The direct mission of Grace Bible Church Pakistan is to serve a flock of Christians in Arifwala, Pakistan. 

Pastor Faisal John provides face to face teaching (Nov-Apr), and teaches using the Internet (May-Oct).

The ministry also sends teams of two men to the villages to serve Christian families living in remote areas.

Grace Academy English Medium School educates over 140 extremely poor children as a grace ministry. 

  GBC Pakistan also has their 3:16 Children's Home for orphans.

When in the USA, Pastor Faisal and his wife Carrie work with young people at various youth camps - including ours.

Finally, they distribute printed Biblical material in the Urdu language.

I got a name.

A father is a man who carries pictures where his money used to be.

There are few things more influential to the quality of our life than the kind of fathering we get.

Children who grow up without fathers are FOUR TIMES more likely to live in poverty.

The situation with our human father cannot compare to what happens to us when we’re born again.

Rom 8:12-13

Both statements in verse 13 are presumed to be true for the sake of the discussion.

They are directed toward two completely different categories of people.

Verse 13 is another description of the unbeliever followed by the believer.

Those who are putting to death the deeds of the body by the Spirit are God’s children.

Rom 8:14-17

Who your father is has a powerful influence on your identity and behavior.

Joh 8:41-44

In most cultures, a child assumes his status in society according to who his father is.

The Lord has special mercy and compassion for the fatherless, the orphan.

Deu 10:17-18

We look to our father to make a way for us in life.

And then take our hand and walk that way with us. Carry us when we collapse.

And slay any dragons that show up along the way.

Our human fathers don’t always deliver. Where can we turn to get it?

Gal 3:22-29, Gal 4:1-7

You are sons and daughters of God through faith in Christ!

God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, and the Spirit cries inside us “Daddy! Father”!!

Joh 17:11, Joh 27:25-26
