Sixteen years ago, I was in a hospital bed that the doctors had given up on.
Today, I am writing this on the anniversary of the day Jesus did not.
On October 24, 2025, we gathered in Lahore to mark sixteen years of Good Samaritan Ministries Pakistan — sixteen years since the miraculous healing that pulled me out of death and put a vow in my heart: no Pakistani who wants to meet Jesus will ever lack the chance to hear The Gospel or hold a Bible in their own language if I can help it.
The Beginning: Five Bibles and One Miracle
It began in February 2009. I was sick. I was written off. And then I was healed — not by medicine, but by the Balm of Gilead Himself, JESUS CHRIST our Lord.
When I walked out of that hospital, I bought Five Urdu Bibles and placed them in the hands of five people. Five was all I could afford. Today we have distributed more than 150,000 free Urdu Bibles across Pakistan, on our way to one million by 2033.
What Sixteen Years Has Produced
- 150,000+ free Urdu Bibles distributed across 50+ districts of Pakistan
- 500+ churches planted in rural villages and persecuted regions
- 1,000+ Christian leaders trained, 100% tuition-free, through Revelation Bible College (founded 2018)
- 500+ Pakistani children receiving tuition-free Christian education at Maranatha Christian High School (launched March 2021)
- Gospel Crusades across all four provinces
- Brick-kiln families rescued; widows supported; persecuted Christians defended; families fed
A Few Faces I Will Never Forget
Muhammad Yousaf of rural Punjab: “I received a free Urdu Bible and for the first time in my life I held the Word of God in my own language.”
The Masih Family of Lahore, rescued from brick-kiln debt slavery: “Good Samaritan Ministries came, paid our debt, and brought us home. We are free.”
Our Motto — Unchanged
“Every home a church. Every church a lighthouse.”
I remember when I could only afford five Bibles. I saw what one Bible did for one person. I dream now of what one million Bibles can do across a nation of 240 million souls.
Please stand with us for the next sixteen.
