Pakistan

Partnering and equipping

We have been working with a local church movement, Gospel of the Kingdom Ministries (GKCM) in Pakistan since 2011 and David has visited the country six times to minister in churches, camps, homes and open air prayer festivals (crusades). In our focus town of Jaranwala, the number of churches grew from merely 2 in 1998 to 60 in 2024. According to our local partner there, Pastor Shukoor, GKCM had a large impact on the growth of the church in that region as people experienced the power of God in crusades and because we introduced the pastors to the ministries of healing and deliverance.

Background

Pakistan is ranked one of the worst countries in the world in most international studies: from corruption, to Islamic terrorism and persecution of Christians or violence against women. The nation was founded to put an end to the violent disputes between Indian Hindus and Muslims at the time of Indian independence. But to this day, it struggles with a particular cocktail of toxic problems. For decades America poured billions of dollars in to support the Pakistani government in the battle against radical Islam, only to find Bin Laden happily living under the noses of the Pakistani military. Meanwhile the war in Afghanistan created huge problems in the border regions.

So what does this show? Well it ain’t rocket science! If you have a nation that is 97% Muslim, don’t invest in their army! Invest in those who preach the gospel. Only the Gospel of Jesus Christ can bring hope in such situations. Only Jesus gives a formula for breaking out of the cycle of revenge and retaliation. Islam requires that you kill someone who turns away from the Muslim religion. But Jesus says love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

I was back in Pakistan for the sixth time in 2022. The trip was intense with an explosion in our hotel compound but power of God was also present to heal and many were touched and empowered.
