ICV Welcomes Tabeeta Gill and family to Canada

It gives us great pleasure to welcome Tabeeta Gill, her husband and two sons to Canada this morning after arriving from Dubai where they had sought sanctuary. Accused of blasphemy, Tabeeta’s unfortunate incident in Pakistan made international headlines in 2021.

Team members from International Christian Voice and representatives from other communities were present at Toronto International Airport to welcome the family to Canada.

Tabeeta and her husband, Sohail were so overjoyed to be on Canadian soil, that upon arrival at the airport lounge they knelt and kissed the ground. Their sons, Shaloom 15 and Elisha 14 were remarkably alert and energetic after their fourteen-hour flight and were eager to learn more about their new country.  They wasted no time in exploring their new home and the park behind their house.

It was the start of their new lives of freedom in Canada.  Please pray for their quick and successful integration into our great country.
