In our last newsletter, we shared about a wonderful opportunity earlier this year to train several leaders from Pakistan. We gathered in Azerbaijan for just over a week to dig into the Word of God together and explore how to apply it in making disciples and planting churches.

We recently met with each of these leaders and were encouraged to hear how they’ve gone on to teach others and raise up new leaders, starting house churches in several cities along the Pakistan–Afghanistan border. In under a year, the Pakistan team has grown from 15 house churches to 27—adding 12 new groups by equipping local leaders to start gatherings right where they live and working to reach areas where there are no believers and no churches. Several teams are carrying out this work, and we praise God for the fruit He is producing in one of the most challenging regions of the world.

If you’d like to learn more or help sponsor the work in Pakistan, we’re still raising funds for additional training events as well as food and Bible distributions. We need approximately $16,000 more to cover training travel and outreach opportunities yet for 2026.
