We have so much greatness going on! This general update will expound on all the awesome things our Elohim is doing with His people in Pakistan! We stay amazed and grateful for what He has done, what He sustains, and the new things He's beginning to do! Enjoy this general update, with pictures! Passover/Unleavened Bread: What a celebration we had! 5,700 Pakistanis attended the recent village celebrations for Passover and Unleavened Bread! The people ate together, heard the gospel, and learned and celebrated the significance and meaning of these very special appointed times. What a beautiful sight it was to behold!
Community Sustainment: The Winning Pakistan ministry team includes two master gardeners who are experts in their field and many other related fields. They will be working closely with the leaders in Pakistan on some very important topics to help keep the community sustained with food, clean water, and good health. They plan to work on the very important topics of permaculture gardening, water filtration and sustaining the provision of clean water, hygiene and waste management, as well as community upkeep. We are amazed at the people Yahuah has brought to this ministry, and with this effort in particular, we are expecting lasting change in these very important aspects of Pakistani life! Building Project: We have been working on a worship/medical building for one of our larger villages but had to pause so that we could focus our resources on the recent Passover celebration. Once we replenish our resources, we will be back at it again! This building will be multi-purpose and will be used to save lives, both spirit and body! Baptisms: Within the last month, we have had approximately 35 baptisms in Pakistan! This means 35 souls made the choice to receive Yahusha as their King and Savior and then show their faith outwardly through baptism! Lives are being changed now and into eternity, and we know that our Father in Heaven is so very pleased! We congratulate our new brothers and sisters and say, Welcome to the Family, the Body, and the Kingdom! Harvest Time: Two of our villages just experienced extensive harvests from their gardening efforts! One village has just harvested wheat, and the other has harvested onions! To see this happening where the people are growing and harvesting their own food brings such joy! To think that before, most of them were literally enslaved to the brickyards to get a daily ration for food. Now many have been set free! Praise Yahuah! And as we watch the gardening efforts grow and grow, we know freedom and shalom will result!
Food Distribution: Although the gardening efforts are producing an exciting harvest, there is still much lack of food in the villages of Pakistan that we support. Food distribution to the people is ongoing and does not cease. It will take much time until all of the villages can sustain their own food. Regardless of what else is going on with the ministry, food distribution continues every month, and the people are fed! Praise Yahuah that we can help ensure that our brothers and sisters are not hungry! If you are blessed with what you see happening with this ministry and you desire to support or be a part of it, please either contact us or visit our Donate page. With Yahuah's blessing, we truly are making a difference. We give Him all the praise and glory -- it solely belongs to Him!

As the ministry continues with ongoing truth classes with the Pakistanis every single week, we continue to receive testimonies on a regular basis! Their lives are changing here on this earth and into eternity, and this is such happy news! The following are some of these wonderful testimonies; may they bless you, especially those of you who support this ministry in prayer, teaching, and all forms of support! As more people begin to accept Yahusha as the Son of the Living Elohim, there are more baptisms! Souls are being won for the Kingdom of Yahuah!!
In this post, we would first like to share our gratitude to those who have come alongside us in prayer and support for our financial goals for the month of March. This month is different from others, because we are not only continuing with our ongoing support that provides food and widow/children support, but we are also supporting the celebration of Passover/Unleavened Bread in Pakistan for near 6,000 believers, many of whom are either brand new or are seeking the truth of the Father! This month is so impactful!
Below is a summary of the needs for March that are urgent and ongoing. We have now received over half of the full $13,000 needed for this month, and we are praying for Father's continued provision so that nothing is left out (see details below)! As always, any donation amount and any prayer is helpful in assisting us to reach this goal. And as a reminder, every penny received by this ministry is directed to Pakistan as reflected in the summary below. If you are moved to give to this wonderful and impactful cause, please visit our Donate page! Through all the blessings of Yahuah poured out through the support and prayers of the saints, our brothers and sisters in Pakistan are now working to complete their third worship center! These worship centers provide shelter and warmth for the worshippers as they gather on sabbath, for fellowship, and to observe the appointed feast days. These facilities will also be used for schooling for the children as well as a gathering place for meetings and other needs. The pictures and video below show the current progress on the third worship center now going up in the village of one of our interpreter/teachers. We give all thanks and praise to our Father Yahuah for hearing the cries and requests of His people as they seek Kingdom things! Enjoy this short 1.5-minute video that also displays the progress of this latest house of Yahuah! (Also, please be sure to like and share this video!!) In this post we share a variety of recent praises and blessings! It seems that we see something profoundly special on a weekly basis with our Pakistan villages and all the beautiful changes flowing from their commitment to Yahuah through His Son Yahusha! First we share a man who has now become a new creation in Yahusha! Brother Kevin and Brother Asif were able to share the truth with this dear man, and He received it and was immediately baptized! Look at his happy, grateful face (he's the one on the far right)!! Next we share a testimony of a sister who said that although she is illiterate and cannot read, she is so blessed to hear the words shared in the teaching in her village group. Just hearing the words has brought her joy and her life is changed! She said Yahuah has blessed her! Glory halleluYah!! And finally we share some sweet pictures of the children in their new school classes. They look so happy to be learning! We are so proud of them! Two of our regular and ongoing needs are food packs and coats and shoes. Below we share pictures of the most recent distribution of both, as well as smiles and an abundance of thank you's from the recipients! To the Pakistani people... while you feel that we bless you, we want you to know that your faith, your endurance, your joy, and your gratitude blesses us so very much!!
