The following report comes from Pakistan, and written by our regional director, Pastor Shaukat. The trip to the villages in Sindh province bared much fruit, thanks to your support! Read on to hear all of the details of the trip and how your support and prayers brought it all together.

Dear team,
I just reached home after 4 days of Mission to Sindh Province. I was so blessed to visit these areas of Pakistan. By the grace of God we witnessed in front of 650 unsaved people during this visit, 170 accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, 40 received baptism, and planted 6 new Churches during these 6 days.

1st Day

Illness

I was very sick at home, and I was admitted to hospital for 4 hours. I was suffering from high fever, all my family and students advised me to stop the visit, but I prayed to God for health and strength. After 4 hours, the doctors treated me very well, and I felt better. My team and I decided to start the mission trip. I drove 9 hours and reached the hotel safely praise God, but unfortunately, I couldn’t book my room earlier. So we moved to another place for the stay. We decided to go to Misri’s house. His wife and himself were very kind to us, and they cooked breakfast for us. After breakfast, we started our journey to Sindh province, which was almost 4 hours far from the Deserts.

After that, we reached a village that was waiting for us. I saw that people were very hungry for the word of God. I shared the gospel of Christ. The whole village stood up. They opened their hearts and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ.

Digging A Hole

Twenty people decided to get baptized, but there was no baptismal. God gave me wisdom. We dug a hole into earth and filled it with water with the help of a handle pump. By the grace of God, people were happy to follow the king Jesus Christ. We spent 3 hours in that village. That was a very blessed time.

2nd village:

In this village, we found the people living in the fields that were occupied by the Land Masters. These people are totally enslaved by the Muslims. When we asked them about the God, Jesus Christ, they had no answers, so I started from the creation. I taught them from Adam and his sin and ended on Jesus Christ. This group of people understand the word of God. Once I invited them to accept the Jesus Christ 30 people accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. 13 got baptized in a small kanal praise God.

3rd village

This village was a little far from the Last village. These people are living near to Muslims, and are very afraid to meet other people. These people were worshiping the trees and fire, and worshiping the moon. I was suffering from high fever again. I took medicines. Pastor Fiaz was with me, and he shared the gospel of Christ. 13 people accepted the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the next day we preached the gospel of Christ in Ghotaki Village. A man who connected with me from 2 days prior, requested me to come and join his family, and he has a very small house on rent, and he is using that roof as a small home church. We shared the gospel of Christ and taught them about the deity of Jesus Christ. This Preacher showed interest in working with us. I invited him to get training from our Bible college.

On the third and fourth days we planned to go near the Indian border, that was a very dangerous area. By the grace of God we preached through the deserts and village by village. On the last day in the evening time, we found some people living under the bushes. They were worshiping idols and animals, and by the grace of God, God gave me the wisdom to ask them questions. I asked them about their gods and asked them what their deity is, but they never had any answers. So, I talked to them about the deity of Jesus Christ.

I taught them that Jesus is the only way to go to heaven, and he is worthy. At the end of my sermon, 35 stood up and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, 13 requested me to give them baptisms. Once again, we dug a hole and filled with water, by the grace of God. At the end of the visit we praised God.
We won six villages, and we have planted churches there. Misri and Sudheer will be there for a few months. We will train more youngsters and will send them to those villages.

We distributed 120 Bibles to the new born people. Thanks for the Bibles also.
