“Bonded slaves are the most destitute in Pakistan.”
Every child deserves to know they are loved.
In May, International Women’s Ministries Pakistan and field director, Shazia Razzak, had the privilege of spending time with the children of laborers and daily wage workers, sharing the hope of the Gospel with some of the community’s most vulnerable families.
Through Bible lessons, encouragement, prayer, and acts of kindness, these precious children heard about the unfailing love of Jesus Christ. To remind them that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved, we also presented each child with a small gift.
The smiles on their faces and the joy in their hearts were a beautiful reminder that even the simplest expressions of God’s love can have an eternal impact.
We praise God for blessing this outreach beyond our expectations. Seeds of faith were planted, hearts were encouraged, and children experienced the compassion of Christ in a tangible way.
Thank you for praying, giving, and partnering with International Women’s Ministries. Together, we are bringing hope to children around the world and reminding them that they are never forgotten by God.
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19:14
A Note from Autumn Nims
CEO, International Women’s Ministries
“Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked.”
Psalm 82:3-4 (NKJV)
When God writes a story, He often begins at the moment of greatest need.
That is exactly how our partnership with Sister Shazia began.
A single mother and widow in Pakistan, Shazia lost her husband to alcoholism and was left to raise her family alone. In a culture where widows often have little protection or opportunity, women without a male provider can become especially vulnerable to exploitation, trafficking, and modern-day slavery.
But God had another plan.
At the very moment Shazia was faithfully answering God’s call to share the love of Christ with her own people, International Women’s Ministries was praying for the right missionary partner to serve in Pakistan. God brought our paths together, and it quickly became evident that He had orchestrated the connection.
Today, Shazia serves faithfully as both a teacher and a missionary, ministering to children and families with remarkable courage and compassion. Her vision is simple yet powerful: to hold at least two Gospel outreaches every month, sharing the love of Jesus and placing Bibles into the hands of new believers who are hungry for God’s Word.
This recent children’s outreach became much more than a gathering. It became a testimony to an entire community. Through Bible teaching, prayer, acts of kindness, and small gifts, children experienced the love of Christ in tangible ways. Their joy was contagious, their hearts were encouraged, and families witnessed the hope that only Jesus can bring.
Your prayers and faithful support make ministry like this possible. Together, we are defending the vulnerable, sharing the hope of the Gospel, and reminding people who are often forgotten that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved by God.
Only eternity will reveal the lives being transformed through the faithful obedience of missionaries like Sister Shazia. Thank you for standing with us as we continue to wipe the tears of women and children around the world and point them to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
