📚🙌 PRAISE REPORT — THE LORD HAS PROVIDED! 🙌📚

We rejoice and thank God for providing new school book sets for children born into poverty and bonded brick-kiln labor. Hands once carrying bricks are now holding books, hope, and a future shaped by God’s grace.

📖 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11

Along with Biblical and formal education, these precious children still need daily nourishment.
🙏 $45 per month helps provide two meals each day, strengthening their bodies as God restores their lives.
Through your prayers and faithful support, chains of hunger, illiteracy, and generational bo***ge are being broken through the love of Christ.

💝 Please pray, like, share, and support as the Lord leads you:

🍞💔 ONE MEAL. ONE CHILD. ONE CHANCE AT LIFE. 💔🍞

🙏 $45 per month helps place food on a child’s plate twice a day—nourishing fragile bodies and giving strength to learn, grow, and hope.

📖 “He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry.” — Psalm 146:7

These children were born at brick kilns—into hunger, bonded labor, and generational slavery.
For many of them, this simple meal is not extra… it is everything.

Through God’s grace and the love of our friends, we provide such 100 precious children with:
📖 Biblical & formal education
🍲 Nourishment
👕 Basic care and protection
❤️ A Christ-centered environment

Together, we are breaking the shackles of slavery and replacing bricks with books, hunger with hope.

🙏 Thank you for being the hands and heart of Jesus to the least of these.
May God bless and keep you always.

📖 A Living Testimony from Pakistan

On Sunday, January 25, the Lord mightily used me to preach His living and powerful Word to around 50 precious believers in our roofless church, currently under reconstruction.

Though the church is temporarily covered with plastic sheets, the presence and anointing of the Holy Spirit were tangible and powerful.

🔥 CROSSING OVER INTO NEW BEGINNINGS 🔥
📖 Joshua Chapter 5
✨ New Year 2026 – A Prophetic Word ✨

On the morning of January 1, 2026, the Lord graciously used me to preach His Word for over one hour at The Church of Pentecost, Shahdara Lahore, to around 300 believers gathered inside and outside the church.
The anointing and presence of the Holy Spirit were powerful and undeniable. All glory belongs to Jesus Christ alone! 🙌🔥

🕊️ MESSAGE TITLE:

“Crossing Over into New Beginnings”

Just as the children of Israel stood at the threshold of Canaan after the wilderness, today we also stand at the doorway of new beginnings, new blessings, and fulfilled promises.

🔥 The wilderness is ending — Canaan is before us!

📜 A Brief Journey Through Redemption History
Over 400 years of slavery in Egypt

Deliverance through Moses
The blood on the doorposts
The Red Sea parted
The enemy drowned
The pillar of cloud by day and fire by night never left them
📖 Exodus 13:21–22
Even when Israel murmured, God remained faithful:
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
📖 Exodus 14:13–14
For 40 years in the wilderness, their clothes didn’t wear out, their shoes didn’t decay, and God supernaturally sustained them
📖 Deuteronomy 29:5

🏹 A New Season Begins

Moses has passed on.
Joshua is now leading.
A new generation stands near the Promised Land — blessed, yet unaware of the cost of deliverance.
⚠️ This is the danger of blessing without remembrance:
Easy come, easy go.
If we step into 2026 without gratitude for 2025, we risk becoming guilty of ingratitude.

🔑 GOD’S DIVINE ORDER BEFORE VICTORY

📖 Joshua Chapter 5
Before Jericho fell, God demanded preparation before strategy.
God commanded FOUR things — and they apply to us today:

1️⃣ CONSECRATION
Before entering the Promised Land, Israel renewed their covenant with God.
🔪 Circumcision was painful — but necessary.
👉 Today, it is the circumcision of the heart. (Romans 2:29)
“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.”
📖 Matthew 16:24–25
💥 No Cross, No Crown
💥 No Good Friday, No Easter
💥 No Pain, No Gain

If something does not glorify God — cut it off.
If something does not edify the Church — cut it off.
If something does not help you grow in Christ — cut it off.

2️⃣ CONFIRMATION
It was wartime — yet Israel obeyed God first.
🔥 When the pain was for God, the healing also came from God.
God does not use you greatly until He hurts you deeply.
Joshua discovered that victory does not come through human planning, but through submission to the Commander of the Lord’s army
📖 Joshua 5:13–15
“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord.”
📖 Zechariah 4:6
When we fall at His feet, He fights our battles.

