Shared with Us by a National Pastor
During this trip, 50 new believers publicly testified to their faith through baptism. Since there are no baptismal pools in these desert villages, we dug a large grave-like pit, filled it with water, and joyfully baptized the new believers in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The people were extremely excited to receive baptism, demonstrating their strong desire to follow Christ regardless of the hardships.
By the grace of God, we were also able to plant four new churches in these areas. These fellowships will serve as lighthouses for the Gospel, providing ongoing discipleship, worship, and outreach among the surrounding villages. Our hearts are burdened to continue reaching more lost tribes, and we are committed to expanding this work deeper into the desert regions where the name of Jesus has never been proclaimed before.
Another critical need we addressed during this mission was the provision of clean drinking water. The natural water sources in these villages are heavily contaminated with chemicals, making them dangerous for human consumption. Thanks to the partnership with Pure Water Ministry, we provided Pure Water Systems in several villages. These systems are transforming lives by providing safe, clean drinking water.
We thank God that we were able to first give them the “Water of Life” — the message of salvation through Jesus Christ — and afterward meet their physical need by providing water for their bodies to survive in these harsh places. This holistic-ministry approach is opening hearts even more to the Gospel.
We are incredibly grateful to Pure Water Ministry for their partnership and support. We kindly request the provision of more Pure Water Systems, as they are greatly needed and are making a significant difference in the lives of many families. These systems are not just improving health conditions; they are opening doors for the Gospel and changing lives forever in Pakistan. All glory and honor to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who makes all things possible!
PRAYERS NEEDED
We were able to send another 226 water systems to Rwanda, Uganda, and the DRC. Please pray that the Gospel will be well received.