We have recently begun supporting the effort of teaching school classes for the children in the villages of Pakistan with which we are in partnership! As of now, we have three classes started and a fourth one to start soon!
The children will be learning all basic subjects as well as bible study and following the way of Yahusha. In our support of these classes, we will help to provide books and teaching supplies and are also planning to use our future worship centers (currently being planned) to house these classes during the week. New doors continue to swing wide open for the Pakistani people as Yahuah takes care of every detail! We are grateful to be a part of this beautiful story!! In previous posts, we have shared progress on the flourishing gardens in Pakistan! These gardens came from land purchased and leased through the donations of Winning Pakistan supporters, which include members of WP team, Calendar Club zoom group, family and friends, and others who have seen the work and want to be a part of it! As of now, we have two 25x25 plots that the people own, as well as four separate acres that are being leased by the year. These land plots are all set apart for gardens, which are already and will continue to provide the people with ongoing food and even further provision through the selling of excess food. These gardens have been the start of self-sustainment for the people, and we are grateful to our supporters and especially to Yahuah who has poured out His favor! See more updates on the land below: And now we share some of the recent produce from our more mature gardens: By the hand and favor of our heavenly Father, Yahuah, His Winning Pakistan ministry is making a huge difference in the lives of many of the Pakistani people with whom we are immensely blessed to be connected! With this impact, we are using social media to spread the word that it may go far and wide! Our goal is always to first and foremost glorify our Father through the spreading of His gospel of salvation and then to share our blessings with His people who are in need. Please help us reach and sustain this goal with your prayers and sharing on our social media platforms! Every time you like, comment, share, follow, and subscribe, you are taking another step is helping us to get this message out! Please know there is great impact in this!

In this update, we would like to give you a smorgasbord of giving and receiving! Our ministry gives to the Pakistani people in many general areas such as food, clothing/coats/shoes, worship centers, animals (for food and milk), land (for gardening), living essentials, bibles, and many other important necessities. Below enjoy a variety of pictures of our most recent giving and receiving! This is only possible by the hand of Yahuah and the obedience of His people in fulfilling His word! I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Messiah Yahusha, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35 Praise Yahuah!! Since the Winning Pakistan ministry began just a little over a year ago, we have watched our heavenly Father add each of His own hand-picked leaders, teachers, and supporters... all with specialized, unique talents to support the exact vision given to the founder, Kevin Moses. With this post, we would like to focus on what our Master Gardner, David K., and Pakistan leader Jennifer M., have now accomplished! Through prayer, hard work, determination, and endurance, parched dry land has now been turned into flourishing gardens... gardens which will sustain and provide for the people on an ongoing basis! Please take a look at the video below that supports and details this successful endeavor! We are full of joy to see the self-sufficiency of the people, which would not be possible without Yahuah's powerful hand !
The people of Pakistan as well as all of us at Winning Pakistan thank you -- those who support this ministry and share your blessings -- so much that we would like to share our thank you's once again -- this time in video form! Enjoy! It is our great pleasure to share the distribution of shoes, blankets, jackets, sewing materials, and food! The people are full of joy and plenty of thank you's! Be joyful as you view these wonderful pictures and videos! Your prayers and support are making the way as our heavenly Father hears the cries of His people in Pakistan and the requests and supplications of His people in the WP ministry! We praise Him for His faithfulness! Behold, the eye of Yahuah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy... Psalm 33:18
We are elated today to share two miracles of faith!! And we attribute this all to our heavenly Father, Yahuah! To Him be glory glory!! The first story is from one of our sisters in Pakistan who now has a new son in Yahusha!! This woman's son had accepted Islam and did not know Yahuah. She, however, was a regular attendee at the teaching and praise meetings. Upon Kevin's prayer that Father will hear all people as they pray, she believed. She heard the voice of the Father and has prayed for her son. He has now accepted Yahuah, through His Son Yahusha, and is free from Islam! We praise our Father that He hears us as we pray His heart!
