Christians Trapped in Debt Bondage

In Pakistan, millions of Christians are trapped in a brutal cycle of debt bondage, forced to work in dangerous brick factories to repay loans passed down through generations. One man, Aaron Hutchings, broke the cycle for two families—calling it like breaking a centuries-old curse. But this isn’t rare: up to a million Christians may be in similar situations. Emmanuel Hernandez, founder of Project Jubilee, is on a mission to free at least one family a year, having already rescued 300 people. His team doesn’t just cancel debts—they rebuild lives: handling legalities, providing shelter and food, connecting families with churches, enrolling kids in school, and even helping them start earning money. Yet, resistance from factory owners and weak enforcement of laws that outlawed this practice since 1992 persist. Beyond factories, Christians face widespread discrimination—landlords refuse to rent, attacks are rising, and systemic change is urgently needed, including banning child labor, improving justice access, and modernizing factories with automation.
