The Outreach Foundation is pleased to share a wonderful story from our faithful partner in Pakistan: Pakistan Christian Recording Ministries (PCRM). 64% of Pakistan’s population is under 30 and increasingly becoming disenchanted with the economic, political, and religious systems in their country. PCRM is finding ways to reach the hearts of the majority population and working to deepen the connections with Jesus among believers. It is notoriously challenging work and is often met with threats and persecution. Every success is a significant triumph surrounded by prayer and God’s mercy.

We emphasize that point above the others because “clicking” on links is one of the primary social media metrics that indicate interest. It’s like that fish that nibbles on the bait and ultimately, we hope, will take it hook, line, and sinker.

Emmanuel, a Presbyterian pastor from Faisalabad, will build on PCRM’s legacy of witness among the majority Muslim population in rural areas of Pakistan.
