Middle East Reformed Fellowship (MERF) partners with Westminster Biblical Missions (WBM) to support the witness of the Bible-believing Lahore Church Council.
Lahore is the capital of the populous Punjab province next to the Indian border.
Occasionally incidents arise from unwise personal conflicts or, more recently, radi-calised elements. Despite this, the church continues to grow and has now extended beyond Lahore. Five congregations have been established in poor areas in a semicircle around the populous neighbouring industrial city of Faisalabad. Thousands are also able to hear the Word of God faithfully preached in the Urdu language over cable TV and the Internet. These messages are aired in many Pakistani villages, areas of greater Lahore, Faisalabad, and even in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad. Responses are very encouraging, with most of the feedback coming from young adults who telephone or who visit churches as a result.
