Earlier this month Asia Bibi’s husband, Ashiq, was able to visit her in jail. At the time of his visit Asia was sick and receiving treatment from the jail doctor. She complained of a lot of pain in her legs, shoulders and arms.
Ashiq told Asia, “Take good care for your health and recover soon. The children are worried for you. They are daily praying for your good health and soon release.”
Asia said she is regularly praying in jail for her release and requested VOM readers to pray with her.
Several days after Ashiq’s visit to the prison, Asia was transferred from Sheikhupura jail to Multan jail. This change means that, in order for her family to visit her, they will have to travel around five hours instead of only one hour. The extra travel also raises security concerns for the family.
Asia’s daughters in particular were discouraged by the news of their mother’s transfer.
Please pray for Asia Bibi. Pray for healing on her body, encouragement to her spirit and for her release from prison. Pray also for Ashiq and their daughters.
You can write letters of encouragement to Asia through Prisoner Alert. The site has been updated with her new prison address. Invite your friends to sign a petition to the Pakistani government on her behalf at www.CallForMercy.com.
I pray that you would be encouraged and remember when others to were bound in prison started thanking and praising God then, all the doors opened up for them. I must believe that your doors to will open and you will return to your family... May the Spirit of God rest on you and be with you. May you feel His very presence in the room with you... May Jesus be lifted up!!!!!!

We sincerely pray for her health,mental strength and to give her strong internal strength to pass these though days quickly. These bad days are just passing clouds. We also pray the almighty to give better sense to the Pakistanis and spare this poor woman, human life is more precious than any religion.

I've been praying for Asia and her family for some time now. I appreciate the update, even though it's not the news of her release. May the Lord give her and her family all that she needs physically and spiritually as she endures for the name of Jesus Christ.

I'm praying and believing God for this woman's release and that she will be reunited with her family. In Jesus name.

We have prayed much for Asia Bibi since we heard of her imprisonment. My prayer today is that this move to another prison will work out for her good. What man plans for bad God can work for good. What God did for Joseph he can do for Asia. We pray God will touch and heal her body too.
