INTRODUCTION

ST. LUKE MINISTRIES PAKISTAN


`For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows his riches upon all who call upon him. For, “every one who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.” But how are men to call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher? And how can men preach unless they are sent? As is written, “ how beautiful are the feet of those who preach Good News!”’
Romans 10:12-15

So true, for Pakistan, where Christian believers are living like non-believers. They believe in the Church doctrine and in the Christian statement, but their views are contrary, amazing isn’t it!
Now the question is why and how? Well the answer is well replied long time ago in the Bible. They believe in God but they don’t have faith in Him. We believe people have information but no knowledge, they know a lot about their situation but are not aware of the consequences.

Reasons:
• Illiteracy.
• Unemployment.
• Lack of healthy activities.
• Lack of spiritual guidance.

ST. LUKE MINISTRIES PAKISTAN.

“In as much as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us.” Luke 1:1

As ST. Luke, always anxious to detail reality, so that people may know the truth and do the right thing with clear conscious, in the same manner we want to get first hand knowledge of the people’s need and information how to help them out from their agony and how can you share the burden!
OUR VISION:
It all began with a vision, a young man from Youngsonabad village, in Punjab, Pakistan. Dildar Pervez, living in Lahore, the capital of Punjab (Pakistan), felt for the need of his people living in this remote area, where almost a 100 years ago a village (Youngsonabad) was founded by an English Missionary Rev. Youngson. Rev. Youngson’s vision was to have a place for Christians, where they can practice their faith without hesitation and in that way they will grow into a living witness in Christ Jesus for the Non- Christians. He wanted people to have proper education both religious and professional, he wanted people to feel good about their faith and belief, that, how to respect God and Savoir and their elders. He wanted people to grow in an environment of integrity and tolerance.
But with the passage of time and with the influence of the non-believers, people have become faithless and senseless. Great Commission has became a profession, something important for reasonable income. People have lost respect for responsibility. Education makes people to leave the village, unemployment force people to find job in the big cities and facilities in the big cities prevent people from coming back to help others in their need.
Illiteracy and lack of knowledge has made people unreasonable with matters. People have become mentally, physically and spiritually sick and this sickness has disturbed people socially and economically.
ONE OF INTERESTING TRUTH:
There is one Government Hospital in this one of the largest village in Punjab, Pakistan, (more like a clinic) but no doctor, the only doctor appointed is actually from the nearby small city Nankana, he prefer to practice in his hometown (Nankana), so people have to travel an extra 1hr. journey on the rough and narrow road for check-up. There are some so called clinics in the village run by compounders (village so called doctors) who mostly depend on their ideas about the patient’s health.
Now, because of the limited facilities in the Nankana city clinics and hospitals, most of the time doctors diagnose on their mere conceptions and kind of treatment has claimed 10 lives with major disease like TB, Cancer, Asthma etc. in the year 2006 from one of the largest village, Youngsonabad. Just imagine, what happen in the past.

SOMETHING INTRESTING:
People in the nearby villages are also taking interest in our mission designed for the benefit of their well being, because we are not keenly active in Christian community but also actively working among the other communities, e.g. Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus etc. Actually we have helped people in our neighborhood, who were from other communities also, people who were in real need. We are supporting some orphans in getting proper education, some poor families to become self reliance and also providing medical aid where needed apart from Youngsonabad and Martinpur. We are doing this for a long time and many people have benefit from our activities but it not an easy task to perform. Many a people who deserve sympathy, are unreachable. We need help in all manner.
FACTS:
1. We can’t save people dying from disease, but we can save them from infection.
2. We can’t diagnose their problem but we can arrange professional, honest and responsible doctors to treat people with passion.
3. We can’t afford their complete treatment but we can help them in whatever way we can.
4. We can’t give them new life but we can help them to maintain their present situation.
5. We can’t transform their minds and life style but we can give them awareness.
6. We can’t establish them but we can help them become self reliance.
7. We can’t give them good health bet can provide them with proper victuals.
8. We can’t make them intelligent but we can give them consciousness.
There are many things which we can not do, and more than many we can. See, Think and Act, what you believe you can do, to help them and to encourage us.
Our vision is to understand the real need of the people so to do what is necessary and urgent for them. There is a lot you can do to help these people who are waiting for a miracle.
OUR AIM:
We are doing our best , we want a proper clinic with all the necessary facilities so that people will not go an extra mile in vain. We want proper treatment and specialist doctors to diagnose people’s problem. We want to make an Awareness Centre, where people can understand their actual problem and their proper solution.
To know what you can do, please do write to us for more information and for our vision statement. We will be happy to reply you.
Thank you and God Bless you.
