HOLY FIRE EVANGELICAL MINISTRY

Our Children Ministry is not limited inside the walls of a church but it in the streets of Pakistan. We determined to change the Muslim world with food and education (specially the Word of God). The Islamic Organizations take these children and feed them, cloth them and then use them for their religious purposes. Holy Fire Evangelical Ministry has desire to reach to these children before Islamc extremists reach to them. The need to see love by action not just by words. Help us to help the world by helping them.

According to a secular organization Savechildren.org, poverty levels have decreased by 10 percent since 2001 and over 80 percent of children ages 5-9 are enrolled in school. Yet life for millions of the poorest children and women remains one of hardship.  Many families cannot afford basic health care or education; families also do not send girls to school because there are few female teachers or the distance between home and school is too great.  The 2005 earthquake destroyed already-scarce health and education services and families lost homes, livestock and incomes.
