Dear Friends & Family,
Merry Christmas, we hope and pray that you all are doing good. We are good by the grace of God, and we are thankful to you all for the prayers, love and support. It is almost Christmas time, and very soon we will be in the next year by the grace and will of God. We praise God for all the wonderful and amazing things that we were able to do with His Help. Here through this update, we want to give you some Highlights of year 2024 and we want to ask you to pray for/with us as we enter into next year.
- Village Church Building: God enabled us this year to purchase a piece of land in a village and start the building, the level of the piece of land was deep and was not in good shape, we have been working and have laid good foundation, much of the work still remains and we need your support to complete this.
Trainings and Workshops: During this year we were able to organize different kinds of trainings and workshops to strengthen brothers and sisters in our church and many others in their faith. We praise God that this has been really fruitful and helpful. people loved being in our trainings.

- Outreaches: God has enabled us to reach many new people groups at different places this year. We praise God for the teaching resources that He has provided to us, and we are able to go and share the word of God with many around us. There are always some difficult places and situations we always need your prayers as we serve here.
Ordination of Pastor Joseph: One of our oldest co-laborer brother Joseph Arif was ordained as a pastor in September as we went to participate in Calvary Chapel conference in Thailand. We praise God for him and his wonderful ministry.
Woman Ministry: Woman ministry is one of the very important ministries that God has enabled us to start. Through this ministry God is helping very oppressed women, they are growing in faith, and they are also learning different kinds of skills. Their families are happy and thriving.
- Sunday Schools: We praise God that we were able to encourage a group in Hindu tribe
(desert) to start teaching children and it is really helpful, we were able to send a young Christian girl for training to serve in Sunday School Ministry, she has come back and has started one in the neighboring town of Bahawalpur. We are going to work more on this ministry in near future and expand it to Hindu Tribal Areas. please keep this in your prayers.
- Online Classes: Our weekly online classes are going really well, recently we were able to travel to the groups that has been learning from us online, we were so blessed to listen to the students while they were sharing about their spiritual journey. Please keep praying that we may grow this part of our ministry into organized classes and trainings in near future.

- Books and Study Material: We always work on preparing different kinds of study material. During this year we have translated many new articles, courses and some books into Urdu
language. The most important of them are: a book on Biblical Counselling, two books of Warren W. Wiersbe, (Devotional Commentary of the Bible and On Being the Servant of God), and Calvary Chapel Distinctive. We are starting CC Distinctive class, and we believe that God is going to using other study material in a mighty way for the wellbeing of the church.
There are many other things that God has been doing in and through our lives. we give him all glory and we seek to be doing His will always. Please continue to pray for us all here. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
