Pakistan Trip Report | March 6–14

We’ve just come back from eight days in Pakistan, and it’s not easy to put into words what we’ve seen and felt. But we want to try, because it feels important to share it with you.

From the moment we arrived in Islamabad, something felt different. There was a quiet sense that God was already there, waiting, inviting. Even with the tensions in the region—conflict near the borders, uncertainty in different places—you could feel a deeper hunger underneath it all. People are longing. Not for religion, but for God Himself. For His presence. For something real.

Our first gathering was on March 8, in a Salt Mining area. Over 350 people came together, many of them carrying their own stories, their own questions, their own quiet pain. We spoke about the Father’s love, simply and honestly. And you could feel how it landed. Not as an idea, but as something people had been waiting for.

There was one moment we keep thinking about. A Hindu man was there, just listening, just present. And somewhere in that space, the love of God reached him. You could see it on his face. No pressure, no striving—just being met. Moments like that stay with you. What also struck us was that more than 20% of those present had already been part of a Father Heart “A School.” There is something growing here. Something steady.

On March 9 and 10, we gathered in a church in Islamabad. The first evening was special, but the second night… the room was full. There was a kind of expectancy in the air. And then something shifted. People began to encounter the Father in a personal way. Not distant, not abstract—but near. Known. Gentle. God was making Himself known, heart to heart. Not loud, not forced. Just real.

After that, we traveled to Karachi for two days of ministry at Catch the Fire churches. Many who came didn’t have much of a Christian background. Some were new to all of this. But there was such openness. It’s hard to explain, but sometimes you walk into a room and you can feel resistance. This was the opposite. Hearts were open. People were ready. Not because everything in life is easy, but because something in them is hungry for truth, for love, for belonging.

Our final day, March 14, was in a local church in a Christian area of Karachi. We spoke about the comfort of God—about what it means to receive His love right in the middle of real life. Not when everything is fixed, but right there in the struggle, in the questions, in the tired places. It felt like a gentle ending. Not a big moment, but a deep one. Like God was quietly meeting people where they are, bringing rest, bringing reassurance, reminding them they are not alone.

Throughout the whole trip, security was always there in the background. In many places, we were accompanied by armed guards. That reality never really leaves you. And yet, even in that environment, the light of Jesus was unmistakable. The believers we met carry something beautiful. Many of them live with pressure, with discrimination, sometimes even persecution. And still, there is joy. Real joy. Not loud, not superficial—but deep, steady, resilient. They are like small lights in dark places. And those lights matter more than we often realize.

Looking ahead, we are already planning a Father Heart “A School” in the mountains this coming October. There is a growing desire among the people to go deeper—to not just hear about the Father, but to really know Him.

We leave Pakistan with full hearts. Encouraged. Strengthened. And honestly, a little undone by what we’ve seen. God is moving here. Quietly, deeply, faithfully.

Thank you for standing with us. For praying. For being part of this in ways you may not even fully see.

Much Love
