“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:37-40)
Our nonprofit exists to give hope where it is needed most. In Pakistan’s Christian minority communities, many children grow up without access to education or opportunity. Their families work hard, but poverty often closes doors before they even have a chance to step through them.
We support Christian schools that open those doors, giving these children a free education. These schools give underprivileged children a place to learn, grow, and believe in a future that looks different from the hardships they see around them. Every book, every lesson, and every encouraging word reminds them that they matter.
Your support helps us keep these schools running, keep classrooms alive, and keep dreams within reach. When you give, you are not just funding education. You are lifting a child’s spirit and reminding them that they are seen, valued, and loved.
Thank you for standing with us and for giving these children the chance every child deserves.
Another ministry outreach of Hope Alive ministries is supporting local churches. We want to encourage and empower Pakistani Christians to fulfill the Great Commission in this country where they are persecuted for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. We wish to bring encouragement to them as they love and win to Christ those who are opposed to the Gospel.
In August 2023 there was a devastating attack against the Christian community of Jaranwala . This was a sobering reminder of the hostile environment facing many believers in Pakistan. In response to allegations that two believers had desecrated the Quran, a violent mob burned 20 Christian homes, churches and set Bibles on fire. Many Chistian families lost all that they owned and their entire life's savings.
Pakistan’s notorious blasphemy laws are often used to target minority groups, but Christians are disproportionately affected. Indeed, roughly a quarter of all blasphemy accusations target Christians, who only make up 1.8% of the population.
Believers are targeted in other ways, too, both publicly and in subtly. The number of Christian girls are abducted, abused and forcefully converted to Islam (frequently backed by lower courts) is growing, while churches that engage in outreach are especially prone to opposition. All Christians are subject to discrimination, and occupations that are deemed low, dirty and degrading, such as working as a sewer cleaner or on a brick kiln, are reserved for Christians by the authorities. Many are referred to as 'chura', a derogatory term meaning "filthy."
Please pray for Christians in Pakistan as persecution threatens Christians throughout the country. Pray for front-line workers ministering to families who have lost everything. Pray that God will meet the needs of Christians affected by the violence. Pray that government leaders will intervene to protect Christians and that the attackers will be held accountable.
We invite you to make a gift to helping the persecuted Church in Pakistan.
Food Assistance to poor families
We are deeply concerned about the ongoing issue of families in Pakistan being trapped in a cycle of enslavement through debt. This vicious cycle perpetuates across generations, leaving families with no hope for a better future. In response to this critical situation, our organization is actively involved in providing essential support such as food, free Bibles, evangelism, and prayer to these affected communities.
However, we believe that more can be done to bring about lasting change. We are seeking your support to establish schools among the brick kiln families in these areas. These children are currently deprived of access to education, which further perpetuates the cycle of poverty and enslavement. With your generous contributions, we aim to provide these children with the opportunity to receive a quality education and break free from the chains of debt enslavement.
Furthermore, with adequate funding, we also plan to intervene by paying off the debts of these families. By alleviating their financial burdens, we can help them regain their freedom and pave the way for a brighter future for both parents and children alike. Your support can make a significant difference in transforming the lives of these families and breaking the cycle of debt enslavement in Pakistan. Join us in this noble cause and be a part of creating a better tomorrow for those in need.
