The Reach the Nations Team Gathers in Islamabad

Gary Finkbeiner and Peter Negron have once again traveled to Pakistan to minister in churches and to host a conference with the RTN teams from Punjab and from Sindh.

The picture above shows the men having just arrived at their hotel after traveling from their home towns through heavy rains and sometimes flooded streets. We were happy to hear of their safe arrival!

Today they began meeting together for teaching, fellowship, and discussion of various needs in the multiple villages to which they minister.

The conference will continue for three days and will include such topics as ecclesiology, the leader's prayer life, worship in the church, baptism, and communion.

Because of all the flooding in both provinces in recent weeks, they will also discuss the losses experienced in their churches and how these men and RTN can partner to help those in most need.

Over the weekend Gary and Peter ministered in churches in Islamabad. We have a few pictures of Peter at Prayer Tower church, pastored by Babar Masih. Zarish (our literacy teacher) is Pastor Babar's wife. Next to her is Manzoor Masih who works for minority rights through his role in the Pakistani government. Then you see Pastor Babar and, on the far right, Pastor Peter.

Here is Zarish helping to lead worship at their church.

Manzoor, a friend of Reach the Nations for many years, is given an honored position at Prayer Tower Church.

Please pray for this team as they continue their meetings and grow in wisdom and understanding as leaders of churches.

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. - Acts 2:42a
