Razia's Testimony

I come from a very poor family and despite that, in my local church I served as a Bible teacher. Since childhood I dedicated my life to God to serve Him entirely. My family members always discouraged me on serving God and to give more attention to formal education. Nobody believed in me or recognized the call upon my life.

When I started BEM ministries, I had no money but I stepped out in faith. It was God's blessing and favor that brought Mr. Pervaiz, a business man, to support my ministry financially. He came to my home one day and offered to support my ministry. Mr. Pervaiz is a very renowned business man in our city. Through him I was able to go public evangelizing and ministering on the streets and holding services openly.

One day I asked him how he knew I needed help and why he chose to come and help me? His response was, "frankly I don't know why but I feel compelled as if someone is forcing me to go and help". Hallelujah! That to me is God and what the Holy Ghost can do.

I know that the power of God brought Mr. Pervaiz to support BEM. Because of that, I had to endure great persecution from other ministries (churches) because of envy and jealousy. They worked against me and tried to sabotage my ministry. This they did by going on crusades convincing and forcing people and even members of my congregation not to attend my meetings.

Mr. Pervaiz is only 28 years old so some church leaders went as far as to his parents with lies about me just to influence them to stop their son from helping and associating with me and BEM. Mr. Pervaiz had to face intense pressure by his family against me. He stood his ground and follow what was in his heart and amazingly proposed to marry me. My family and I accepted his proposal.

BEM ministry is now three years old and has survived by God's grace and through the financial help of Mr. Pervaiz and Brother Adam. Mr. Pervaiz is a God loving man and has completed his theological training in a Bible School and has joined my ministry as a Pastor. This move has made his family turn their back on him. He chose to serve God and not money and is paying the price for that.

By God's grace our ministry is growing and we are seeking financial partners because we lack the funds to do the work entrusted into our care. As you know the Gospel is FREE, but to preach the Gospel cost money. We need your donations and gifts of any kind to help run this ministry to the Glory of God. Together we can take Pakistan for JESUS.

God bless you!
