HOPE THROUGH EDUCATION
$9,296 Total 2020 Ministry Expenditures
Although our ministry in Pakistan is smaller than in other countries, it is making a deep impact. Our partners carried out small-scale food distributions under COVID-19 lockdowns, reaching several dozen families with a month’s worth of food. Our greatest focus, however, is supporting a school in Eastern Pakistan. In the economic fallout of COVID-19, helping children with school supplies and equipping the school with cleaning supplies made it possible for dozens of children from poor families to continue their education.

This school has been providing free education to poor, orphaned, abandoned, and exploited children in Pakistan since 2012. It is a Christian school, but it employs both Muslim and Christian teachers and enrolls about 90% Muslim and 10% Christian students. Although small, the school has set an example of what it can look like for Muslims and Christians to work together, and it has caused the Muslim community to give greater respect to the historically marginalized Christian community, while opening doors for the Gospel.
Its founder says: “The school has been sharing the love of Christ among Christians and Muslims, and has made a great impact in the lives of those who had hatred-filled hearts and hostile behavior towards Christianity. It has always created a great Gospel bridge for us. This mercy ministry has been more successful than any other ministry we have ever done!
In May, with your support, we took care of the immediate needs of the school. We distributed food items to 21 children from 14 different families. The families had many words of gratitude. They sent a lot of prayers for our ministry, and for those who supported. They truly needed the help at this time.
Our school was able to re-open. Unfortunately, the number was reduced because we had to move the building to another area. This is the beginning though. Our teachers will continue visiting local families to bring more kids to our school. In November we distributed uniforms, shoes, socks, bags, and books to 17 students. By God’s grace and with your support, COVID-19 protective items and hygiene items were made available at the school. School necessities were purchased and bills paid. We also installed a large handwashing sink at the entrance of the school building. their income from joblessness or low work during this COVID-19 period. Thank you for the funds, all your prayers, love, and support towards our ministry in Pakistan and for the Pakistani people. May the Lord continue to bless all of you.”
We have supported families of the kids, school staff, and several missionaries with food packages to help cover damages to their income from joblessness or low work during this COVID-19 period. Thank you for the funds, all your prayers, love, and support towards our ministry in Pakistan and for the Pakistani people. May the Lord continue to bless all of you.”
