The City of Faisalabad
In one of the most densely populated cities in all of Pakistan, Faisalabad boasts of a population of more than 3 million people. With Islam being the state religion, Believers in Christ represent only about 2% of the population. Being a Christian in this region of the world is very challenging and affects all aspects of life. Things like employment, promotional opportunities, education (to name a few) are all impacted by simply being a Christian here. As a result, Believers often live in close proximity to one another, frequently in less desirable areas. Life is characterized by poverty, little to no healthcare, and often ongoing hunger. Despite these challenges, God is raising up leaders and building His Church in Pakistan!
Meet Pastor Sahil Nisar
Pastor Sahil Nisar has answered the call of God to nurture and feed the Body of Christ in Faisalabad. In 2013 he and his family launched a church in their home with just a few Believers. Over the years they have witnessed God's faithfulness in discipleship and now 30 families gather to worship and exalt the name of Jesus! This is very exciting while also presenting challenges with the limited space to accommodate all these families. This is where Light In The Dark Ministries (LITDM) is answering the call. The LORD has guided LITDM to bridge the gap to help this incredible Body of Believers.

We Need Your Help
With all the exciting discipleship going on in this Body of Believers, more space is their greatest need. An extremely rare opportunity has presented itself! Directly across the street from where they gather, a property is now for sale that could be a tremendous blessing to this congregation. We believe God still moves mountains and makes a way where there is no way. This congregation is motivated to make big sacrifices to help "carry their weight." One member in the congregation has sacrificed and recently donated 1/3 of their home property to the church. The remainder of the available real estate is owned by a Muslim man and has listed it for sale. Will you consider partnering with Light In The Dark Ministries to help this congregation?
The Plan & Call To Action
We are still reviewing bids from contractors to modify the space to accommodate this Church. At this point, we anticipate the total project to cost around $40k-$60k depending on some on-going factors. Again, sacrifices are being made on a local level, but outside support to help accomplish this goal is definitely needed. That is where LITDM & you come in. Would you consider joining us to partner to raise this amount? Here is what we are looking for:
Partners Needed!
We are looking for 20 partners who are willing to raise a minimum of $2k each and then send that amount directly to Light In The Dark Ministries. You can use this page as a way to share the need with your network. As the saying goes, "Many hands make for light work." If you are willing to help in this capacity, please send us a message in the form below and we will give you more details. Thank you so much!
