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

In today's post, we want to focus on the people in a particular village who are basically indebted with their lives to brickyard owners. This debt is due to loans the people took from the owners in order to obtain basic living necessities. These people have no freedom; they are bound to the brickyards until their debt is paid. Obviously, anyone who knows the Bible can see how this story mimics the children of Israel, bound in Egypt. This is still happening in our world today! We at Winning Pakistan do not pretend to be able to solve all of the atrocities that we see in Pakistan (realizing this i not just limited to Pakistan), as they are great beyond our imagination. But once we are made aware, then we know that we must do something, even if it is simply to pray. As a matter of fact, prayer can open the heavenly floodgates of provision and redemption that we could never control or manipulate even in our zeal to help. And it is this where we ask you to come into agreement with us... in prayer! Please pray for the redemption, release, and restoration of these people, now bound into slavery and barely getting by from day to day. They need our fervent prayers and our love, and our obedience in prayer will move our Father's heart towards them and hear both our cries and theirs! (Emphasis in red below) For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand [heart] wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. Deuteronomy 15:11 We are making very good progress on our current needs for our families in Pakistan and would like to provide an update and testimony.
First, please note that with winter soon approaching, our priority at this time is coats, shoes, and socks for many people. These people lack the clothing needed to keep them warm, which will be especially challenging if the winter is harsh. Please pray the resources are received to get them all they need! Below is an updated snapshot of our needs as well as what we have received in donations (in red). Please praise Yahuah with us that we recently received all the funds needed for the worship center (another means of staying warm in the winter!), and prep work is underway both inside and out! This is a wonderful testimony! Back a few months ago, the WP ministry was able to provide funds for sewing machines for the women to both make their own clothing and offer clothing for sale as a means of substance, outside of working in the brickyards. Pictures of this can be viewed on the Gallery page down towards the bottom of the page.
We just received more pictures of the work they are doing with their new sewing machines, and the results are beautiful! The quality and color of the materials is dynamic and alive! We can only imagine the joy these women are experiencing while using their gift of creativity given to them by Yahuah to create beautiful things that can help provide for them and their people! Enjoy this wonderful testimony of great reaping that is resulting from just a few sown seeds! Praise Yahuah!! How exciting to have a goal and see it begin to come to fruition! This might be a little longer post, but it is oh so exciting and filled with pictures of blessing! We recently purchased a small plot of barren, dry land, with the intention of following biblical principles to transform it into a fertile garden that will feed the people! And this is exactly what is happening! Our master gardener, David K, is working with Jennifer in Pakistan to create this wonderful, long-term solution to the food needs in the nearby villages. This garden, along with the others we are working to create, will provide food, work, and and further substance to the people -- not to mention the wonderful feeling of having their own means where they can work together for the betterment of their people. None of this would be possible without our Father's blessings of the land purchase, gardening wisdom, and the willingness of the people to believe and act! We are also in the process of purchasing more plots and also working with Sheraz to lease land to help many of the villages. Seeing the sowing turning into reaping for such a deserving people is an absolute blessing!! The before and after pictures are a beautiful testimony to the miracles and changes that are happening in Pakistan... all through LOVE!! He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. Psalm 111:5 Land BeforeLand DuringLand After (we have growth!!)Today, Chand (one of the Pakistan leaders) shares pictures of some of the children and what a day in their lives looks like. What strong and courageous children they are, stepping up to do the work that usually is performed by adults. These children miss the freedom and carefree life of childhood, but by the grace and love of our Father, they endure! We love the children of Pakistan, and it is our goal to help change things for them so that they can be children as long as possible!!
If you are moved to help in any way, please visit our Donate page! Even a little makes a huge difference! We are continually receiving updates of wonderful things happening in Pakistan, including how people are giving their lives to Yahusha, prayers for healing are being answered, and how desperate needs are being met. However, some of the challenges in Pakistan are ongoing and require our continued prayer and assistance. While this ministry does not enjoy making frequent requests for resources, we feel it necessary to share the truth of what our brothers and sisters face in Pakistan -- and not just Pakistan, but in many places all over the world. They need us right now, and we want to be there for them! Because some of the challenges are ongoing, particularly with food and water, we are attempting to address the root of these issues and work out long-term solutions where the people can sustain meeting their own needs. This is also their desire, just as it would be ours if we were to be in the same situation. With that, we would like to share some pictures we received this week of the living conditions that need improvement. We would also like to share that one of our goals for a long-term solution is the leasing of land for growing food. The cost per acre for one year is $600, and the need is four acres. This would provide two harvests of food, money from selling some of the food to go towards the next year's lease, and also work for the women and children, which will get them out of the brickyards!! What a world of difference this would make! One of our Winning Pakistan leaders in the US is a master gardener, and he is already sharing his knowledge with the people! Once the land is leased, he will continue to work with them to teach them how to successfully grow their own food! This is once again the hand of Yahuah at work, and we give Him all the praise! Also, the following is an update on our overall current needs (updated from previous post on 10/21/21): CURRENT NEEDS/GOALS

