Update from Pakistan

I received this email from Pastor Fiaz today, reporting on the continued impact that our teachings are having on the Churches and schools in Pakistan.

Dear Dr. Stephen,

Grace and peace to you in the mighty and glorious name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We hope and pray that your ministry continues to play a vital role in helping people discover the deeper revelations of God's Word. Here in Pakistan, hundreds of people are benefiting from this work and are growing in their understanding of the Scriptures.

During the month of June, the Lord used us in several different areas for His glory.

We conducted a meeting in Darowal Kang, where we taught people about the biblical meaning of numbers. During this gathering, we also presented Bibles as gifts to several individuals who opened their hearts to receive God's Word.

We also held a seminar in Jandoke Goraya, where we shared the message of the Kingdom of God and encouraged believers to understand God's Kingdom from a biblical perspective.

In the city of Gujrat, I was invited to speak at the Jefferson Leadership Institute Pastors' Seminar. During this event, I introduced all of our translated books and shared several testimonies about how these resources are helping people understand the Bible more clearly and deeply.

Since this is the season of summer vacations, I also conducted a one-month training course for the teachers at our school. The teachers attended throughout the month, receiving professional educational training as well as instruction based on your books and teachings.

Just yesterday, I was invited as a guest speaker at one of the largest universities in Gujranwala. I have been invited to return there again on July 10. I believe this is a significant door that the Lord has opened for us, and I pray that through this opportunity we will be able to reach many university students with the truth of God's Word.

Below are a few testimonies and comments that people have shared with us after reading your books and studying your teachings:

1. "Reading Dr. Stephen's books helped me understand God's sovereignty in a much deeper way. I now trust God's plan more confidently in every difficult situation."
2. "I studied The Restoration of All Things, and it encouraged me to think about God's love, mercy, and His purpose of restoration from a fresh biblical perspective. It also inspired me to study the Bible more deeply."
3. "Dr. Stephen's teachings taught me not to rely merely on traditions, but to examine every doctrine carefully in the light of Scripture."
4. "After reading The Kingdom of God, I realized that God's Kingdom is not only a future hope but also a present reality that should shape our daily lives."
5. "His research on biblical numbers, covenants, and God's law made many difficult biblical subjects much easier for me to understand."
6. "His teachings gave me a greater love for God's Word. I now study the Bible daily with greater interest and prayer."
7. "Dr. Stephen's books helped me realize that every one of God's plans is based on perfect wisdom and justice, which has greatly strengthened my faith."
8. "His writings helped me better understand the relationship between biblical prophecy, the Kingdom of God, and biblical history."
9. "Through his teachings, I have been encouraged to share biblical truth more faithfully with my family and my church."
10. "Dr. Stephen E. Jones's books have done much more than simply increase my knowledge. They have deepened my relationship with God and encouraged me toward greater spiritual maturity. I thank God that these teachings have given me a deeper love for Scripture and a greater desire to seek the truth."

Many more people have shared their testimonies with us, but it is not possible to include all of them here. Hearing these testimonies continually strengthens my own faith and reminds me that the Lord is using this ministry to transform lives.

Please continue to remember us in your prayers as we faithfully serve the Lord in Pakistan.

In Christ,

Fiaz Masih
