END TIME MESSAGE BELIEVERS ASSEMBLIES. PAKISTAN Pakistan Missions Update

October 2009

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Christian Greetings, Being a representative of Urdu speaking bride of the Christ, I am privileged to bring you this update for the month of October 2009. This update contains what is going on around us through the wonderful power of the Holy Ghost in this last age, read and have a blessed day. Amen.

Outreach Meetings: Traveling in the country like Pakistan has become an unseen risk and some gathering provide a solid reason and opportunity to terrorist to perform their cruel activities on a large scale. Love of Christ moves His chosen ones for the growth of His Bride….He not only moves our hearts but He also provides a shelter under His mighty wings. We have had to make many trips in various parts of the country even during the time of threats and high risk.

Islamabad : On a call to visit at Rawalpindi and Islamabad from Pastor Javed George, Pastor Jamil Sabir , Pastor Tariq Gulzar and Bro.Shahid, we prayed and decided to make this two days trip in this area. We started our traveling in the morning and left Lahore at 10:00 a.m. It is almost 5 hours drive to reach Islamabad. When we were half way to our destination…….that is the last city

before mountain range begins….we had a meal break and a little stay to re-check our vehicle before furter traveling.Our vehicle,s left front wheal’s studs were little loose…it looks like they need to be tighten.

Pakistani Investigators after Islamabad suicide attack

On the enquiry we came to know that this strange looking compound is built to protect themselves during worship service from some direct shooting/hitting by militants…for there was a risk already. We had carried our sound system and lights…to present a good quality voice and picture for the media production…..but we were strictly forbidden to use them by the local security. They explained thatloud voice and sparking lights may attract some terrorists. God spoke wonderfully through His little servant on a very beautiful topic “ARISE, SHINE; FOR THY LIGHT IS COME, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS RISEN UPON THEE.” It was a great service. Some denominational ministers were also there along with the all ministers of this last age Truth. God spoke very dynamically with a clear message that what is the relation between Bridegroom and True Bride. Later on we entered in Rawalpindi and provided a long hour fellowship till early morning and had a question answers session with the local ministers and the people present there.

Rawat: Next day we left Rawalpindi for having a meeting at Rawat where

Bro.Manzoor Masih is the pasturing three small groups at three different places. Once again we had to enter in Islamabad to be on our way to Rawat. Few Brethren among us wanted to see the beautiful places ,markets and big buildings in Islamabad… we had a short of time and kept going. When we reached Rawat which is some 35 minutes drive from Islamabad….we heard about a suicide attack on Islamic University Islamabad. We were passing that place almost 15-20 minutes earlier. Glory to God for He is able to prove His promises. The sweet voice of our MIGHTY EAGLE said “HE THAT DWELLETH IN THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH SHALL ABIDE UNDER THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY. I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, HE IS MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS: MY GOD; IN HIM WILL I TRUST.SURELY HE

SHALL DELIVER THEE FROM THE SNARE OF

THE FOWLER, AND FROM THE NOISOME PESTILENCE.HE SHALL COVER THEE WITH HIS FEATHERS, AND UNDER HIS WINGS shalt thou trust: HIS TRUTH SHALL BE THY SHIELD AND BUCKLER. PSALM 91:1-4. Praises and glory. Amen. We had a wonderful time with the Believers at Rawat and driven back to Gujranwala where Pastor Boota Masih welcomed us in his place and spent a great time with him.

Mardan, Peshawar & Wah cant: Bro. Samuel Joseph at Mardan,Bro.Zulifqar,Bro.Abid Khan, Bro.Javed sultan and Bro.Shahid at Peshawar and Bro.Shamoon and Bro.Javed Gill at Wah cant informed us only one day before we had to start our journey for these places that they are not allowed to have special meetings because of severe security threats from Taliban in this area. It was October 26 afternoon. We have to leave early morning on 27th for Mardan and further 28th for Peshawar and 29th for Wah Cant. It was disappointing news. We carried out our office work on October 27th and in the mid of 28th we got information about a big blast in Peshawar city. It was the same day we had to be there….and Bro.Abid Khan informed that it was only a half

mile away from the place we had our meeting place. 119 people got killed in this deadly attack. Thanks God there was no harm towards saints in Peshawar. Thanks for the prayers of the saints which are surely fruitful…..and keep us safe in every way. Amen.

Kasur District: Kasur is a large district with rich old day traditions. There are some big names in the Urdu/Punjabi poetry, film, politics and army officials related with this area. Pakistan and India has a joint border near Kasur. God has been so good to us throughout our joint efforts with you to spread this Message of Restoration in the near and far of the country. We never ceased to pray about this place that may He open this area for the acceptance of Truth. A large number of Christian are dwelling in this district. We are sending Message by Bro.Branham in book and audio/video

from last 18 months….and praying about it also. Last month a minister named Afzal Masih who is covering a large area in this district and moves and pastures three established churches here experienced a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit and God open His heart to accept the Truth while he was watching and listening a video cd teaching on Original Sin. He came at outreach Center and shared his heart and got many audio/video messages along with a number of printed for his personal study. He is fully convinced by the ultimate Truth preached by the last age prophet and rejected his former multi denominational belief and wanted to

be re-baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. He completed his Bible School graduate from a Trinitarian Church and serving Lord since 1984.

May our Lord bless this brother richly. He comes to learn more often and leave rejoicing home. We are sending our one of the minister Javed Mall with Pastor Afzal for preaching this Message among His people……till he get a good hold in the Message. Please remember this Bro.Afzal in your prayers. Thanks.

Lahore Chapter: God is so good to the local church at Lahore outreach Center. There we have a liberty to preach and teach the entire Word and many visitors join us on Sunday service including some ministers from the surroundings. There were 7 people got baptized in the name of Lord Jesus. Amen. Pastor Rafiq Khokhar and Bro.Ashraf are two of few ministers who sometime come to attend the Sunday service with Bro.Anwar’s local assembly…they both are very enthusiastic Brothers and have a large work in an oneness denomination. Bro.Anwar was invited to preach in his large group last week where few Muslim families were also invited….because of Bro.Ashraf who testifies among Muslims.We all had a wonderful time in His presence. Please remember them in your prayers also. Thanks.
