KOT RADHA KISHAN, Pakistan: Salmon Masih, a Christian father of four from Kechad Colony, Kot Radha Kishan, has been missing since Saturday, 7 March. He left home for work at 9 a.m. but never returned, leaving his family in deep fear and anguish. His wife has made a heartfelt appeal for his safe return, saying they do not know whether he was kidnapped or what has happened to him.

Pastor Imran Amanat, leader of LEAD Ministries, has called on both the local and international Body of Christ to lift the Masih family in prayer. “This family’s suffering is heartbreaking, and sadly, it reflects the harsh reality faced by many Christians across Pakistan, who live under constant threat, social marginalization, and violence,” he said.

LEAD Ministries documents persecution and violence against Christians in Pakistan and advocates for religious freedom, pastoral care, and community support. While the organization does not have financial resources to directly aid victims, it continues its work in church planting, women’s empowerment, and advocacy for vulnerable communities.

The disappearance of Salmon Masih highlights the ongoing vulnerability of Christians in Pakistan. Many face harassment, discrimination, and targeted attacks, often with little access to justice or protection. Pastor Amanat emphasized, “We ask believers everywhere—both here in Pakistan and across the world—to pray fervently for Salmon Masih, support his family in solidarity, and help raise awareness of the challenges faced by our persecuted brothers and sisters.”

Authorities have registered a formal missing person case (FIR), and the family continues to appeal for assistance from local authorities and the community. LEAD Ministries urges support for its ongoing work in Pakistan, including advocacy, pastoral care, church planting, and programs that empower women and protect vulnerable communities.

Salmon Masih’s family remains in deep anxiety, hoping and praying for his safe return, while the global Church is being called to unite in prayer, compassion, and action for their protection and relief.
