There are 184 million people living in Pakistan. Uncontrolled population growth and a massive refugee problem as a result of long-term war, together with a large-scale earthquake centered in the north of the country in October 2005, has greatly impoverished this nation.

The capital city of Islamabad has 1.1 million people. The official language is Urdu, with 69 other local languages spoken. Pakistan achieved independence from the British in 1947, followed by a number of military dictatorships.   

Pakistan is an Islamic republic with 98% being Muslim. Fundamentalist Islam, driven by the Taliban impacts the whole nation. There are less than 1% evangelical Christians in Pakistan. Christians face much persecution from extremists, including forced marriages, beatings, rape, vandalized or destroyed churches and the famous “blasphemy law” which allows the death penalty to anyone who insults Mohammed, and life in prison to anyone who damages a Quran. Even amidst such persecution, Pakistani Christians love their nation and want it to prosper. Courageous believers love those who persecute them and pray for God’s love to set people free.

God is at work in Pakistan. 360Serve supports national pastors and church planters for the growth and expansion of the local church in Pakistan.

Support a Pakistani woman evangelist

God is using women evangelists in Pakistan to show the movie, "Magdalena: Released From Shame" to hundreds of women and many of these women, who were once Muslims, are finding hope and Jesus as their Savior and Lord.

This movie depicts Mary Magdalene narrating the story of four women whose lives were transformed after coming into contact with a man named Jesus. The Magdalena movie is a powerful testimony of how Jesus values women as a precious part of His creation. The message of this movie deeply impacts the hearts of Muslim women, which is it's original intent, but it reaches all women! You can support a women evangelist in Pakistan for $50 per month.
