About Bricks Kilns.
Introduction
Kilns are the place where bricks are prepared. Different kinds of laborer are hired for the kilns (bhattis). work. There are mostly two types of kiln work.
1. In one part clay is formed into bricks. It is then shaped into a mold. Most of the laborers hired for this hard labor are Christians. Christians are one of the poorest communities in Pakistan. A large percentage of Christians are involved in this work. They work very long hours in the sun at temperatures exceeding 40C or 104F. Their daily labor results in an average pay of 50-75 cents per day.
2, The second part is where the bricks loaded by hand and carried to be baked in high temperature kilns.
Child Labor
Child labor is a major issue for some Pakistani industries, and brick kilns are a good example of that. Christian Children as young as 5 years old can be found employed at these factories. The income of the household, not being enough to feed the entire family, means that many children, who should be in school playing with other children their age, instead must go to the local brick factories and work long hours. They work all day, and sometimes into the night - for barely enough money to feed themselves and their siblings at home. It should be no surprise that young girls working at these factories are especially vulnerable, as incidents of abuse have sometimes become known. These children are our future and we are burning their future away with the coal in the firing kilns.
Affects of Bricks Kilns
Coal is often used to burn the bricks in the kilns and the heavy smoke contains soot (fine carbon particulates) that penetrate deep inside the lungs and can cause severe asthma, congestion, chronic lung diseases and even cancer. As with other hazards, the young children are particularly vulnerable to sickness, disease, and mortality.
How much the children are paid for Brick Kiln work?
Children are paid1 rupee per brick, but only if these unbaked bricks are finished by being baked in the kilns. Because many times when rain comes it destroys their unbaked bricks and then they are not paid for all of their labor.
The adults earn 65 to 80rupees per day which is equal to one dollar or less per day. With these meager earnings they can hardly eat two times per day and are unable to enjoy the basic needs of life. The fact is that they live a life suffering like unto slavery.
Why are mostly poor Christian people compelled to work in Brick kilns ?
The owner of bricks kilns give loans to the poor Christian people and then they are entrapped and are never able to pay back the loan. This being the case they have to work for their whole life along with their children in a vain attempt to repay the loan. It is most often a form of entrapment and forced labor.You can help change this situation by giving at this link www.m300ministries.org/giving
What can you do for these poor Christian Kiln workers?
1. Please pray that the Lord will open the doors for these people to be enabled to pay their loans back and gain freedom from the loans and oppression as well as giving freedom to the upcoming Christian generation as well
2. Please pray that after the Lord opens the door for them to escape this kind of bondage that he will provide a way for them to start their own business or get other jobs where they can support their families and provide hope for the next generation.
3. Please pray that the children will be able to go to school. The children need schooling so our coming Christian generation can read and understand the word of God and be saved.
4. Please pray that the Lord opens the door for a school in Kasur to provide schooling for these children. We are already operating one open air school, but it is without building, furniture and other basic needs. Please pray that Lord open doors so that we could help to educate all of the bricks klin children free of cost.
5. Please pray for more resourses so that we can keep feeding the Bricks kiln workers spiritually and physically.
6. Please pray that the Lord will provide to us our own ministry transportation so that we can reach every corner of Pakistan to preach the Gospel to people like these.

