Global Christian Businesses: Unite to Empower Persecuted Communities in Pakistan Through Collaborative Missions

In a world where Christian persecution persists, one powerful response lies not just in prayer, but in purposeful partnership. Imagine USA tech firms sourcing from Pakistani Christian artisans, European retailers importing handcrafted goods from Lahore’s faithful communities, or Australian companies investing in Karachi’s Christian-led startups. This isn’t just business — it’s Kingdom business. A humble plea to Christian entrepreneurs worldwide: unite with your brothers and sisters in Pakistan to build financial strength, create jobs, and ignite revival.

Pakistan’s Christian minority — about 2.6 million strong — faces daily discrimination, limited opportunities, and outright attacks. Yet, their resilience shines. Through collaboration, global Christian businesses can break the poverty curse, foster unity in the Body of Christ, and fuel missions that plant churches and educate the next generation.

The Persecution Reality: Why Pakistan’s Christians Need Global Unity

In Pakistan, Christians often endure job discrimination, social isolation, and economic barriers simply for their faith. Many work in low-wage roles like brick kilns or sanitation, trapped in cycles of debt and poverty. Attacks on churches and individuals, like the 2023 Jaranwala incident, highlight the risks. But here’s the hope: when the global Church unites, we reflect Christ’s command to “bear one another’s burdens” (Galatians 6:2).

This article is a heartfelt plea — not for charity alone, but for mutual empowerment. Christian businesses in the USA, Europe, Australia, and beyond: your success can be a lifeline. By importing Pakistani Christian-made products or partnering on ventures, you create jobs, build financial independence, and send a message: The Body of Christ is unbreakable.

Business as Mission: Turning Persecution into Prosperity

What if your company became a Business Mission for the Kingdom of God? The concept is simple yet transformative: collaborate with Pakistani Christian enterprises to import goods like textiles, handicrafts, leather items, or tech services. This isn’t outsourcing — it’s Kingdom investment.

For instance, Pakistani Christians excel in artisan crafts (e.g., embroidered fabrics, jewelry) and agriculture (spices, fruits). Global firms can source these ethically, ensuring fair wages and community uplift. The result? Persecuted families gain stability, churches receive funding for outreach, and you expand your supply chain with faith-aligned partners.

In persecuted nations like Pakistan, economic strength means spiritual resilience. Financially secure Christians can sponsor schools, aid the vulnerable, and plant churches without fear of survival struggles. As one Pakistani pastor shared, “When our people have jobs, they have hope — and hope fuels the Gospel.”

Opportunities for Collaboration: Imports, Jobs, and Kingdom Impact

Global Christian businesses: Pakistan is ready for partnership. Here’s how you can engage:

Start with imports. Pakistani Christian cooperatives produce high-quality items like leather belts, wallets, rugs, and organic produce. European fashion brands could import sustainable leather goods; USA retailers could stock faith-inspired artisan jewelry. This creates thousands of jobs, breaking poverty’s grip.

Next, joint ventures. Invest in Christian-led startups in IT, education, or agriculture. A US tech firm could outsource software development to Lahore’s Christian coders, providing training and fair pay. European investors could fund solar-powered farms run by persecuted families, exporting goods while combating energy poverty.

The ripple effect? Stronger churches. With financial backing, Pakistani ministries can plant more churches, establish tuition-free schools like Maranatha Christian High School, and distribute Bibles freely. Missionaries gain resources to reach unreached villages, turning persecution into proliferation.

A Humble Call to Action: Be the Hands and Feet of Christ

To my brothers and sisters leading businesses in the USA, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, and beyond: think bigger. Your profits can be plowed into the Kingdom. This is a plea from the heart — unite with Pakistan’s Christians. Collaborate, import, invest. Help end the decades-long curse of poverty born from discrimination.

Remember: we are one Body. When one part suffers, we all suffer (1 Corinthians 12:26). By partnering, you don’t just build businesses — you build the Church. Together, let’s make Business a mission that glorifies God and transforms lives.

A Personal Word from Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir

My dear global family in Christ, I write to you with a pastor’s heart — one that has seen both the fire of persecution and the light of God’s faithfulness. I plead for biblical unity (John 17:21) and love for the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:25–27). Christians in Pakistan are not begging for money — they are begging for business opportunities. They need partnership, not pity. They need trade, not just aid. When you import their leathercraft, source their textiles, or invest in their skills, you are lifting the persecuted Church and fueling the Great Commission.

Let us pray together: Father, unite Your people across nations. Turn our businesses into missions, our profits into planting, our partnerships into power for Your Kingdom. Bless every hand that reaches out to Pakistan’s faithful. May the LORD richly bless you — in your families, your firms, and your faith — as you become the answer to our prayers. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir
