Today we are rejoicing that our Call for Mercy petition for Asia Bibi has just topped 600,000 signatures!

Imagine being one of only three Christian families in a village of 1500 families. Now imagine you were having a conversation about faith and you shared about your love for Jesus Christ, with the Muslims you were working with. Next, imagine that your Muslim coworkers were insisting that you recant your faith in Jesus Christ and become a follower of Allah. Imagine that you were beaten and then mocked and ridiculed publically so that all of the community would know you follow Jesus Christ. Finally, imagine that you were arrested for blasphemy, put in jail, and had a death sentence hanging over your head.

Pakistan (MNN) ? After hundreds of thousands of signatures, Voice of the Martyrs is still calling for more to speak up on behalf of believer Asia Bibi.

Last year we started a very important campaign called A Call for Mercy, which is a petition that is designed to help bring awareness and support for Asia Bibi who is currently spending time in jail for blasphemy and awaiting a pending death sentence.
