Dear Friend in Christ,
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for
the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" (Matt: 19:14)
These are the words Jesus Christ said around two thousand years ago, and we
all Christians believe that His words are for today, tomorrow and for all
the days to come. I do trust that we all Christians should have solemn trust
in His word and take it to be the same for today what has been said two
thousand years ago. The deplorable condition of the Christian Street
Children in the poor and remote area in Pakistan has, shown some vague
picture of the successors of Christ. The children look like lost sheep on
the roads and the streets. Many of the children have almost forgotten about
their childhood and are leading lives as the adults should live. They have
to earn for the families and lead their lives from five years to onward as
adults and never enjoy the pleasure of childhood; in fact they have, in the
long run of their lives, forgotten that they are the children, whom Jesus
has spoken about. I think and think again if they were the children whom
Jesus has asked to come to near to Him! No doubt that Christ has spoken of
the kingdom of Heaven and not of this material Earth which is to last for a
brief eternity; but still He promises our needs and the desires of our
hearts upon this Earth as well. He has promised us lands and riches upon
this Earth as well, according to His riches and glory.
Background of the Ministries and the Region:
Thess Ministries were raised up to work with the needy and deserving
Christian Street children in Sahiwal. We have five years of
experience for working with these children and we have done our level best
and we pray for God’s blessings to enable us accomplish what He has started
in us. The Ministries have her strong faith in God’s provision; His ways;
His becoming a man for us and His death for our sins. The Ministries are
working in Islamic State of Pakistan, where the dominant religion is Islam
and the Christian form 2% of the total population of 150 million people.
Jobs! Christians may Find:
The Christians are normally garbage men, daily wages laborers, maidens,
Brick Kiln laborers and workers for land lords. Very little number of the
Christians is able to study up to college and university level and those who
achieve their studies scarcely get opportunity to jobs by the government,
merely on the basis of discrimination.
Religious Discrimination:
It is noteworthy to explain the condition of Pakistani Christians over here.
Christians in Pakistan are much discriminated against on the basis of
religion; the Muslims will not mix with them. The Christians can not eat
with the same plates as Muslims do, and the Christians cannot drink with the
same glasses as the Muslims drink from. They are of the view that Christians
may contaminate their plates and glasses. In public hotels and restaurants,
Christians have to declare that they are Christians, so that they can use
the plates and glasses specially kept for the Christians, which are often in
bad condition. The syllabus for the children in government schools is also
discriminatory; these teach them that they all are Muslims, and that
Pakistan is Muslim country. Childern Growing On Faith Ministries are forced to study Islamic
Books. So, keeping all these facts in view, Childern Growing On faith Ministries
came into being to give the children a Biblical Education, along with Fair
Formal Education.
Weather Condition in Pakistan:
Pakistan is a country with harsh weather. It is extreme in summers and
extreme in winters. In summers the temperature goes to 52 Centigrade �?so
high a temperature when rich people turn their Air Conditioners and fans on
whereas the poor people and the helpless children are under the shadow of
the trees to soothe and ease their breathes and dry their sweat after much
labor and work.
Winter Season is more miserable because of the freezing air and cold wet
atmosphere outside the rooms. People need to burn fire with wood, coal or
gas to keep the rooms warm for the protection from the severe weather; the
temperature fall below 05 Centigrade. The poor children seek their warmth in
the laps of their mothers; but the tragedy is with the street / orphan
children who find no love and affection from a mother whose lap is warmer
than any fire and coal and gas. I assure you, saints, that your one warm
smile can let them feel warm here; your one symbol of hug can take all the
cold away from them.
Desperate Need:
We are in the desperate need of warm clothes, shoes, sweaters, coats,
shirts, gloves, warm caps, trousers etc. for 40 children aging from 7 to 15
years old. They are 22 girl and 18 boy.
Approximate Cost:
We need 26 $US for one child to buy one set of warm clothes, including shoes
and coat.
The total amount we need for them is:
26 * 40 = 1040 $ US for all the 40 children’s one warm clothes set, for
each.
Our Request:
Your donations are extremely needed and highly appreciated. Believe, your
help to the children with one set of warm clothes each, will help them to
get at least one warm set of clothes, shoes and coats. Please donate
generously and I assure you that this would be a nice gift for the children
for the event of winter season.
Matt 6:1 "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to
be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2
"Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may
have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 3 "But
when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your
right hand is doing,
4 "that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in
secret will Himself reward you openly.
Our Thanks and Consideration:
We all Childern Growing On Faith Ministries are so much grateful to you for taking
our request into your kind consideration.
May God richly bless you and keep you. May He smile for you and shine His
face upon you. May He send His angels upon you to protect you from every
evil!
Bye for now.
His Faithful Servant,
(Pastor Asif Masih Iqbal)
