Afghan Refugees Relief
The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan deteriorated dramatically in 2021, with significant consequences for the most vulnerable among the population. Even prior to the events of August 2021, the year had seen the highest number of conflict-related casualties on record and a striking decline in the security and human rights situation in large parts of the country. According to OCHA, close to 700,000 people (59 per cent children and 21 per cent women)1 have been newly internally displaced by conflict in 2021, bringing it to a total of 3.4 million displaced by conflict inside Afghanistan as of December 2021. The situation remains uncertain and may evolve rapidly. The upsurge of violence across the country in 2021 and instability has had a serious impact on civilians and, combined with hardships caused by political uncertainty and the economic and food security situation, may cause further displacement, both internally and across borders. This would add to the 2.2 million registered refugees from previous waves of violence, and a further four million Afghans of varying status including undocumented persons. Many have been generously hosted in Iran and Pakistan over the past four decades, with several generations of Afghans being born in exile.u00a0 The total number crossing into neighboring countries can be difficult to verify as undocumented Afghans may resort to irregular land border crossing points, in many cases due to restrictive border policies, non-registration, and limited information shared by the concerned authorities. As such, the overall number of Afghans in need of international protection is likely to be much higher.
Outreach Meetings
EGM is much keen for its outreach Ministry which is a great stimulation. We usually select true and zest full believers and shape teams of evangelists and send them in different areas like Jesus sent His apostles. One purpose of this ministry is spread the Gospel and also to distribute Holy Bibles for free of cost into gentiles. We also distribute tracts and religious literature. EGM also uses medical camps, adult education & gifts distribution etc as tool to reach those people for the Gospel sharing. It is our vigorously desire to win whole Pakistan for our Savior Jesus Christ. This can only happen when we fulfill with the great commission, when we learn the will of God because the only way to eternity is Jesus Christ u2013 The Lord.
Woman Meetings
Since Pakistan came into being, women in Pakistan have been put un-privileged for human right i.e. economic, social, civil, religious and political. They are being deprived of not only from the right to get education, but also the right to decide matters relating to her marriages and divorce. Often abuses are compounded especially to poor Christian girls and women are trafficked and subject to forced marriage, forced prostitution or exploitative work situations such as delimited labor. These scarcities are manifestations of discrimination against Christian women and girls in Pakistan. To enhance the knowledge of cruelties of society among young Christian women and girls, Poor and rich, EGM arranged the women meetings / ministry. In these meetings women are learning about human rights, how to defend themselves, Bible reading, sermons and how to pray for them and for their families. Many spirit filled evangelists till now came and taught our women.
Youth Seminars
Youth is the part of Christian community where many ministries are not paying much attention. As a result, Youth is disappearing from churches. But for EGM they are a real & genuine gift and asset. From the platform of EGM the young are working in various fields. They are becoming a brainwave for the generation next. We as a ministry organize Youth Rallies, Cricket Tournaments, Bible Quiz and other interesting programs to keep the young full of zeal & zest. They are being provided some junctures to learn the Bible from different means. Bible study on
regular basis is our main tool to bring them back into the Churches. Evangelistic Gospel Ministries (EGM), always seeks occasion to put youth in them so that they could learn some high-quality things according to the Biblical norms & principles. Our youth ministry is flourishing & young boys & girls are learning many useful values according to the Bible.
