Three Christian families in Pakistan have been freed from modern-day slavery, thanks to one Argentine missionary priest and a young layman who paid for their release. Father Rico, a priest with the Order of St. Elias in Argentina, and a layperson named Diego traveled to Pakistan “with the sole purpose of freeing Christian slaves.” They have freed 110 Christians so far this year. Last year, they freed 200 people. Father Rico calls this initiative PaX, meaning both “peace” and “Pakistan Christendom.” His mission is to rescue Christians living in bondage.
