Many thanks to all of you who prayed and offered words of encouragement for our time of ministry in Pakistan. We praise God for this meaningful and fruitful two week evangelistic mission where our GCS Pakistan teams and partners were able to minister the Gospel alongside Danish Peter and his team in Karachi in the Sindh province, and alongside Anees Sager and his team in Sahiwal in the Punjab province. We were able to share the Gospel with many thousands of people every day in open air events, an Afghan refugee camp, Brick Kiln Yards, churches, and TV broadcasts. It was humbling to see such an overwhelming response of people turning to Christ in faith and repentance. In Karachi we had the opportunity to meet with Muslim scholars at an Islamic seminary where we shared the Gospel. We praise God for opening up such an unlikely door! It was heartbreaking to see so many families trapped in modern slavery at the Brick Kiln Yards. These people are all trapped in debt, and it seems there is no end in sight to their misery working as bonded labourers making bricks in harsh, hazardous conditions. GCS Pakistan wants to see families released from debt, and assisted with accommodation, an income source, and education for their children. So much needs to be done. GCS was able to work closely with local church leaders to train and equip them in evangelism and discipleship. It was an honour to provide substantial training in different locations. Please continue to pray for God’s work in Pakistan and for GCS South Asia’s ministry in this region. Jesus is raising up His church on this continent and it's encouraging to witness. If you’re looking for an opportunity to serve in missions, while ensuring your time and the resources required are maximized for long-term ministry, let GCS Missions introduce you into missions. We’d love to get to know you and discuss how God is calling you: https://www.gcsmissions.com/missions-apply-now/ If you would like to support the work GCS is doing in Pakistan, please donate to GCS today: https://www.gcsmissions.com/gcs-pakistan-appeal #GCSPAKISTAN #GCSUK #GCSPrayer #GCSTraining https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQyogcIPuo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fantastic open-air-evening-outreach in the Okara district of the Punjab. A lot of people responded positively to the Gospel tonight. You know, I've preached the Gospel all over the world, and one thing I know to be true is that the Lord is not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). This is precisely what we saw tonight in Pakistan!!! “Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12) Dear Lord Jesus, I praise You for the privilege of knowing You, following You, enjoying You, and loving You as my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen!!! #GCSPAKISTAN #GCSUK #GCSPrayer #GCSTraining https://www.gcsmissions.com/gcs-pakistan-appeal https://www.instagram.com/p/CqI3LwhIsOc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A wonderful GCS Pakistan and ministry partners debrief meeting today in Sahiwal. This has certainly been a fruitful evangelistic mission where the Gospel was preached to many thousands of people. When we commit to measuring ministry success, we are effectively replacing the guesswork that is inherent in an assumption with actual data. This data aids in effective decision-making, because we are no longer just guessing or supposing, but being transparent and accountable before God. Our data evaluates not only the financial and fiduciary duties, but also the quality of the Gospel message being proclaimed, the background and number of people reached, the level of leaders trained and equipped, the follow up that needs to be done, and the strategic effectiveness of the overall mission. I highly praise the team: Pastor Anees, Pastor Azam, Pastor Kashif, Pastor Mukhtar, Evangelist Roben, Evangelist Kashif, Evangelist Zohaib, and brother Sajwal. Jesus is raising up His church in Pakistan in a mighty way during these challenging days. We are looking forward to building the evangelistic momentum in this nation. #GCSPAKISTAN #GCSUK #GCSPrayer #GCSTraining https://www.gcsmissions.com/gcs-pakistan-appeal https://www.instagram.com/p/CqIdG7jI_sj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A joy to speak at an open air evangelistic meeting this evening along Dadfatyana 8/11L near Chichawatni in Sahiwal. Local churches made a huge effort to invite the community, and there was a huge response to the Gospel, which we give praise to God. Pray for more communities like this in spiritually oppressed remote areas of Pakistan to encounter the Gospel, and for the Body of Christ to grow numerically and in maturity.   #GCSPAKISTAN #GCSUK #GCSPrayer #GCSTraining https://www.gcsmissions.com/gcs-pakistan-appeal https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBcUjvIOX0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Brick Yard Mission, Burewala Today our team has been ministering the Gospel and providing food to several Brick Kiln communities across Sahiwal. These people are all trapped in debt, and it seems there is no end in sight to their misery working as bonded labourers making bricks in harsh, hazardous conditions. Driven by poverty and need, these people take out loans or a cash advance – to pay hospital fees or get a sibling married, for example. In return, they are told to work on brick kilns until they can repay the amount borrowed. The money they owe keeps increasing, spiralling out of reach, thus keeping them and future generations in debt. Reasons for this can include high interest on the amount borrowed, low wages further cut due to corrupt officials, increasing and unlawful deductions, and forged entries into the books that the workers do not get to see.  GCS want to do all we can to help free people from both their physical and spiritual prisons. Please pray for this situation to change. Please support what GCS is doing in Pakistan. https://www.gcsmissions.com/gcs-pakistan-appeal #GCSPAKISTAN #GCSUK #GCSPrayer #GCSTraining https://www.instagram.com/p/CqAR7P2ozIy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We have been able reach and teach many people this Sunday in back to back meetings across interior Punjab region. It was a blessing to fellowship this morning at A.R.P Ravi Presbyteri Church, and at Salvation by Grace Church in Chichawatni. We ministered the Gospel and provided foundational teaching to support those young in their faith journey. We are now preparing for tonight’s evangelistic event, where we hope to share the Gospel with many more souls. We have a very important calling to reach the most unreached with the hope of the Gospel, and we take that calling from our Lord seriously. If you would like to help but not sure how, please consider donating to GCS to help us mobilise the Gospel in Pakistan and address the severe humanitarian needs in this nation.