We love to share the distribution of blessings amongst our brothers and sisters in Pakistan! To see their faces and know they are experiencing the joy of receiving is priceless!! Furthermore, to know that everything we sow into the Winning Pakistan ministry is going straight into the hands of those in need brings great shalom!
Below are pictures from a recent food distribution amongst the people! All praise to our Father for bringing this to pass!

On the heels of a massive Tabernacles gathering in Pakistan, new believers were baptized! And look at the happy faces during this time of celebration!
We love sharing testimonies and pictures of the happiness that comes from all that Yahuah is doing in Pakistan! And yes, He is doing much though this ministry and those who have given their time for prayer and teaching, as well as their resources! We are truly His hands and feet!
Look at these precious children who are more than excited to have a banana for dessert!

As winter approaches, our focus for providing help and assistance still remains on clean water, but now also a priority is coats, shoes, and socks. We have made some updates to our Donate page and would like to make everyone aware of the current needs so that you may prayerfully consider if and how you can help.
Giving to the poor is mentioned over and over and in the Word as one of the primary outcomes of our salvation, and it is so important and precious to the heart of our King! If you ever ask Him, "Yahusha, what can I do for you?" This would be one of the first things He would say, just as He did so many times in His Word! And how does He bless you for this? With the absolute joy of knowing you have pleased Him as well as given from your blessings to the "least of these" who represent Him!

Click here to see all the reasons that we are so passionate about giving to our brothers and sisters in Pakistan!
This post is of a very serious nature. We cannot stress enough the dire need of water systems to purify the water for specific villages. While some villages are doing well with the systems already provided, others villages are suffering greatly from illness and even death... all from contaminated water! This is a strong focus of our current giving goals. Please consider the pictures below and know they barely scratch the surface to represent the depth of the problem. Our brothers and sisters are suffering in ways we cannot understand and have never experienced! Please consider helping us help them!

Many of the Winning Pakistan teachers and leaders also met across the United States to celebrate the exciting time of Sukkot! We share pictures below of a Texas gathering that included camping, fellowship, celebrating, and even baptisms! It was a wonderful, heart-warming time for those who gathered!
This might be a longer post, because we would like to share much of what took place in Pakistan, this their first Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot)! The people came from far, as many as approximately 1500, to gather together in different groups to celebrate this most important appointed time!
First, to gain a birds-eye view to one of the celebrations, look at the videos below and watch the Spirit move in the people! The people of Calendar Club viewed via Zoom with virtually no dry eyes in the group! What a blessed movement of our Heavenly Father on His people all over the world! Glory HalleluYah!!