3️⃣ CONTEMPLATION
“Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.”
📖 Joshua 5:9
God didn’t just bring Israel out of Egypt —
He had to remove Egypt from within them.
📖 2 Corinthians 5:17
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
🔥 You cannot be blessed in a new year while carrying last year’s wounds, guilt, shame, and bitterness.
✝️ You don’t need anyone’s validation — the Cross of Christ is your greatest certificate.

4️⃣ CELEBRATION
For 40 years, Israel had not celebrated Passover.
🔥 Passover means: “God saved me.”
🔥 His blood still works!
You may have lost a business — but you never slept hungry
You may have cried — but God never abandoned you
When Israel entered the land:
Manna stopped
They ate the produce of the land
👉 God wants to move us from survival to abundance.
📖 Psalm 34:8
“Taste and see that the Lord is good.”

🔑 2026 is a year of abundance, sufficiency, and blessing — believe it!

🌅 A PROPHETIC WORD FOR 2026
🔥 God is opening closed doors
🔥 He is bringing walls down
🔥 He is calling His people into greater purpose
Your wilderness was preparation — now step into His glory!

🙏 A NEW YEAR PRAYER
Lord, we dedicate 2026 to You.
Teach us to walk in obedience, humility, and faith.
May Your presence and power be revealed in every area of our lives.
In Jesus’ mighty Name — Amen!

✨ FINAL QUESTION
👉 Are you ready to CROSS OVER?
🔥 2026 is a year of promises, purpose, and victory!
✝️ If God is for us — who can be against us?

Praise the Lord for the mighty move of the Holy Spirit among all the believers.
The Word of God worked powerfully, and many committed to align their lives with the message they received.

🙏 Please continue to pray and partner with us as we serve the Lord across Pakistan.

🔥 OPEN HEAVENS IN A ROOFLESS CHURCH 🔥

📖 A Living Testimony from Pakistan

On Sunday, January 11, the Lord graciously used me to preach His powerful Word for over one hour to nearly 80 precious believers in our roofless church, currently under reconstruction in Nizampura, Sheikhupura.

Though we stood under plastic sheets, the tangible presence and anointing of the Holy Spirit filled the place mightily.

Hands were lifted, hearts were broken before the Lord, and lives were freshly surrendered to Christ. All glory, honor, and praise belong to Jesus alone! 🙌

After 70 years of Babylonian captivity, God stirred the heart of King Cyrus to release His people.
What captivity could not break, God’s Word restored.
“Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?”
Jeremiah 8:22
Even when people ignored the weeping prophet Jeremiah, God was still working behind the scenes, preparing a new beginning.

📖 Romans 12:1
🔹 Began rebuilding the House of the Lord
Ezra put God’s house first, before personal comfort.
📖 Ezra 3:10–11
👉 In 2026, when we seek God’s Kingdom first, He promises to take care of everything else.
📖 Matthew 6:33
“You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house.”
1 Peter 2:5

🔥 A MOVE OF GOD FOR NEW YEAR 2026

We praise God for the mighty anointing and tangible presence of the Holy Spirit in our midst.
The people committed themselves to reshape their lives according to God’s Word as they step into New Year 2026.
🕊️ When God starts a new beginning, no ruin can stop it.

🔥 CHRISTMAS MORNING WITH IMMANUEL — GOD WITH US 🔥
🎄 December 25, 2025 | Nizampura, Pakistan 🎄

On Christmas morning, the Lord graciously used me to preach His living Word for over an hour to around 200 precious believers in our roofless church currently under reconstruction.
Though the building lacked a proper roof, the heavens were open, and the presence and anointing of the Holy Spirit were powerfully manifested among the people. All glory be to Jesus! 🙌
We had to temporarily cover the church with plastic sheets, yet God reminded us once again:
His presence is not limited by walls, roofs, or circumstances.

✨ MESSAGE: IMMANUEL — “GOD WITH US” ✨
📖 “Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”
— Isaiah 7:14 | Matthew 1:23
Immanuel is not just a name — it is God’s very nature.
It declares that God does not abandon His people; He walks with them.

