Over 1,000 Pastors and Leaders in Pakistan
Posted under: One country, three cities and over 1,000 pastors and leaders are empowered to shake Pakistan for Jesus! Thanks to the generous support of the Empower International partners, we are making a difference in Pakistan.
Every time I show up at one of our conferences it is an amazing experience. When we drive up to a building filled with hundreds of Christian leaders the first thing I notice is the sound of heart-felt songs of praise rising up to worship the One True and Living God. Before I can even get out of the car, there are precious people surrounding the vehicle awaiting our arrival. As I make my way into the building, there is a line of greeters lining the way as they hold bowls filled with flower petals. As I enter, the flower petals fly and fall down like snow on my head and shoulders. This is the traditional Pakistani way to welcome their guests.
The hunger for God and His Word in the hearts of the leaders here is second to none. They have an intense desire to know God, to develop spiritual intelligence and to learn practical and effective strategies for successful ministry. This is a great atmosphere for empowering leaders to succeed in their mission to reach their people for God!
In each conference, each day built upon the other. There was strong teaching, timely prophetic words, spontaneous times of effectual prayer and the demonstration of God’s power. Many leaders testified of answered prayer, revelation of God’s wisdom, physical healing and times of spiritual refreshing.
I am confident more now than ever in God’s strategy to reach Pakistan and nations like it! It is to empower more indigenous emerging leaders through the principle of multiplication as the Apostle Paul exhorted Pastor Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2. Alone, we cannot accomplish the mission, but with God and the great army of Believers world-wide, we can do it!
