Church Planting in Pakistan
Since 2009, Good Samaritan Ministries has been leading church planting in Pakistan, establishing communities of faith from the streets of Lahore to remote villages where the Gospel of Jesus Christ had never been heard.
For 50+ years they worshipped in a 10 by 10 room. Today a beautiful church in Pakistan stands for 300+.Church planting in Pakistan
Church planting in Pakistan brings refuge, community and hope
Pakistan is one of the world’s most challenging mission fields. Christians make up less than three percent of the population, often facing discrimination, persecution and isolation. Church planting in Pakistan provides not only a place of worship but a refuge, a community and a permanent centre of hope.
Since 2009, under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir, Good Samaritan Ministries has led church planting across hundreds of locations, from the streets of Lahore to the most remote villages where the Gospel of Jesus Christ had never been heard.
"We believe the Great Commission calls us to go into every corner of Pakistan. Our vision is to plant a church in every city, town and village of this nation." Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir
Six pillars of church planting in Pakistan
Every church we plant is built on these six foundations, rooted in Scripture and responsive to the spiritual needs of Pakistan’s people.
Spreading the Gospel
Church planting begins with bold Gospel proclamation, through preaching, evangelism and free Urdu Bibles reaching every community we can.
Fostering Faith
Discipleship and Bible study that deepen the faith of new believers, turning them into committed disciples and trained leaders who plant the next church.
Building Hope
Church planting brings hope to the marginalised: the poor, the persecuted, widows, bonded labourers and first-generation Christians across Pakistan.
Transforming Lives
The Gospel of Jesus Christ transforms families and communities, breaking cycles of poverty, discrimination and fear one life at a time.
Embracing Community
Each church planted becomes a community centre, a place of belonging, support and collective witness in neighbourhoods across the nation.
Grounded in God’s Word
Every church plant is anchored in Scripture, with each congregation equipped with free Urdu Bibles and leaders trained in God’s Word.
Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.Mark 16:15
Mark 16:15 is the mandate driving every act of church planting in Pakistan. Revival, evangelism, free Urdu Bibles: everything we do flows from this single command. Pakistan has over 255 million people. We will not rest until the Gospel reaches every one of them.

We train, we equip, and they go and plant
Revelation Bible College & Seminary, founded in 2018, provides full theological training: systematic theology, evangelism, church planting strategy and pastoral leadership. Every student is equipped with free Urdu Bibles, ministry resources, mentorship from experienced leaders and practical church planting experience before graduation.
Over 1,000 graduates have been trained, equipped and sent out, now planting churches, leading congregations and advancing the Gospel across the nation.
Every new church receives the Word
Every church we plant receives free Urdu Bibles for its congregation, so that every believer holds the Word of God in their own language from day one. Our free Urdu Bibles programme has placed over 150,000 Bibles in the hands of believers across Pakistan.
Free Urdu Bibles are the fuel of revival. One Bible can spark a house church, equip a new believer or transform a community, which makes them inseparable from our church planting mission.
