The Muslims cut off both legs and left him for dead lets pray Articles / In The News Date: Jul 11, 2004 - 01:42 PM The celebrations were dampened by the large Muslim crowds that had been gathering out side the church. The local Muslim Clerics had worked their congregations into a frenzy. What had made them so up set? What had made them so mad? Bishop Daniel Rehmat was back. He had been warned not to come back. You see he had started over 200 church. He has almost 25,000 Christians Converts leaving Islam and following Jesus in Pakistan. For almost 27 years now they had threatened and beaten and cursed Pastor Daniel and his family and his church. But nothing they could do would stop the Love the Lord placed in Pastor Daniel. Even his children picked up the mantel and started preaching the gospel the good news to the rest of Pakistan. Thousands were being touched by the Lord every year. The Muslims did not know how to stop such love. They had tried beating him. They tried having him arrested. They tried threatening his life and the life of his children. Over 200 times they came and said that if he did not stop they would kill him and his family. Then it came they stormed the little church. They had done this before. They took PaPa away. The mob just came into the church screaming and yelling about devils, dogs and infidels and took Pastor Daniel Rehmat. They pushed back the men of the church and arrested him. What kind of beating would he get this time. What kind of punishment would he get for preaching the Love of Jesus Christ. Almost no one could find out where they were taking him. Something was different. They did not take him to a police station this time but a back room. They told him never to talk to anyone about Jesus ever again. When he said he could not comply they beat him some more. Then it happened. The started to read from the Koran. They started to scream. Then they took out a large sword and held Pastor Daniel down. They started screaming about Allah and then said they were going to cut off his legs, both of them, that way he could not get around enough to preach about Jesus. The pain was beyond any imagination. After they cut off His legs just below the knees, they slit his wrists and threw him out into the street like garbage. They left him for dead. I asked Bishop Daniel if it was worth it. He said Yes. I asked him if he would do it again. He said Yes. I asked him why. He looked up at me with a little smile on his face and said: "I will get two new legs in heaven." But a soul I can not replace. I am bringing him back to Parkland you must hear him preach it is wonderful. Also next week July 12th - 16th I have mighty men and woman of God who have seen the great and mighty things of God. They are the mighty generals of the Lord. They will be sharing all week. Please try and come of listen in on the internet at 8:00pm Pacific Daylight Time. That is 11:00pm east coast time.

As a result of his dedicated labor and the faithful work of many people, the Church of God has a voice in almost every city in Pakistan! More than 25,000 people attend these churches.