Now we will share several beautiful pictures of a beautiful celebration, and we pray you are blessed to see this!
Today we share the fruit of faith and baptism! This man was recently baptized in the name of Yahusha our King, and he has now discovered that his symptoms of kidney failure are gone and he is much better! Faith, even the size of mustard seed, in the promises of our Heavenly Father Yahuah will always bring about His glory in us! Praise Him for His faithfulness!!
This woman just recently heard the message preached by one of our teachers about repentance. She confessed her sins and repented and is happy to tell us about it! This is the dream of both the teachers and leaders here and there with the Winning Pakistan ministry! Now is the time of repentance and restoration! Halleluyah!!
We are thrilled and excited to continue to post about the successes of adding more new water filtration systems in some of the villages where unclean and unhealthy water was causing many problems for the people. Something that seems this simple has had a very big impact on the people, and they are relieved and very grateful.
For those of you have donated to this ministry, we all thank you so much! You, along with the caring hand of our Heavenly Father, make this possible!

Glory glory to Yahuah - He provides!!
Many of our brothers and sisters in Pakistan have experienced the terrible symptoms of drinking unclean water, which in some cases has been their only option. Specifically, the people of the village of one of our leaders (Jennifer) have recently been sick from the water, even with serious conditions such as typhoid fever.
BUT we praise the Father, as He has moved His people to give, resulting in the installation of another brand new water filtration system in this village! The people are recovering and enjoying the pure living water provided through the Father through His hands and feet across the sea! What an honor and blessing!

Our brothers and sisters in Pakistan continue to send us testimony after testimony of healing and answered prayers! These special people have faith! They believe Yahuah is who He says He, and they believe His word as little children! They believe He has come to rescue them! They do not have the "distractions" that we have here in America... they are focused and full of faith! Their testimonies are such blessings to us! May we all take in all that is happening there and seek Yahuah's face asking that our faith to continue to grow right alongside our Pakistani family!

This woman shares that her daughter-in-law has not been able to have a baby. Brother Kevin and the people prayed for her, and after some time, Yah gave her the blessing of a son! Before the baby was born, the doctor said the delivery would not be normal and an operation would be required. The people prayed again long with Brother Kevin. Today she had a normal delivery without an operation. Yahuah heard the prayers and answered them! HalleluYah!! | This man shares that his mother had cancer, so he began to pray every day for her. Through his prayers, he came under the blood of Yahusha, and Yah changed his life, He did not have any of the word or truth of Yahusha, but he met with Asif and Kevin and began to learn. He is totally changed today and prays for other people! He says HalleluYah, and thank you brothers! |
Can you imagine your 5-6-year-old child working barefooted in the hot sun making bricks to help with the family's daily food rations? This is what our brothers and sisters see and live each day in Pakistan. This is their reality... a reality that we would likely struggle to endure. This is why we share; this is why we pray; this is why we make it a priority in our hearts to help in any way that we can... this is our responsibility as children of the Most High God, given to us directly by Him.
May these pictures touch our hearts and remind us of the hard reality from which we have have been so undeservingly sheltered, knowing that to whom much is given, much is certainly required (Luke 12:48).

We have two recent stories of wonderful deliverance and freedom! Praise Yahuah for honoring the prayers and faith of the people! We celebrate with you all and say HalleluYah!!
This man was delivered from alcohol and other "bad things". He received prayer and finally made the decision to release these things! We praise Yahuah for his deliverance and pray that he will now walk in perfect shalom! | This young lady was tormented by the enemy for some time. After prayers within the group and Brother Kevin, she is now free of the torment and also walking in shalom! Glory be to the Prince of Shalom! |
Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble;
thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

A picture speaks many words and melts hearts also! How precious to see the children praying and lifting up their hands to their Abba Yahuah!
Obviously there's plenty of talent amongst our brothers and sisters in Pakistan! Today we share some inspired drawings by one of our teachers in Pakistan, Jessica, and her sister, Meliks. The joy of Yahusha will always move and encourage us to share the love and creativity that comes forth from our hearts!
We've also heard from Ahsan today as he shares what's going on in his groups. We are always excited to see the zeal and love coming from our brothers and sisters, and with this post, we see the precious children singing and praising and then gathered together to eat! This is one of the things that keeps us going! Praise Yahuah!