Pakistan means, "Land of the Pure" or "The Holy Land".
Formed in 1947 as a homeland for the Muslims of the Indian sub-continent, its primary identity is religious rather than ethnic or historical. The largest single ethnic group are the Punjabis (80 million) from the rich agricultural province of Punjab, but the Pushtun, Baluch and Sindhi communities are also significant in size and influence. Urdu, the national language, is the mother tongue of only a minority of peoples within the nation.
This diversity is at the root of growing tensions within Pakistan and in recent years it has resulted in rising levels of both ethnic and sectarian (especially Sunni vs. Shia) violence. The inability of the various groups to live together in peace under the banner of Islam has caused many to question the ideological basis of the country. This was especially seen in the subdued way in which people commemorated 50 years of independence in 1997.
Bondages in Pakistan
The dissatisfaction with what Pakistan has become; e.g. rampant corruption, drug addiction and violence in "the land of the pure", has opened the door for Islamic fundamentalists to offer their solution to the social problems through an Islamic revolution. This has tended to make the already beleaguered Christian minority even more apprehensive. Yet despite of the growing influence of fundamentalism, Pakistanis today, especially the educated, are more open to consider other options than at any time since the formation of the country.
Under the surface of official Islam there lies a world of bondage to charms, spirits and the "evil eye".
Pakistan
Pray for the Muslims in Pakistan:
* Pray that the growing undercurrents of dissatisfaction will not erupt into widespread violence but open their hearts to new options, especially the Gospel.
* Pray for the Pakistani church, historically small, weak and divided, to be renewed and set on fire with a vision for ministry to their neighbours. Pray for literature and other resources to be produced in the heart languages of the people.
* Pray that the power of folk-Islam, including the power of charms, curses and amulets, would be broken and that people would be free to respond to the Gospel.
Background on Pakistan (World Factbook)
The separation in 1947 of British India into the Muslim state of Pakistan (with two sections West and East) and largely Hindu India was never satisfactorily resolved, and India and Pakistan fought two wars - in and 1965 - over the disputed Kashmir territory. A third war between these countries in 1971 - in which India capitalized on Islamabad's marginalization of Bengalis in Pakistani politics - resulted in East Pakistan becoming the separate nation of Bangladesh. In response to Indian nuclear weapons testing, Pakistan conducted its own tests in 1998. The dispute over the state of Kashmir is ongoing, but discussions and confidence-building measures have led to decreased tensions since 2002.
Economy of Pakistan
Pakistan, an impoverished and underdeveloped country, has suffered from decades of internal political disputes, low levels of foreign investment, and a costly, ongoing confrontation with neighboring India. However, IMF-approved government policies, bolstered by generous foreign assistance and renewed access to global markets since 2001, have generated solid macroeconomic recovery the last five years. Inflation remains the biggest threat to the economy.

M300 Ministries would like to add to these thoughts the perspective that many believe revival will take place first in S.E. Asia and Africa. The ethnic ministers who partner with M300 Ministries to minister in Islamic dominated countries are Valiant Warriors who are increasingly expressing the view that signs of a Christian revival are increasingly evident. Please commit to pray for those who minister in these hard places.

Thanks indeed alot for your teaching letter of the names of Our God, I'm so pleased ............praise the Lord.

Glorious divine love greetings in His Perpetual mighyt power
Just words are limited on how to express my gratitudes for yours recieved.
Hallelujah ! May God pour out so much blessings upon you! and your congregational family that you will have no room for it all.
for the requited love I have no suitable language that I will use to convey expressibly my blissful happiness from the bottom (depths) circle of my elevating heart to you in highest dimension. I have just received your exquisitely letter at the appropriate time and assuredly it worthy estimable of flood of thanks. It has boosted or fillipped my faith exceedingly and invigorated me spiritually.
What gets my most attention and focus is that “I value the business of reaching out to people who are unrepentant or more lost souls , as per your letter( response)was indeed touching, I covet to look forth for your assistance of teaching materials, Bibles, andothernecessary spiritual books which will realign more peoplefrombeliefs ofheretical false teachings which has gone round and invaded and dominated a reasonable portion of the areas e.g. catholics, mammons and other unspiritual occults which teaches against the true gospel of salvation for the kingdom of heaven.
I love this verse – “But you be strong and do not let your hands be weak and your work shall be rewarded 2 chronicle 15:7
-majorly and vital prayer is to request you to to come physical to teach us. If our God opens His glorious doors and windows for you soon. This will be our everyday prayers. God bless you abundantly.
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Romans 10:15
After much praying and listening to the Lord, as you may know, I am trying to travel to Haiti to be in assistance to the Haitian children who are less fortunate and ravaged in poverty. As we here in America are feeling the effects of a diminished economy, the people of Haiti are forced to see it as well. From rising food prices to fewer contributions, the trickle down effect is hard not to notice. This has placed greater burdens on the orphanage and the missionary families we support there, yet their hope is secure and their faith is strengthened. We can learn so much from these people when we, like them, become dependant on God's provision. I feel that I have been called to perform the works of the Lord, and to allow His love to amongst these children of God.
My trip to Haiti will take place in Port Au Prince, Haiti from July 2 through July 13, 2009 to help with the second "Camp in a Box" program founded by the Child Hope International program (http://www.childhope.org/). We started this last year and as I heard from those who those who went, heard the stories, and saw pictures, found that this was very impactful in the lives of the children of Maison de Lumiere (House of Light), the orphanage we will be ministering to. They have been able to experience the joy of going outside of the orphanage where they were challenged both mentally and physically to handle the life on the Haitian streets and endure starvation and hardships I could not even imagine. Like most camps here in America, they wanted to give the kids a chance to spend time together in an environment that made them forget about the burdens of daily life and to just be a kid. Everyday was filled with competitive games, vocational training, worship, and great times of fellowship together. They shared so much in that 10 days that everyone involved now feels like family - something most of these kids didn't have a positive view of. Hearts were changed (us "blancs" especially), and friendships were strengthened. Through this all, lives were changed and hurts are being mended.
One of my main goals when I am there is to produce a documentary, take photos and video, and reveal how God works in the smallest of ways, and how the children in this orphanage with their small Creole bibles, work to spread the love of Christ and good news to the poor villages around them. I want to make known how the love of Christ calls us to go out of our comfort zone, to place ourselves out of the ordinary and perform the extraordinary work of Chris’s love. The fact that we are all surely blessed beyond measure with the ability to breathe, see, hear, touch, taste, feel, have two legs that function, hands that can hold another, a voice that can change the future, a mind that can comprehend the wonders of the day, should give us a reason to not just live, but feel alive. The documentary I long to produce will encompass this truth, as these Haitian children share their hopes and dreams, and expose these eternal joys of being alive- that it is not in wealth that makes one happy, it is the joy of the Lord, and it is the fact that we truly are blessed beyond measure.
Of course my prayer is that I can count on your support so I will be able to change these children’s lives once more, and allow me to create a documentary that will be divulged to others to formulate awareness for these children’s needs. The trip is Approximately 1,600 dollars, which will include plane fares, sleeping accommodations, food, products for the orphanage, and luggage costs (bringing two suitcases full of clothes, shoes, pots and pans, non perishable food items, etc. for the orphanage and various villages around the city). My prayer for you is that you will help to support the kids and this Haitian community through your generosity. I know that we are in difficult economic times right now but I would encourage you to consider the children I speak of. Even that, I completely understand if you cannot support me and my group financially this year and would encourage your support through prayer, or by helping with some of the logistics on this end. Whatever you give, know that it will go a long way in helping us feed and bring joy to these starving and impoverished children. Every penny is a blessing, and will touch the lives of many.
If you are able to support me financially, please make your check payable to Mission Viejo Christian Church and on the memo line write “Kayla- Haiti Trip.” Be assured that every cent given goes directly to the cause you indicate and is tax deductible.

