Shahid & Meroofa planted the South Asian Community Church in September 2016. They envision reaching the Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu speaking peoples in Surrey/Delta, British Columbia. They are thankful for the great things God is doing through their ministry. They are witnessing His mighty hand as lives are being transformed by the power of the gospel. South Asians are very open to prayer, and they have certain requests. They have developed prayer groups at homes, and they are meeting weekly at the church on Friday for prayer and Bible Study. There are approximately 40 people who are meeting weekly on Sunday for worship.
Prayer Points:
- For God to prepare the hearts of South Asians in Vancouver to receive the gospel with joy and humility.
- For new believers to grow and remain steadfast in their faith while many experience harsh persecution from family and friends for leaving their ancestral religion. Pray they will be encouraged to persevere in the midst of trials.
- For the Pastor and Church Planters walk with God and for a healthy family life. Ask God for wisdom in making decisions that will impact the churches in the years ahead.