Secondly, we would like to share an update on the bountiful gardens that are springing up with life in some of the villages! The land recently purchased through the ministry, because of the generous donations of those who support us, has now been turned from dry, lifeless nothingness to vibrant, green provision!! The people are excited and happy, and so are we!! This land and flourishing gardens are not only a source of food for the people but can also be a source of work (removal from the brickyards) as well as income, as the excess crops can be sold to other nearby villages! This is truly the saving grace of Yahuah, and we are so grateful! As so many of the more fortunate are gearing up to lavish gifts and goodies upon their loved ones, many others are simply trying to survive... including trying to stay warm in freezing temperatures. Our prayers and desires are to bless the least of these now with the necessities for warmth and health!
The people in need in the villages of Pakistan range from babies to the elderly; and then there are those who have no village and live on the streets -- of which many are young children. We have shared pictures of these children in previous posts with more included below (these are real pictures taken by our leaders). While it is our dream to secure an orphanage and help these children, we realize this can be complicated and time-consuming. In the meantime, we can work with our brothers and sisters in Pakistan to get these children blankets, pillows, warm clothes, and shoes... as well as a way to get a hot meal. This alone will make life on the street more bearable during these cold months. Please help us help them. If you have all you need, and even an abundance, please consider blessing them through this ministry. Every cent that we receive goes directly to purchase the exact items needed! And we are always sure to post the joy of those in need receiving these items -- and to glorify our Father in Heaven, Yahuah, in the name of His Son Yahusha, for all He is doing for them. Remember, as their hands reach out to receive what we give to them, Yahusha stands in the midst with His hands out as well. We bless and please Him dearly each time we bless His little ones. If you are moved to help, please go to our Donate page. And we thank you deeply from our hearts! Today we share a wonderful testimony of healing through mustard seed faith in the power of the One true and living God, Yahuah! Upon hearing the word of truth of Yahuah, through His Son Yahusha, this woman believed and prayed for her daughter, who was born abnormal and could not speak nor stand on her own feet. After praying with brother Kevin and the group for her daughter, Yahuah heard and responded and has worked in her life, and she is now beginning to speak and is standing on her feet!! She also battled the presence of a demonic force and has been set free!! We can never underestimate the power of true faith, no matter how small! He is faithful!! HalleluYah, HalleluYah, HalleluYah!!! So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of Yahuah. Romans 10:17 And Yahusha said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20 Testimony Time! We would like to share some wonderful pictures of the recent distribution of much provision to the villages in Pakistan that are still much in need.
This provision includes food, warm clothing/coats, shoes, bibles, and even sewing machines that will help the women to make their own clothes as well as sell their creations, contributing to sustaining their own provision! We are so very happy to share these pictures of those in need receiving the things that will make life for them a bit closer to how our Heavenly Father designed it for those who love Him... and also receiving these gifts from His own hands and feet in this earth! We praise Yahuah for all His wonderful work! We love posting testimonies of all that Yahuah is doing in Pakistan! We pray all of the progress blesses you, especially if you have sown into the work!
We never want to minimize the most important progress of all, which is that the people of Pakistan are turning to Yahuah through His Son Yahusha on a continual basis! We see deep, child-like faith and a hunger and desire for the truth of the Word. And through this faith, we see testimonies of deliverance and healing! We also post many of these testimonies as well. This particular post is another testimony of provision. As we are approaching the winter months, there has been an increasing need for coats and shoes, which has been one of our priority goals as outlined on the Donate page (many of the people are without shoes and are forced to go bare foot, even while working in the brickyards!). And of course, our good goals are ongoing until all of the gardens are purchased and producing. Recently, funds provided enabled a large purchase of both coats and shoes and more food, which will make this winter much more bearable for the people! We are still collecting for these items to meet our overall goal. Enjoy these pictures and just imagine the joy of the people beholding this provision, knowing that Yahuah sees their need and loves them! Through the generosity of the followers of Yahuah, much provision has been made to the people of Pakistan that will allow them to sustain their progress, whether it be in the area of basic needs or in the worship of the Almighty! Just in the last few months, we have had goals to provide what was needed in the areas of both growing food via gardens as well as creating a place of inside worship for the people, relieving them from the extreme seasonal elements. Much progress has been made with both of these efforts, and we would like to testify of this goodness! None of this would be possible without the faithful prayers and giving of Yahuah's people as well as the faithfulness and hard work of those in Pakistan! We celebrate our Heavenly Father today, as HE HAS DONE THIS! HalleluYah! Aside from the ongoing needs of the people, we have a more emergent situation that needs our immediate compassion and attention. This story is something we have likely not heard in America.
