Light Shining in Pakistan

I received this email today from Pastor Fiaz…

Dear Dr. Stephen E. Jones,

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

The Lord is using us in different parts of Pakistan for His glory. Our books and teachings are helping many people and churches in Pakistan to understand the deeper truths of the Holy Scriptures.

October and November have been very blessed months for us. I was invited to an annual convention where I shared biblical truths from your books. In addition, I have been receiving requests from several areas of Pakistan to visit their churches and teach their people from your books.

I was invited as a guest speaker to the annual program of Faith Vision Fellowship. People from different parts of Pakistan attended this program. I introduced them to God’s Kingdom Ministries and shared information about your books. I also distributed books among the people who attended the event.

One of my students in Sialkot invited me to teach a Bible class at his Bible school. I had the opportunity to teach the students from your book on the key words of the Holy Bible. I also distributed books among them.

We also organized a special program for children at our school. The purpose of this program was to introduce children to the Word of God and help them develop an interest in studying the Scriptures.

Testimonies from Readers of Your Books

I would like to share some testimonies that I have received from people who have studied your books.

1. Dr. Stephen E. Jones's book opened a new window for me in understanding the Holy Scriptures. It encouraged me not only to read Bible verses for their simple meaning but also to understand their background, connections, and deeper theological meanings. Through this study, I realized that the Bible contains many deeper truths that require serious research and continuous study.

2. A Deep Study of Biblical Feasts* was an extraordinary learning experience for me. These books helped me look beyond the historical and religious aspects of the Old Testament feasts and understand their biblical, historical, and Messianic significance. It helped me better understand God's plan of salvation and His divine wisdom through these feasts.

3. Dr. Stephen E. Jones's book opened new ways of thinking about the biblical concept of the Jubilee. Previously, I understood the Jubilee mainly as a historical and social law. However, studying this subject encouraged me to explore the deeper connections between freedom, restoration, inheritance, debt forgiveness, and the grace of God. This book is valuable for understanding biblical concepts in their wider theological context.

4. Studying The Feast of Tabernacles gave me a deeper opportunity to understand God's presence, His fellowship, and His dwelling among His people. Learning about the Tabernacle, the journey through the wilderness, and the Feast of Tabernacles helped me see many biblical themes from a new perspective. This study encouraged me to understand more deeply God's faithfulness and His relationship with His people.

5. Dr. Stephen E. Jones's writings helped me realize that studying the Bible should not be limited to reading or memorizing verses. We also need to understand their historical, linguistic, cultural, and theological backgrounds. These books encouraged me to ask questions, do research, and explore the connections between different parts of the Holy Scriptures. This study has become an important source of learning and spiritual understanding for me.

6. Through these books, I became more interested in understanding the connections between the Old and New Testaments. In particular, the subjects of biblical feasts, the Jubilee, and God's plan of salvation helped me understand the importance of studying the Bible as one connected and complete message. This learning journey has increased my desire for further study and research.

Please remember us and our ministry in your prayers. We are thankful to the Lord for His grace and for the opportunity to share His Word with people across Pakistan.

Thank you for your books, teachings, prayers, and continued encouragement.

In Christ Jesus,

Fiaz
