* SORRY ABOUT THE NON-CAPITALIZATION OF JESUS. THIS WON’T CAPITALIZE THE NAME WHEN IT IS A HEADLINE

At an event sponsored by World Quest , in the city of Lohore, Pakistan, 45,000 people gathered on one day to hear about and praise Christ.  A govt. mandate against gatherings of 4 or more people and threats by Al Qaeda did not keep people from attending.  Within a period of 7 days, 200,000 people attended and 152,000 gave their lives to Jesus Christ.  Only 1% of Pakistan is Christian.
