A Pakistani businessman has big dreams for the 140-foot cross he’s building at the entrance of Karachi's largest Christian cemetery.

Parvez Henry Gill, 58, says the bulletproof concrete structure will be the tallest cross in Asia and a “sign" that God is everywhere.

His message is aimed at Pakistani Christians, who make up about 1.5 percent of the Muslim-majority country, although this figure could be higher. Gill's city, Karachi, is home to Pakistan's largest Christian population.
