A TESTIMONY OF HEALING & HOPE
I will never forget what happened following our first ministry moment in Pakistan.
After both preaching our hearts out, we were led into one of the most ornate rooms I have ever been in. Decor splashed in vibrant color covered every inch of space. The walls were so tall you could loose your balance just looking at the ceiling.
But don't let this description fool you.
See—even the most simple of materials appear glamorous in the vivid color palette common to Pakistani culture. Decorative elements are almost always modest in nature, but you wouldn't know it by the faux sparkle and shine covering everything from a simple photo frame to plastic wall molding.
From the moment we set foot in this country it became clear: People in Pakistan have the most beautiful way of taking meager ingredients and transforming them into something beautiful.
At a distance you may think that you are looking at a one of a kind sculpture, or the most expensive of gemstones, but closer inspection reveals basic of materials made beautiful by an artistic touch.
For me, this is also true of the Pakistani people. They love colorful outfits, large costume jewelry, and vivid makeup. But, beneath the surface, they are grounded, humble, and respectful—usually wearing a huge smile that outshines everything else.
As I sat next to Joe, reflecting on the artistry that surrounded us, we were greeted by one of the church leaders. Although his clothes were more toned down than most, he had the kindest eyes and sweetest smile.
He stared at us with such an inquisitive look that I thought he was going to ask, "What are you crazy American's doing this far East?"
What he actually said startled me... He said, "I can barely believe it, but we are sharing testimonies right now. And one after another are testifying to how God healed them or spoke to them through your ministry. I don't know why you felt led to come here, but we are so thankful. I pray that God continues to bless your ministry."
Stunned by his words, I sat reflecting on what had just happened. I knew that people were being touched by the presence of God, but had no idea the magnitude of it. I could remember a little girl who was baptized in the Holy Spirit at the end of the stage (first picture below) and a man whose foot was healed (second picture below). One after one, the Lord began to flash people in front of my eyes who had been impacted by His glory.
In that moment, all of the challenges we faced getting to Pakistan just faded away. God had clearly sent us with the mandate of pushing back the darkness.
We went to Pakistan, not for masses, but to seek out the One.
Not for hype, but to carry hope.
And God blew our minds.
Here is a small snapshot of everything that God did through Generation Outcry in Pakistan.

AN UNLIKELY GUEST
One of our stops took place in the heart of a Muslim village. And, to our surprise, an entire group of Muslim leaders showed up to the crusade. An unlikely guest to say the least. They even sat in front during the introductions and opening ceremony.
Though they did not all stay the whole time, the fact that they were in the service at all is a huge testament to the Lord working among these people. In fact, this was the first mass meeting that had been held in this village.
By the end of the service, two Pakistani leaders had stayed AND EVEN CAME FORWARD FOR PRAYER! According to those with us, this was a very rare and special thing.
Later that night, we witnessed masses give their hearts to Christ, which was a beautiful sight to behold. But, the faces of those two Muslim leaders who came forward for prayer (upper right picture) will forever be etched into my mind.
For us, it is always about the One.
