Aid to Persecuted Christians in Pakistan

Pakistan’s Christian minority faces discrimination, violence, job loss and family rejection for their faith. Good Samaritan Ministries stands with the persecuted, providing emergency aid, legal support, pastoral care and practical love in the name of Jesus.

Aid to Persecuted Christians in Pakistan
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.Matthew 5:11
A costly faith

Christians in Pakistan are paying a price for their faith

Pakistan’s Christian population, around 1.6 percent of the nation, faces systemic discrimination in employment, housing and education. False accusations under unjust laws have destroyed innocent lives, torn families apart and forced believers to flee their homes. Many Christians in Pakistan are among the nation’s poorest because of their faith.

When a Pakistani accepts Christ or remains faithful under pressure, they often face immediate consequences: job loss, family rejection, community expulsion and, in extreme cases, violence. Good Samaritan Ministries exists to ensure no believer faces that alone.

We are the hands and feet of the global Church reaching Pakistan’s persecuted minority, with emergency food, legal aid, safe housing, medical support and the unwavering message that they are not forgotten.

The pressure

Three faces of persecution

False Accusations

Unjust laws carrying the harshest penalties are frequently misused against Christians, destroying lives, separating families and forcing whole communities to flee.

Job and Housing Discrimination

Christian families are routinely denied employment and housing because of their faith. Many work the most dangerous, lowest-paid jobs, sweeping streets and cleaning sewers.

Family and Community Rejection

New believers often face total rejection from their families and communities. Many lose everything, home, income and relationships, the moment they choose Christ.

Six ways GSM stands with the persecuted

Practical love in the name of Jesus

Emergency Food and Relief

When a family is expelled from their home or loses their income because of faith, GSM provides immediate food packages, shelter support and essentials.

Legal Aid and Advocacy

We partner with legal experts to assist Christians facing false charges or unjust persecution, providing representation, documentation and advocacy before the authorities.

Pastoral Care and Counselling

Our pastors visit persecuted believers personally, bringing prayer, the Word of God and the assurance that they are not alone. Spiritual care is as urgent as physical aid.

Safe Housing Assistance

Families forced to flee need immediate shelter. GSM works with partner churches to provide temporary and longer-term safe housing for displaced Christian families.

Medical Support

Persecution frequently leads to physical harm. GSM assists persecuted believers with access to medical care, hospital support and recovery.

Education for Children

Children of persecuted families are enrolled in our free Christian schools, so that persecution does not rob the next generation of an education and a future.
