem is founder and chairman of Christian Literature & Translation Ministry in Pakistan. He’s been engaged in Bible tract and Bible distribution ministry in Pakistan.
World tensions are running high over what is happening in the Middle East. Earlier this week Vice President J.D. Vance was engaged in talks to work out an agreement with Iran. Present were representatives of the United States and Iran, but also Qatar and Pakistan.
Pakistan is an Islamic Republic, the fifth most populous country in the world, with approximately 260 million people. They are seeking to transform this region through this agreement, yet Islam has no tolerance for Christianity. Christians are often targeted for their faith, even if it means bringing false charges against them.
Pastor Kaleem returned to Crosstalk to open our eyes to what is happening in this region. For example, what is Pakistan’s relationship with Iran? How do Pakistan’s Shia Muslims treat Christians? What about the blasphemy laws targeting Christianity? Most importantly, there’s the vital need to get the gospel out to a spiritually needy nation.
Callers added their thoughts to round out the broadcast.
