Introduction of the Gospel in Pakistan Was a Two-Year Journey

Thanks to a new partnership—and a two-year process—in Pakistan, we are now sharing the hope of Jesus Christ over the airwaves in the Pashtu and Saraiki languages. The journey to begin these broadcasts that are reaching thousands with the unwavering truth of the Bible began two years ago. Radio programming in partnership with the Pakistani Christian Recording Ministry began in early 2020. “In 2018, we identified four unreached people groups in Pakistan that do not have Gospel radio programming available in their own language,” said Don Shenk. “Our vision is to be sharing the Gospel with all four groups in their own language within the next five years. In 2020, God opened a door for us to take a major step forward by enabling our partner ministry in Pakistan to recruit ministry teams to record and broadcast radio programs and conduct discipleship activities in two of those languages.” One of these teams is working with and reaching out to the Pashtun people who live in the northern are...

Volunteers Crucial in Accomplishing The Tide Mission

For many, summer is a time to schedule vacations and take a break from work, but The Tide ministry activities around the globe continue as our partners engage to spread the Gospel. The regular recording and production of fresh radio programming for each of the 25 languages is a constant process, and so is the accompanying work of helping curious listeners become committed disciples of Christ through correspondence, literature distribution, personal contact and organized events. In many of the eight countries where The Tide ministry is active, there is an increasing trend of listeners preferring to make contact through phone calls and text messages instead of traditional mail. This opens the door to build closer relationships for discipleship, but also increases the need for more people who are available for face-to-face interaction with seekers. We are grateful that God has been helping our partners on the...

Christianity Is Unwelcome in Pakistan, But People Need the Hope of Jesus

The nation of Pakistan is overwhelmingly influenced by Islam, with 98.86% of the population Muslim, 0.88% Christian and 0.26% Hindu. But, for those who do not follow the Muslim traditions, life can be difficult. In early 2020, we began broadcasting the Good News of Jesus Christ in two languages in Pakistan—Pashtu and Saraiki. “Today, thanks to a partnership with the Pakistani Christian Recording Ministry, The Tide ministry is helping to air two programs every week for these people groups,” said The Tide Director Don Shenk. “The programming not only reaches new believers in Christ who have very few Christian resources in Pakistan and little to no support system, but also potential believers who have yet to hear what Jesus has done for them. The ‘Taza Galona,’ or ‘Fresh Flowers’ program, airs in the Pashtu language every Friday morning, while the ‘Hikmet de Moti,’ ‘Pearls of Wisdom’ program is broadcast each Monday morning to Saraiki listeners.” The Pashtun people in northern Pakistan ...
