We wanted to update our supporters on the ongoing work in Pakistan. With T2S so engaged in Africa, the work in Pakistan can be overlooked. About two years ago Pastor Pervaiz (who is a church planter), his wife, and son were trained through Zoom in Tree of Life. They were very faithful to put it into practice and quickly formed networks of master trainers throughout different regions of Pakistan. There are now one hundred master trainers making disciples in Pakistan. There have been over two thousand new believers, along with baptisms, and new churches planted since the initial training nearly two years ago. Currently there are twenty training groups ongoing in five different regions. Some of these training groups are a result of the trainers working among flood victims over the last few months. Pakistan has had unprecedented monsoon rain from June to September of this year, effecting over thirty-three million people, many of whom have lost their homes and are displaced. The trainers have worked among the Marwadi people group who have been affected by the flooding. The picture above is a photo of a Marwadi family taken by one of the trainers. The trainers were among them sharing the Good News of Christ and meeting the needs of this Hindu people group. In one of the master trainer’s words, “the Holy Spirit convicted and convinced them of the truth of the Gospel.” At least two hundred of the Marwadi surrendered their lives to Christ. The trainers are now beginning Tree of Life with them. We praise God for His faithfulness. Please pray for these faithful trainers. Some are faithfully taking the Gospel to regions of Pakistan that are controlled by the Taliban. These are hard and dangerous places that only indigenous missionaries can reach. Thank you to all who support this ministry that enables T2S to train and send out these faithful workers. 

Two months ago, the Lord opened a door for T2S to begin training Tree of Life in Uganda. Dr. Daniel, who runs a Bible school in Uganda, heard of what the Lord is doing in Sierra Leone through Tree of Life and contacted our lead trainers there. Once he understood the basic foundations of the training, he requested the training be brought to Uganda. T2S sent trainers from Sierra Leone to begin the training that began Nov 29-Dec 3. Sixty-eight brothers and sisters who are leaders within the church attended the training from Uganda, South Sudan, and Kenya. Those from South Sudan and Kenya had heard about the training and traveled to Uganda to take part.  After the first day of training, the leaders realized that they had instead embraced a prosperity gospel. Dr Daniel, confessed to our trainers “that with theological education, including his doctoral degree, he has never learned anything like this…The time is for Tree of Life to be used now.” The Lord’s timing is always right. We pray the Lord will use this training to be a catalyst for revival in Uganda and throughout East Africa.