🌍 The Greatest Tragedy of Our Time: LONELINESS

Despite social media and technology, loneliness has become the modern epidemic.
But Christmas boldly declares the answer:
👉 Immanuel — God is with us!
📖 “It is not good that man should be alone.” (Genesis 2:18)
📖 “The Lord God was walking in the garden.” (Genesis 3:8)

Where God’s presence is:
✔️ Victory
✔️ Protection
✔️ Growth and success
Where God’s presence is abandoned:
❌ Fear
❌ Defeat
❌ Destruction

📜 WHEN GOD WAS WITH HIS PEOPLE — THEY TRIUMPhed

🔹 Joseph — From slavery to prime minister
📖 Genesis 39
“The Lord was with Joseph…”
Even the prison became a place of promotion.
Lesson: Circumstances cannot stop destiny when God is with you.
🔹 Moses & Israel — Deliverance and victory
📖 Exodus 3–14
The sea parted, enemies drowned, and God’s presence remained in the wilderness.
Lesson: Where God is with you, a way opens where none exists.
🔹 Joshua — Guaranteed victory
📖 Joshua 1:5, 9
“As I was with Moses, so I will be with you.”
Jericho’s walls fell.
🔹 David — Giant slayer
📖 1 Samuel 16–17
Weapons didn’t give victory — God’s presence did.
🔹 Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego — The fourth Man in the fire
📖 Daniel 3
They were not burned — the Son of God walked with them.
Lesson: Fire cannot destroy those who walk with Immanuel.
🔹 Daniel — Lions’ den turned into a place of protection
📖 Daniel 6:22
God shut the mouths of lions.
🔹 Nehemiah — Ruined walls rebuilt
📖 Nehemiah 2, 6
Despite fierce opposition, the wall was completed in 52 days.
🔹 Esther & Mordecai — A nation saved
📖 Esther 4–8
Though God’s name is not mentioned, His presence is evident everywhere.
Lesson: Even when God seems silent, He is still working.

⚠️ WHEN GOD’S PRESENCE WAS LOST — DEFEAT FOLLOWED
Samson lost his strength (Judges 16:20)
King Saul lost his throne and life (1 Samuel 16:14)

✝️ THE NEW TESTAMENT: IMMANUEL FULLY REVEALED

🔹 Jesus Christ — God among us
📖 Matthew 1:23 | John 1:14
Healing, salvation, miracles — God walked among humanity.
🔹 The Disciples — Weak yet victorious
📖 Matthew 28:20 | Mark 16:20
“The Lord worked with them…”

🔹 The Church Today — Immanuel through the Holy Spirit
📖 Acts 2; Acts 4:31
📖 Hebrews 13:5
📖 Romans 8:31
“If God is for us, who can be against us?”

🌟 CONCLUSION
When God is with us — we overcome
When His presence is lost — we fail
🎄 Christmas proclaims:
👉 Immanuel has come
👉 Immanuel is still with us today
📖 “If we are faithless, He remains faithful.”
— 2 Timothy 2:13

🔥 We praise God for the powerful anointing and tangible presence of the Holy Spirit among all the brethren — inside and outside the church.

🏗️ Prayer Request:
Our Nizampura Church is under reconstruction. Please pray and consider supporting us in completing the church roof, so God’s people may worship safely and with dignity.

🔥 Empowering Women for a Brighter Future in Pakistan 🔥

During our Two Weeks of Revival in Pakistan, Pastor Conrad Fenton (Sydney, Australia) visited our Tabitha Centre Pakistan — a vision founded by the godly Australian woman Luceille Outhred. 🇦🇺

This centre, birthed through prayer and compassion, serves as a vocational training hub for poor and illiterate bond-labourer women from the brick kiln communities — women who have lived under generational servitude and despair.

💖 Pastor Conrad shared a powerful message from Proverbs 31, prayed with deep anointing, and encouraged these precious daughters of God to rise in strength, dignity, and faith. ✝️🔥

Over the last five years, these once-marginalized women have learned to stitch dresses, school uniforms, and beautiful handmade garments — becoming skilled, confident, and hopeful for a new tomorrow. 🌸

Yet, they still need basic sewing materials — unstitched fabrics, irons, collars, threads, buttons, and other essential supplies — to keep their journey toward freedom and self-sufficiency alive.

🕊️ Every gift you give — big or small — helps break the chains of poverty and empowers these women to live with dignity, purpose, and hope in Jesus Christ.

Let’s stand together as the Body of Christ — shining His light into the darkest corners and lifting up these courageous women. 💫
