On Day One of our visit in Pakistan, we spent the day getting to know our host PAK Mission Society. Watch our video blog, hearing from Rev. Dr. Tom Boone and Rev. Dr. Jim Truesdell, and be sure to come back as we will post our Day Two update soon!

Hear from Tom Boone, Associate Director for Missions, as he previews our upcoming trip to Pakistan

Our November visit to Pakistan with Presbyterian Education Board (PEB) did not come about easily, but nothing in Pakistan is easy. Systemic instability created by a chaotic political climate and questions regarding the spread of potential violence arising from the war in Gaza caused both us and PEB leaders to consider postponing the visit. However, it was determined we should go. We were energized to be with those boys and girls whose lives are being transformed through the gospel on account of PEB’s dedicated staff.

Tom Boone, Associate Director for Mission, visits with David and Susan Hudson, reflecting on our visit to Presbyterian Education Board (PEB) schools in Sangla Hill.

The team spent the day visiting the PEB boarding school and grade school in Sangla Hill.

Welcome to Day 2 with Presbyterian Education Board (PEB) in Pakistan. Today’s highlights feature Rev. Dr. Jennie Harrop (Cedar Creek Church, Sherwood, OR).

We spent the day in Martinpur, a Christian village in Pakistan. We visited PEB’s girls’ school, boys’ school, and Hope Center, an orphanage nested at the boys’ school.

Day 1 of our visit with Presbyterian Education Board (PEB) in Lahore, Pakistan. Associate Director for Mission Tom Boone visits with Cheryl Burke, Executive Director of Friends of PEB.

The Outreach Foundation team also visited Forman College Church, and Rev. Dr. Jennie Harrop (Cedar Creek Church in Sherwood, OR) preached.

The team expressed our gratitude to God for His provision of mercy during this visit and interceded on behalf of our many new friends returning to Iran.

Lee Brown and Melissa Mandala share their reflections about our concluding day of visiting the Iranian church in Izmir.

On Day 4, Josh Montoya and Becky Pruitt provide their overview of the day and how they see God at work in a 900+ house church network in Iran.

On Day 3, Kimmy Stokesbary Briggs shares her reflection on God at work through Forouzan’s house church network in Iran.

On Day 2 of our trip, our team participated in a Radmard conference. Radmard means “men of righteousness” and is a Christian men’s ministry in Iran. Reza, a Pars graduate, leads this ministry. The men gathered are living in Iran. Both teams shared stories of Jesus Christ at work healing us through lives marked by addiction, pain, anger, and shame.
