- Several miraculous physical healings
More than 5,000 attended the first ever Gospel gathering held in Abottabad, Pakistan.
Evidence of Gospel Growth
Every church we visited was packed full. That was not the case ten years ago, but now churches show the expansion of the Gospel in Pakistan.
The worship was incredibly vibrant — even though we couldn’t understand a single word! The Holy Spirit was present and the looks on the faces of the people showed authentic worship felt deep from the heart.
Worship was vibrant and heartfelt everywhere.
There is a hunger in Pakistan for the Gospel and for connection with the body of Christ.
Again and again we heard, “So many missionaries left after 9/11 and never came back. Thank you for coming!”
Pakistanis understand the dangers for westerners to visit and live in their country, yet there is a sense that churches been forgotten by the West. GOF Board Director and pastor Steve Ferrante had this to say regarding this repeated comment, “The feeling of isolation that was expressed after the missionaries left due to the 9/11 tragedy was palpable. The pull for America to send more workers cannot be ignored.“
Our presence there brought deep encouragement to Christian believers. But we were equally encouraged by them!
Pakistan is a different country with a different culture, but the believers are of the same like precious faith. You could sense the Holy Spirit connecting us together as family.
I was so encouraged by the exuberance of faith of the Pakistani church and having the opportunity to worship with them. They are an incredible example of love, joy, unity, hospitality, and reverence.
The faith of our brothers and sisters in Pakistan was so inspiring. Brought me to tears of joy! Such a cry out to God, a hunger, a presence! I pray this will carry to America — that our faith will grow more like our family in Pakistan!
There is no way we can communicate everything which took place during our time there. Hopefully the video below gives you an idea of what you helped accomplish.
See the dramatic freedom you helped provide in Pakistan.
