South Asia

Haroon + Aster

The Great Commission calls us to take the whole Gospel to the whole world. Our mission in Pakistan and South Asia is to raise up a Spirit-empowered movement that reaches people groups, youth, women, and families with the transforming love of Christ. We are strategically engaging in Stage 1 pioneering works (INITIATE) where the Gospel has little access, while also partnering with existing Stage 2–4 churches (NURTURE, EXPAND, SEND) to strengthen, equip, and release leaders for long-term impact. Through evangelism, education, leadership development, and church planting, we are building bridges across borders and cultures. By investing in next-generation leaders, training lay ministers, and empowering women, we are creating pathways for sustainable kingdom growth. Our ministry is uniquely positioned as Pakistanis living in California who travel regularly back and forth, carrying resources, training, and encouragement to frontline workers in Pakistan and South Asia. We use universal cultural connectors—education, youth programs, women’s empowerment, humanitarian projects, faith dialogue, and community engagement—to create open doors where traditional ministry is restricted. These platforms help us serve unreached communities, strengthen local churches, and equip believers to boldly proclaim and live out the Gospel. This project exists to strengthen the work of God in South Asia by multiplying disciples, planting churches, and raising leaders who will carry the Gospel further than we could alone. We invite you to partner with us. Your prayers, monthly support, and special gifts will directly resource evangelism initiatives, leadership training, and church planting efforts across Pakistan and South Asia. Together, we can shine the light of Christ in some of the hardest-to-reach places, bringing hope, peace, and transformation to nations desperate for the Gospel.
