Holy Heaven Ministry (HHM) Pakistan began with the founding
of a church in Lahore, Pakistan, in 2003 by Pastor Aster John. After leading many to Christ, Pastor John
began HHM's first “Sunday School” (which actually meets every day of the week)
on 21 March 2012, for ten children who desired a basic education, in addition
to Bible instruction.
Those ten children were working along side their parents in
the Brickline, a construction company in Lahore. When we asked them why they worked there,
they answered that their parents were unable to afford their schooling and were
unable to feed them during the day.
Therefore, they worked at the factory in order to earn enough for one
meal a day each.
HHM and its team decided to open a small Sunday School at which the children
could not only get one free meal a day, but could also receive a basic education
along with religious instruction.
Before entering the Sunday
School, these ten children were unable to read or write, and didn't even know
how to pray. They lacked many things
because their families were so poor. But
when they joined the HHM Sunday School, they began to read and write within
only a few days. They also learned very
quickly how to pray. HHM, at its own
expense, also provided them with new shoes, along with instructional materials
and notebooks.
Below are some pictures of the
first students at HHM Pakistan's Sunday School
At first, HHM worked with only these ten children because of
their condition. But we had a desire to
help many other like them.
After a few months, these children were fully trained in
both their studies and their relationship with God. God had blessed them with two good teachers,
Anaam and Anushka, the son and daughter of Asher John.
After two years, attendance reached 41 children who wanted
to study and not have to go to work.
Nine of these children are orphans.
HHM provides them with a free education and a free meal each
day, along with spiritual instruction. A
brighter future is provided for them at our own expense.
So HHM is now working with more children than the original
ten, but they are all focused.
They are
present every day, we know each one personally, and they have all received
Jesus as their Savior.
We know that they
will become good sons and daughters of God because He chose them for His
worship.
They will go on to save many
others, just as they were saved in HHM Pakistan.
Now HHM is receiving requests from many other children who
want to join our Sunday School so that they may also receive the benefits that
we are providing for our current 41 children
We have received requests from 160 additional children so far, but we
are not able to accommodate them because of our limited space and funds. It is our vision to purchase larger facilities
and to be able to provide food and clothing for many more children, but we nned
your help.
It is our hope that many of you will be willing to help us
to reach many more children for Christ.
Please take this opportunity now to partner with us to help poor
children in Pakistan.
We believe that our method of reaching children is effective, especially in
reaching out to the poor. Our only
problem is sufficient income to achieve our goal. Please work with us to reach
out to bring poor Pakistani children to Christ.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
