Apostolic Fire in Pakistan

PAKISTAN - May 22 to June 2, 2025

The Apostolic World Christian Fellowship (AWCF) ignited a fire across the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. In a nation where public conversion can invite persecution and house churches risk closure, the Name of JESUS was boldly lifted. This wasn’t just a trip. It was a spiritual earthquake.

This third and most expansive AWCF mission to Pakistan unfolded across three cities, multiple villages, and in rooftop meetings, open-air crusades, orphanages, and conference halls. Backed by the prayers of intercessors worldwide and the faithful giving of the AWCF 7,000 Club, the Gospel went forth in power.

“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth” (Romans 1:16).

Mission Impact Snapshot

Mission Timeline & Highlights

May 22 – Sialkot Leadership Conference

The first-ever AWCF event in Sialkot launched at Dr. ID Shabaz Memorial Church. Leaders gathered under a unified banner to receive apostolic doctrine and Spirit-led impartation from Bishop Samuel Smith, Apostle BJ Riley, Bishop Mike Lane, Pastor Steve Skiba, Evangelists John Pennington and Klaus Chavis, and Bishop Nathan Rose.

“And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints” (Ephesians 4:11–12)

May 23–25 – Lahore Crusades and Mega-Church Service

Hundreds gathered in healing services and revival meetings throughout Lahore. On May 25, Bishop Samuel Smith preached to over 6,000 at Anwar Fazal’s church, Pakistan’s largest.

Testimonies included miraculous healings, deliverance from spirits, and multitudes baptized in Jesus' Name.

“And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others... and he healed them” (Matthew 15:30).

May 26–27 – Faisalabad Leadership Unity Conference

The 1st Annual Leadership Unity Conference drew over 1,500 attendees. Apostolic teaching strengthened unity among independent pastors, igniting a wave of collaboration across organizations.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity” (Psalm 133:1).

May 28–29 – Orphanage & Village Revivals

The team ministered to orphanages, house churches, and village families. At ABH Church’s rooftop gathering, 23 were baptized. In a house-church led by teenagers, over 20 more were baptized, confirming that a generation is rising.

“Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength” (Psalm 8:2)

May 30–31 – Crusades in the Faisalabad Region

Two powerful crusades were held with Evangelist Nabila Saleem and Evangelist Sajjad Younas. One service continued past 1:00 AM as people waited in line to be baptized. Praise echoed across rooftops and fields alike.

“And they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls” (Acts 2:41)

June 1–2 – Final Crusades and Healing Campaigns

Victory Community Church hosted a dynamic close to the main tour. On June 2, a final healing crusade in Chak 424 confirmed Psalm 103:3 “He healeth all thy diseases.” Testimonies included restored hearing, deliverance from bondage, and families embracing the Gospel.

“And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up” (James 5:15)

Why This Matters

This mission didn’t take place in a neutral environment. Pakistan is an Islamic republic where public conversion to Christianity is viewed with suspicion, often resulting in social ostracization, threats, or worse. Yet the Gospel was preached boldly. Souls were baptized openly. Miracles occurred undeniably.

It was not merely a revival of feelings, but a revolution of faith. What God did in Pakistan was nothing short of apostolic, a fulfillment of Acts in the 21st century.

“And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations” (Matthew 24:14)

The early church took the Gospel into synagogues and pagan temples. We take it into street corners, rooftops, and village huts. This is not cultural Christianity. This is the Kingdom of God.

Leaders on the Frontline

These mission participants covered their own travel expenses (flights, hotels, etc.). Mission funds received by AWCF go directly to supporting ministry efforts at the destination. This includes crusades, training sessions, and outreach.

“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding” (Jeremiah 3:15).

Testimonies from the Field

Kingdom Work Continues

This was not a single crusade. It was the continuation of two earlier AWCF missions:

What began with dozens is now multiplying into thousands.

“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed” (Acts 19:20)

To Our Partners and Intercessors

Every prayer, every dollar, every “yes” made this possible. The 7,000 Club continues to fund outreach and water wells in remote areas. AWCF missionaries continue to go into unreached territories.

“How shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14)

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast... for your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 15:58)

Join the mission. Support the movement. Pray for the harvest.

To God be all the glory, great things He has done!