The people in one of the villages we support in Pakistan had sold themselves to a brickyard for food and housing to survive. The brickyard wall fell and injured 13 families there and shut down the brickyard due to damages. The owner wants the people to rebuild the brickyard or be on the streets. He is blackmailing them that if they don't keep quiet about his fault, he will jail them for not paying their loans. We need to raise $2,500 to buy their freedom and give them sewing machines to earn some money on their own. If we can do this, we can free approximately 100 people from slavery to the brickyard. May Yahuah move on your heart to help us meet this goal. Please go to our Donate page and help us provide freedom to our brothers and sisters who have not known freedom as we do! We will also continue to help these people with donations of food, water, clothing, bibles, and basic necessities. PLEASE HELP US HELP THEM!! Below are some of the pictures of the people working in the brickyards, of which many are women and children. In correlation with the last post regarding our progress with the land and gardens, we would also like to share that we have had two wonderful people come forward with the suggestion to purchase goats and chickens for the people, which will also provide additional means of food! And both of these people have offered their help and resources to make this a full success!
Below are pictures of the first addition to the family of animals! We are so very excited and thankful for this latest gift of provision for the people! Praise Yahuah, from whom all blessings flow!! We preface this post by stating that what we will share with you is a sobering reality of what our brothers and sisters in Pakistan endure and see, even in cases, on a regular basis. We would also like to say that it is our goal to only share authentic pictures and details given to us by our leaders, as they obtain from either their own eyewitness or someone they trust. As we all know, the winter is approaching in Pakistan just as it is here. The people are in dire need of clothing and blankets to stay warm, and we have already made progress in addressing this need (pictures below). But also in addition to this, there are even more dire circumstances for the homeless. While we realize that it will be difficult to address and solve every need of the people, it will not stop us from trying. We have recently worked with one of our leaders in Pakistan to arrange a home for two widows and their children, and as soon as today or tomorrow, we are hopeful that they will be off the streets! We can only imagine the joy and relief this will bring to them! We are hopeful to get pictures of this to share as well! While it is our ultimate goal to do everything we can to help, we do not desire to pressure anyone into participating in or donating towards this goal. We only provide the truth of what is going on and present it as an opportunity to help and make a difference, as the hands and feet of our King and Savior Yahusha. And it is true that with the blessing of Yahuah, we ARE making a huge difference! If you are moved to help with this cause, please go to our Donate page. And in all cases, your prayers are just as important, so please pray for our efforts and for the peoples' needs to be met quickly! We sincerely thank you! As we shared a few update posts ago, we have now purchased and leased land to create gardens for the people that will provide food on an ongoing basis. Also important, this land will enable some of the people to leave the hard labor of the brickyards where they were working for daily food rations.
As of today, we have now successfully acquired land as follows: -- leased 4 acres for one year each (The contracts on these leases are written such they cannot be taken from the people during or after the lease, unless the rent is not paid. The rent is being paid annually at $600 per acre, and we are seeking to lease one more acre at $600.) -- purchased two 25 x 25 plots (We have the written deeds in hand, and the people own this land! We are working to purchase two more plots at $800 each.) We would like to now share pictures of the progress on some of the land and how it is flourishing with veggies such as radishes and turnips, along with herbs such as coriander and methi; and even more!! Other parts of the land are currently being prepared for planting for winter crops; we will share more on this as things progress. (If you would like to see before pictures of the land that is now producing, go to this previous post.) We praise Yahuah for His will in this regard and continue to ask for His life, breath, and living water to cause the gardens to grow and flourish! We are so very happy for the people that they have received this gift of life! As we continue to teach the people the fullness of the truth of Yahuah's word and pray with them, we see child-like faith growing and producing fruit, along with wonderful testimonies! Below is the testimony of a woman who battled both diabetes and high blood pressure, and because of faith and prayer, she is no longer experiencing symptoms! Many of the testimonies we see often are of this magnitude! The people simply believe, and Yahuah moves! Praise His holy name! Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:4 ... for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20