I pray that you will be moved to help once and that your faithfulness will be a testimony for the whole world to hear.
The following mentioned prayer request are specifically related to the partnering and planning of Alpha and Omega Ministries of Pakistan and M300 Ministries (USA). Know that as Christians we feel a great burden for Pakistan and its people. Please pray for the followings prayer concerns seeking discernment and to determine if the Lord will also burden your heart with concern for the Christian minority and the people of Pakistan.
1. Please pray for Christian church planting in all over Pakistan.
Pray that the word of God may reach to those areas where it has not reached thus far.
2. Pray for plans to establish the first English Bible College in Pakistan.
Students will be provided English Biblical training and English teaching.
We invite you to consider partnering to help establish the first English Bible college in Pakistan and also we would appreciate visiting professors, teachers and guest for this college as well.
3. Catch The Wave School of Skills and Art.
The purpose of this school is to offer free skills and Art training programs to widows, poor, orphan and needy people of Pakistan and to help enable them to stand up in Christ and become self-sufficient. We are praying to God that He enable us to start this school in the Month of March, 2010.
4. Pakistan Christian News Service
We seek to counter the dominant Islamic propaganda against Pakistani Christians and to provide the people with a number of Christian programs and activities including sermons and teaching.
We want a strong start and continued viable support for the “Pakistan Christian News Service" and your prayers and support can make it possible.
5. School
We are partnering to operate one open air Christian school in the village of Kasur. In Kasur there is no proper educational school for Christian children because there are mostly Madrasas which are operated by Muslims.
In order to bring to Pakistan a dynamic Christian way of life and to stand firm in Christ in Pakistan, it is very important to provide children with education including Christian education.
Please pray that the Lord will open the doors for a formal Christian school to be established including the need for land, a building and other things including staff and teachers as well
6. Ongoing monthly help for Orphan and Disabled Children.
Please pray for the monthly help that we give to orphans and disabled children of Pakistan.
7. Outreach evangelism, crusades ,seminars and conferences.
In all that we do our main mission is to expand the kingdom of God. The timing is especially right to do this in Pakistan, at the Lord's leading.
Please pray for a van and operational funding so that our teams can go to every corner of Pakistan sharing the Gospel and helping the needy.
Please pray that we can keep arranging crusades ,conferences and seminars sharing "Who is the Chirst?" and that these will make a difference in Pakistan.
8. Open invitation for Pastors, evangelists, teachers and preachers.
We extend an open invitation to Pastors, evangelists, teachers and preachers to come and share the word of God and win many souls for Christ in Pakistan.
We can humbly provide free accommodations and food for at least 2 valiant ministers who are led to come and preach in Pakistan.
9. Preach the word of God through translating your Books.
Pakistani people have very few resources for Biblical research work and very few Biblical books indeed.
We invite you to please send your Christian books, lessons and materials for translation so that the people in Pakistan can be equipped with Christian learning experiences that they do not currently have.
If you are a writer who produces your own Christian literature in the English language, we can translate it to Punjabi or Urdu so that it can be shared in Pakistan.
The translators reserve complete discretionary decision making on which materials to translate and share.
Please also include a note authorizing the free translation and distribution of materials that you submit for translation.
Please do not submit materials that are copyrighted by others.
10. Cutting edge use of technology as a force multiplier in missions and ministry.
Pray for the development of cutting edge technology and methods that will promote a new way of staying in contact with sponsored orphans and widows worldwide.
Thank you very much for your hard worked for my ministry, I am already blessed and encouraged through your hard work. I believe Lord will bless us in someday through His anoint people.
I am so proud of you such as a great friend who is really really love us and our ministry. I am already sharing your update of my ministry with all of my friends.
Thank you once again for your kind hard work and prayer support. I believe that God must provide our all needs in ministry.
Please continue keep us in your prayer and try to do the best for our ministry side.
I believe Lord will bless you also.
Please convey Greetings to your family and friends on behalf of my family and the ministry here.
I will let you know more about my ministry update.

