From Trials to Triumph: How God Uses Your Pain to Prepare Your Crown | Good Samaritan Ministries Pakistan

On Sunday, 30th November 2025, we witnessed a historic and unforgettable day at the Headquarters of Good Samaritan Ministries Pakistan. For the first time ever, our Sunday Service was held on the newly developed open ministry land beside our church building in Lahore. The morning was cold, believers sat on the floor, wrapped in shawls and blankets, yet every heart was filled with joy, unity, and gratitude. For months we prayed, prepared the ground, and completed the necessary work to make this land suitable for worship.

What began as a small step of faith has now become a beautiful reality. Hundreds gathered under the open sky, lifting their hands to Jesus, thanking Him for giving us space to worship together again.

From Trials to Triumph – The Word Shared on This Blessed Day

Pastor Naeem Nasir shared the powerful message: “From Trials to Triumph – Your Pain Is Preparing Your Crown.” Trials are not a sign that God is angry. They are not a sign of abandonment. Instead, every trial is preparation for the crown God has planned for His children. Even this land, this cold morning, and the limited seating reminded us that God turns every hardship into a miracle. When we had no space left in our building, God opened a bigger door. When we could not grow inside, He expanded us outside.

Headquarters Expansion – The Lord Keeps Enlarging Our Territory

Our headquarters church in Lahore, built in 2017, is now completely full. For the last several years, during Sunday services and Friday Healing Services, believers have been sitting on stairs, in the gallery, on the floor, and even standing outside the door just to be part of worship. We thank God for growth—but our hearts have longed for a space where no one ever has to stand outside again. Since 2023, the Lord has helped us buy every available property around the church:

• The left-side land (now developed and used for overflow services)
• The back-side building
• The right-side newly purchased building

This month we completed the paving and development of the left-side open land, making it ready for worship. Today, that vision came alive as hundreds worshipped under the open sky. Our long-term vision—placed on Pastor’s heart the day he gave his life to Jesus—is to build a

beautiful headquarters branch that seats 1,500–2,000 people.
A sanctuary where thousands worship Jesus freely, comfortably, and together.

That dream is becoming reality step by step.
