Help Pakistani Brick Kiln Workers Rebuild Lives

Donation protected
Hello all, my name is Thomas. I would like to introduce myself as well as some friends of mine in Pakistan.

This is a Christian congregation of Brick Kiln workers in the Punjab Province.

The first photos are an example of how far our donations go to feed, cloth and provide educational resources for the children. A little goes a very long way!

I first contacted Pastor Naveed and his wife Sana back at the beginning of the co Vid event. I helped them then and have continued to stay in touch and send what I can when I can. Typically $300ish and let me tell ya, it really goes a long way in Rupees. To get to witness it from here warms my heart.

Sana sends me a prayer every single day.

In the past month they’ve received a Biblical amount of rain flooding their region. They can’t work as the Kiln is shut down.

Living on high ground where it can be found in tents. Some of the workers have debts with the Kiln as it offers loans.

They must be paid back and if not the consequences can be harsh. If you can’t pay them back due to sickness or injury and you have a family, they will have to work to pay off the debt instead…including the children!!

Pretty ominous the way the smokestack rises above everything else around isn’t it?

Point being, even when there is work, it is still a struggle to survive. Their living quarters aren’t much better than the tents, but they are without a lot of the necessities we are all used to and take for granted.

Also, being a Christian in a Muslim country has its own unique challenges. I’ve seen videos of beatings, some fatal. They risk a lot for their Faith.

So I am starting this charity to help those friends of mine and their peaceful family congregation.

This isn’t based on your own beliefs unless that’s what inspires you to help others in need.

This isn’t a religious movement necessarily, it’s a Human movement. Moments like this can resonate far and wide through positive energy
and it spreads like wildfire through open Hearts!

I’ve always been a bit of a “Doubting Thomas” as I question pretty much everything.

That said I’ve witnessed miracles, I pray in these crazy times around the world! Your prayers are a gift to them as well.

In closing, of course no amount is too big or too small. $5-$500+ all goes to the same place. Let’s help keep the children safe, fed and learning and growing up in hopes of finding a good job to support their families more comfortably.

I’d like to leave on this note. This was Sana’a reply to me after receiving my donation just after the flood waters rose.

“Greetings to you in the mighty and matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! ✝️
By the unfailing grace of God! and through your faithful prayers and generous support. we have delivered a large truckload of food supplies to the flood-affected families.
What the enemy meant for harm, God is turning for good! Together, we are bringing hope, healing, and the love of Christ to those in desperate need.
All glory, honor, and praise belong to the Lord who makes the impossible possible.
Thank you for your vital part in this great success. Your love and sacrifice are a living testimony of Christ’s heart for the suffering. May He richly bless and reward you for standing with us in this mission of mercy.“
