Aruf Masih Family

The Aruf Masih family has been held at a brick kiln in Pakistan for more than thirty years. Aruf is 51. Samina, his wife, is 40. Their children are Rabeel, 15, Samreen, 13, Raheel, 10, and Minahel, who is 3. They are not allowed to leave.

The debt began with a medical bill. Aruf is still sick with a stomach illness. When Samina was pregnant, she needed a C-section. They borrowed from the kiln owner to pay for the care, and the wages never caught the interest. So the children work the same ground as their parents. The kiln is the only life Minahel has known.

$755 pays that debt in full and sets the whole family free. We line up housing, food, and a new job where they keep all the money they earn. The owner signs papers, and we document it, so their freedom is on record.

Jesus calls his people to be generous. He said that what we do for someone the world overlooks, we have done for him. A gift toward this $755 is how these six people walk out.
