Pastor Jamil Masih’s Ministry in Pakistan
Opening Scripture:"Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble."— Psalm 41:1
Pastor Jamil Masih, a dedicated member and volunteer of Jehovah Saints, has shared photos and updates about his congregation and ministry work in Pakistan. He is doing mighty work in a challenging environment, ministering to those in need and advocating for freedom from the oppressive conditions faced by brick kiln workers.
Through his "Project Freedom," Pastor Jamil is working to free families trapped in the cycle of debt bondage and slavery. He has requested prayers and financial support to help release these workers and their children from the harsh conditions of brick kiln labor so that they can live in freedom, educate their children, and worship God without hindrance.
1. The Plight of the Brick Kiln Workers
Pastor Jamil has highlighted the struggles of the brick kiln workers, who endure extreme hardship under oppressive conditions:
Debt Bondage: Many families are trapped in a cycle of debt, unable to pay back the loans they owe to the kiln owners. This debt forces them into a form of modern-day slavery.
Harsh Working Conditions: Workers must endure extreme heat and grueling labor, often for very little pay.
Lack of Education for Children: Children are unable to attend school because they must work alongside their parents to help repay the family’s debt.
This situation is a stark reminder of the injustice and oppression faced by vulnerable communities.
Scriptures on Justice for the Oppressed:
Proverbs 22:22-23: "Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life."
Isaiah 1:17: "Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow."
2. The Biblical Call to Help the Poor and Oppressed
The Bible repeatedly calls on God’s people to care for the poor, defend the oppressed, and work for justice. Pastor Jamil’s ministry is a living example of this calling.
Helping the Poor:
Proverbs 19:17: "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done."
Matthew 25:40: "The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’"
Freeing the Oppressed:
Psalm 82:4: "Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
Luke 4:18: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free."
Pastor Jamil’s vision to free these workers from the bondage of debt aligns with God’s heart for justice and compassion.
3. The Vision of Project Freedom
Pastor Jamil’s "Project Freedom" aims to:
Pay off the debts of brick kiln workers: This will release them from the cycle of debt bondage and allow them to live in freedom.
Provide education for children: Freeing families from debt will enable their children to attend school and pursue a better future.
Empower families to worship God freely: Without the burden of slavery, these families can glorify God and live lives of dignity and hope.
Scriptures on Freedom and Hope:
Galatians 5:1: "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
