Sam Returns To Pakistan E-mail
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In January 2007, Sam returned to Pakistan to continue his work with the people there. Upon arriving there Sam was met with many challenges. He moved back into his parents house, he began a long journey of readjusting to Pakistani life after 2 and a half years in America, he has also come to realize that the financial burden he is on his parents is great, they are having a very difficult time making ends meet, all of these adjustments are weighting on Sam.


There is tremendous need in Pakistan. As Sam let us know in a previous letter there are many Christian believers who are in need of medical attention but are unable to afford it, yet they continue to rely on God. Sam recently heard from a prisoner, Mr. Iqbal, thanking Sam for visiting and supplying Bible and reference material to further study the word of God. In Pakistan people are threatened by the guards when they visit prisoners who are sentenced to death so many of them have not received visitors for up to 12 years, but in the message of Christ they have found a hope. Sam is hoping to help as many Pakistanis that the Lord will allow to be reached.

Before Sam came to America he started a school. The school has about 30 students. The school meets in the church building which holds only 50 people. The children are learning at seven different levels which make it difficult to learn, yet 100% of children passed their tests to be promoted to the next grade. Some of the parents are admitting their children to others schools because the school does not have a proper building or teaching staff. Many Muslims are reluctant to send their children to a school that is housed in a Christian Church.

 

Sam's father has donated his land for a place to build the school. Sam needs $10, 000 dollars to begin the building of the school.

I know that this seems like a lot of money but if we join together it can be accomplished. Even if you can not give to this project in a monetary fashion, please pray for New Hope Christian Ministries of Pakistan and pray also for Sam and his family.
