The first hearing in Pakistan’s Supreme Court on the appeal of Asia Bibi’s conviction for blasphemy and resulting death sentence will be held July 22, at 9 a.m. in Lahore – that is this evening for U.S. time. Asia has been on death row for more than six years since she was arrested.
Please PRAY fervently for Asia and her family, for her attorney, and for the three judges who will hear the case. May God grant justice for Asia Bibi, and may His name be glorified in this process.

UPDATE:
According to Voice of the Martyrs Facebook 7/22/2015:
GOOD NEWS for Asia Bibi: Yesterday, a three-member panel of judges suspended the decision of previous courts and stopped implementation of the death penalty. The next stop is complete review by the Supreme Court, and the court will make a decision on the case. A date for the new hearing has not yet been announced.
A VOM worker in Pakistan wrote, “By the grace of God, this is a big achievement… This is an answer to the prayers of people around the world.”
