Are Christians Allowed to Preach in Pakistan? – The Truth About Sharing the Gospel, Religious Freedom, and Church Planting in Pakistan

Understanding the Question: Are Christians Allowed to Preach in Pakistan?

“Are Christians allowed to preach in Pakistan?”  This question is more than curiosity — it’s a doorway into understanding religious freedom, the advance of The Gospel, and the growing mission of Church Planting in Pakistan.

For many believers, the Christian church is not just a building but a living movement of faith and hope, nurtured by ministries like Good Samaritan Ministries.

The answer is yes — Christians are allowed to preach in Pakistan, and through faith, obedience, and God’s grace, they are actively doing so. Despite challenges, the light of Christ continues to shine across the nation through passionate believers, dedicated pastors, and visionary Christian organizations working together to transform lives for God’s glory.

Religious Freedom and the Right to Preach in Pakistan

Pakistan’s Constitution provides every citizen with the right to “profess, practice, and propagate his religion.” This clause gives Christians the legal freedom to preach, worship, and build churches.

In practice, however, this freedom often requires wisdom, prayer, and discernment. Many ministries, including Good Samaritan Ministries, continue to thrive under this framework — sharing the message of Jesus Christ through service, compassion, and love rather than confrontation.

The preaching of The Gospel is alive in Pakistan because of faithful ministries that understand both the freedom and responsibility of proclaiming God’s Word in a complex society.

The Biblical Mission: Why Christians Continue to Preach the Gospel

Jesus commanded, “Go into all the world and preach The Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). This timeless command shapes the heartbeat of believers in Pakistan.

Under the leadership and spiritual guidance of Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir, Good Samaritan Ministries continues to pursue this mission by combining preaching with practical service — planting churches, training leaders, educating children, and distributing God’s Word across the nation.

How Christians Are Preaching The Gospel in Pakistan Today?

1. Church Planting and Local Outreach Ministries

Church planting remains one of the most effective forms of evangelism. Through the Good Samaritan Church of Pakistan, headquartered in Lahore, new congregations are being established in both urban and rural regions.

Each church becomes a center of worship, discipleship, and community transformation — where the Gospel is preached, believers are strengthened, and neighbors experience God’s love through acts of kindness and service.

2. Sharing the Gospel Through Christian Education

Preaching also happens in classrooms. Through Maranatha Christian High School (www.mchs.edu.pk), students not only gain academic knowledge but also learn biblical values and moral foundations.

Teachers and staff serve as examples of Christ’s love, showing that The Gospel is not limited to sermons — it is lived daily through compassion, integrity, and service to others.

3. Training Leaders to Preach and Teach the Word

The Revelation Bible College & Seminary, founded in 2018 Under the leadership and spiritual guidance of Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir, has trained over 1,000 students to become pastors, evangelists, and teachers.

Many of these graduates have gone on to plant new churches and lead Bible studies in areas where the Gospel was previously unheard. Training the next generation ensures that the message of Christ continues to spread across Pakistan for years to come.

4. The Power of Free Bible Distribution

Through the Free Urdu Bibles Project (www.FreeUrduBibles.com), Good Samaritan Ministries has distributed more than 150,000 Bibles in the Urdu language — freely and faithfully.

When a believer receives the Word of God in their own language, they gain the ability to share that truth with others. Every Bible given is another voice raised for Christ.

5. Using Music and Media to Reach the Nation

Music has the power to reach hearts that words alone cannot. Under the creative leadership of Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir, Good Samaritan Ministries has produced original Urdu and Punjabi Christian songs and melodies to communicate the Gospel in a culturally meaningful way.

These songs are used in worship, outreach events, and Christian television, reaching thousands with the message of God’s love.

Recognizing the Reality: Persecution and Challenges for Christians in Pakistan

While Christians are allowed to preach, we cannot ignore the persecution, discrimination, and difficulties faced by believers in Pakistan.

Many Christian communities face social and economic discrimination, limited access to opportunities, and at times, targeted hostility. Blasphemy accusations, threats, or pressure from extremist elements can make open evangelism difficult in certain areas.

Yet even in hardship, faith grows stronger. The perseverance of Pakistani Christians stands as a testimony that “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5).

Ministries like Good Samaritan Ministries work tirelessly to support persecuted believers, offering spiritual guidance, humanitarian aid, and education. Through these efforts, the Christian community continues to thrive despite the trials — not by fear, but by faith.

Good Samaritan Ministries and Its Partner Organizations Making an Impact

Under the united vision of faith and service, several ministries continue to work together to strengthen the Church in Pakistan:

Why Church Planting Is Vital for Preaching and Growth

Every new church planted in Pakistan becomes a beacon of hope. Church planting provides not only a spiritual home but also a platform for outreach, prayer, and education.

Through Good Samaritan Ministries, hundreds of pastors and evangelists are being equipped and supported to reach remote villages and underprivileged communities. These efforts ensure that every person, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ.

A Call to Prayer, Partnership, and Perseverance

The mission to preach in Pakistan continues through faith, courage, and global partnership. Christians around the world can join hands with ministries like Good Samaritan Ministries to pray, support Bible distribution, sponsor students, or help establish new churches.

Every prayer and every contribution plays a role in strengthening the mission of Christ in Pakistan. Together, we can help ensure that the Gospel continues to spread across cities, towns, and villages — reaching every heart in need of hope.
