Parvez Henry Gill was sleeping when—as the article says—"God crashed into one of his dreams and gave him a job."

Gill says the Lord asked him to help the extremely persecuted minority of Christians in Pakistan, and specifically he says God told him: "I want you to do something different."

There were restless nights and much prayer that followed, as Gill sought direction from the Lord, until one morning he knew what he would do.

"I said, ‘I am going to build a big cross, higher than any in the world, in a Muslim country,'" Gill explained in the WP report. "It will be a symbol of God, and everybody who sees this will be worry-free."

If it's one thing Gill's family has been known for in Pakistan, it's benevolent generosity. Over time Parvez Gill and his family have reportedly helped "thousands of poor children pay for education" and they've covered "the costs of more than 100 eye operations for the blind."

And now Parvez Gill is building the biggest cross in Asia, at the entrance to Karachi, Pakistan's largest Christian cemetery.

As one can imagine, it's not been an easy endeavor—especially where the population is over 90 percent Muslim.

When construction began, Gill says he didn't tell his workers what they were building, however, when the form of a cross became apparent, about 20 of the Muslim workers walked away from the project, said the WP report.

But Gill is quick to point out that today, Muslims and Christians are working together, to complete the enormous symbol of encouragement and hope.

"Henry has supported me well over the years, helping with the birth of my [seven] children, with medicine, their education" explained Mohammad Ali to the Washington Post. "So I don't need a daily wage."

While friends of Gill worry about his protection from those who might wish him harm because of the cross, Gill notes he's trusting God, siting Psalm 91.

Oh, and for those who might want to bring that cross down… did I mention it's "bulletproof?"

Gill says, "Tons and tons of steel, iron and cement." He pointed out to the WP that its base extends 20-feet underground. "If anyone tries to hit this cross, they will not succeed."

The 58-year-old businessman said he would like to hold a large celebration once the cross is fully completed; and would like to invite Pope Francis, Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif and Queen Elizabeth II among others.