I am sorry that at night, I could not talk with you any longer as the lights went out.
I just gave a thanksgiving prayer today regarding the child (Emmanuel) and I am still amazed how the Lord hears prayers and answers quickly to his believers.
I am also praying for the Korean church, it's member family who gave and for others who have also agreed to help Emmanuel get his surgery in Pakistan.
Alpha & Omega Ministries of Pakistan and M300 Ministries are partnering to fulfill James 1:27
Pastor Nadeem of Pakistan received an urgent request from the village of Marla, District Kasur. A small child named Emmanuel Maqsood requires surgery. Emmanuel is 4 years old and his father Maqsood is a Kline worker and they are a very, very poor family. The child needs to be operated on urgently. The required amount for his operation is $400. Pastor Nadeem says, "So I make humbly this request that whoever feels a burden for this child can donate for his operation.The parents asked me for help but I have no means, so we committed to pray that the Lord prepare someone. I shared with them how we partner with M300 Ministries and assured them that the request would be delivered. Now the rest of things are up to God." Picture below is Emmanuel's upper thigh.

NEWSLETTER FOR FRIENDS OF PREDISAN
SPRING 2009
Dear Friends of Mission Predisan,
What an amazing spring this has been, and what an exciting time personally for Predisan's staff and leaders!
In mid-April, Doris and Amanda, left, were honored by Mission Resource Network (MRN) in Dallas with the 2009 Crystal Globe Award for missions.
More than thirty Predisan board members and friends heard both Doris and Amanda speak eloquently about their roles as servants in Honduras. Martha was introduced to the receptive crowd of more than 500.
And, only days before, Marcos Madrid, Amanda's son, was married to lovely Rebecca Folger at the home of Predisan friends Terry and Joni Stokes. This gifted couple, recent Oklahoma Christian graduates, are packing for Honduras where Marcos will develop his mahogany business. Rebecca will be increasing her Spanish skills, and all say she's a quick study!
Meanwhile in Catacamas, Kyle and Bety are watching darling baby Mia grow day by day. And a special blessing this spring was the baptism of Keydy Flores, longtime Predisan staff member. See more on Keydy's baptism, and photos of Mia, the wedding, the MRN dinner, and our staff at work below.
Many exciting things are happening with our work in Catacamas and the mountains, but we wanted to tell you about these great events in the lives of the Predisan family! Our deepest thanks for your much-needed, so generous help, which blesses the people of Honduras every day.

DISCLAIMER: M300 Ministries seeks to lift up Jesus Christ by providing a wealth of information, contacts and opportunities for people to learn about Christ, Christianity, the Gospel, Christian ministry and Christian missions. At M300 Ministries we encourage connecting, learning, growing and deploying Christians into greater service and ministry. Our goal is to help better equip Christian workers to proclaim the Gospel and make disciples who earnestly desire to worship God in spirit and in truth. One way that we do this is by finding ways to relate to and engage each other autonomously while seeking to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and serve those in need. Published information is derived from a variety of Christian ministry sources. M300 Ministries website content is either submitted as original works from authors or are reprinted by permission. The opinions expressed are those of the original sources and are given for informational purposes only, and in some cases may not agree with the doctrinal positions of M300 Ministries, our staff, or our board of directors.
