Update from Naeem & Ruby in Pakistan:

2011 ended with two fabulous ministry events, the Pastors Training Conference in October and Ministry trip to a Church in December. This particular tribe has been categorized as an unreached people group and they are schedule caste Hindus. Poor, oppressed, marginalized, underprivileged, and yet the Lord by HIS  abundant grace has established his church among this people. I am very, very thankful to the Lord for opening this new door of ministry for us. I will  attach some photos of both events for you.

Ruby and I praise God that 2012 has started with an answer to one of our prayers. We were praying for the provision of a house near the school where Ruby and our boys are. We were especially praying for a house on a walking distance from the school… A couple of months ago I borrowed Uncle Samuel's car and parked in the street overnight where we normally park our own car. But somebody damaged Uncle Samuel's car with sharp object. Repainting his car cost us about $50. We don't want our new car to be damaged like that, so we were searching for a house with porch. We really praise God that he has provided a place exactly as we had asked HIM for. The rent of course is higher than we pay now but we'll be saving a lot on fuel because Ruby and boys can walk to the school now instead of driving every day. We will move to our new house this Saturday. Please pray for a smooth shifting.

Pray for our girls orphanage in India. Here is a message we received from Nancy Anthony today: "Dear friends, this is an urgent prayer request!!! All my 13 kids have been so sick. They drank contaminated water. The bore well has dried up so we buy water, but the water which was brought was not clean and all of them were poisoned. Mona is very ill; please pray for her recovery. We thought we almost lost her, but the Lord has touched her and she is out of danger. This has shattered all of us. Please pray."
