Church build in Pakistan going forward

David Meade · Answered Prayer

Four years ago, I received a burden for Pakistan. I saw that hundreds of missionaries were going to India, but few to Pakistan due to it being an Islamic Republic. And I said to the Lord, “Send me”. I was in Argentina at the time and could find no one who was interested in knowing Jesus in a close and deep relationship. All my pastor friends had thrown Jesus out with the bath water so to speak, when COVID came and the economy collapsed. I felt very alone and sought for a people Hungry for God.
To that end I found a family of very poor brick workers, Christians, who lived in bonded slavery working in a brick Kiln. I learned that the whole village all worked in the "The Brick" as they call it, all in bonded slavery.
They showed me the living conditions and I was horrified to learn and see the water that they had to drink and bath in, it was absolutely black. DOSI Gospel Missions decided to put a well in the village so that they could have clean water to drink and bath. It cost only $500 Canadian dollars. It changed their lives.
Since that time, the village people, hungry for someone to show them Jesus, have gathered each Sunday in the home of the family and I teach the gospel of the Kingdom to them. DOSI purchased many bibles but most, having never been to school, cannot read of write; therefore, they come each week to hear God's word.
In the four years they have grown so much in understanding and faith, desiring to build a house of God in their village where they could go and pray and be in the Lord’s presence.
We have been praying for this for sometime, but I was never able to help them with their vision and dream. Over the last few years, they have taken the very little they have, made the mite sacrifice, and given each week it toward the goal of building a church.
Today, they rejoice as they have, with their own money they have saved, $3000 dollars, and purchased the land, 100 square meter lot to build the church on.
What an incredible Testimony of love and faith for God we here in Canada, in our abundance, can only wonder at. They have taken the mite and given it to Jesus so he can live among them. What a lesson for us comfortable Christians here in Canada.
Here in Canada, we are one of the riches nations in the world. We are a people who love the world and the things of the world. We are blinded by comfort to the truth of the gospel.
“Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world” 1John 2:15-16
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches!
