Church Planting in Lahore
Church Planting in Lahore, Pakistan is at the heart of our mission. Since 2009 Good Samaritan Ministries Pakistan has planted and nurtured congregations in key areas of the city, equipping believers, transforming lives and expanding the reach of the Gospel in one of Pakistan's largest and most influential cities, as part of the wider Church Planting in Pakistan mission.
The genesis of church planting in Lahore
Lahore, the cultural and spiritual heart of Pakistan, has been central to the mission of Good Samaritan Ministries since its inception. In 2009, following a miraculous healing, Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir felt a divine calling to dedicate his life to spreading the Gospel. This commitment led to the establishment of Good Samaritan Ministries, with a vision to plant churches across Pakistan, starting with Lahore.
Establishing the headquarters: a milestone in Lahore
In 2017 Good Samaritan Ministries purchased land at Haji Park #1, Anum Road, Lahore, a significant step in the mission. The first service was held in a rented building on October 22, 2017. After years of dedication and community building, the congregation moved into its own church building in 2024, establishing a lasting presence in the city.
The headquarters serves as a central hub for outreach, training and discipleship for the congregations across Lahore and for the wider church planting work in Pakistan.
