Russia can help orthodox mission in Pak by sending missionaries

Moscow, Sep 8 (UNI) Russia can help the Christian Orthodox mission in Pakistan by sending missionaries and asking the country's government to protect Christians from extremist attacks, Joseph Farooq, the sole priest of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) in Pakistan, told Sputnik.
"The Russians can help us by sending missionaries to Pakistan and supporting us financially. At the government level, they can speak to the Pakistani authorities and ask them to protect and help Christians in Pakistan," Farooq said. "Our government has land, so they can provide it to the Orthodox community to build an Orthodox church there."
ROCOR started a mission in Pakistan in 2011, and Farooq is its only priest, serving the entire country in addition to the Moscow Patriarchate clergy being present there separately as well. The mission consists of four stations in different regions of Pakistan, necessitating Farooq to travel frequently to serve the believers there.
