I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 2 Tim. 4:1-2
Dear Friends and Family,
We hope and pray that you all are fine. We are also doing good by the grace of God. I am sorry that I could not write an update for you for some time. The rainy season has just ended. There was much flooding and problems because of that in our country as usual, but things are getting normal now. Our family, team members and church members are doing good, and they all greet you.
Equipping the New Generation
It has always been our priority to share the good news of salvation through the Shed blood of Christ with our new generation. This year we were able to start a proper learning system for
the young men and women, and it has been really very helpful for all the students, and we see it to be very fruitful. We are having a weekly study on Christian Apologetics, and we see more and more young men and women interested to join in. Next year we are going to start an official “Certificate Program” at our training center, where we will train these people to know their Christian belief system and be able to defend what they believe. Please keep this in your special prayers.
Women Ministry
This is one of the very important ministries of our church, through this ministry we are serving at different places. My wife Farah is leading this ministry. She goes to teach these women during their Bible study sessions. She also helps them in their problems through Biblical Counselling sessions.
Young women are not only learning Sewing and knitting, but at the same time they are fed spiritually on the Word of God, they are encouraged and equipped to grow as true Christians, and thus lead healthy Christian families.
Study Session in Europe
I got chance a month before to go to France and study on Christian Apologetics in the Academy of Dr. J. W. Montgomery. It was very refreshing and really wonderful experience of learning myself in order to be a better teacher and pastor in our church. I am really thankful to God that I could get this chance to participate in this annual study session there. This all study is helping me and our team to teach more effectively.
Our new generation has great tendency to accept different kinds of new philosophies and accept many evolutionary ideas. We are helping our team to be well equipped to train the new generation defend their faith against all of these new philosophies and challenges they face.
Desert Mission Project
We praise God that our desert mission project is going well, our team members there are very much devoted, and they are reaching more and more people every day to share the Word of God with them. They are discipling many groups and reaching new groups always providing people with the copies of Bibles and sound biblical teaching.
Online Bible classes
Our online Bible classes in Bahawalpur and in some other cities are also going well. People are travelling from different parts of the city to join in those classes. We praise God for technology and for this opportunity to teach people from a distant place. This really gives us much joy and encouragement in the mission to see how the Word of God is changing lives in different areas.
Please continue to pray for these groups to keep learning and growing spiritually.
Brick Makers and Village Ministry
One of very important and amazing ministry of church is reaching and teaching people in the village and at some brick kilns. These are really poor and disadvantaged people. We praise God that we are able to reach and teach them faithful for all the past years. We are thankful to God for our committed team members who are always willing to go to share the Word of God with these people, be among and with them and encourage them through teaching and discipleship.
Please continue to pray for our team, our families and our church here in Pakistan. We are thankful to you for your generous support. The encouragement and love that we receive from you all keeps us devoted, excited and encouraged to be very focused on our ministries through Calvary Chapel Pakistan. God bless you and your family.
in Christ Jesus
