Good Samaritan Ministries Pakistan

Our History

Good Samaritan Ministries Pakistan began as a simple, faith-driven response to a deep spiritual need: the hunger of many Pakistani hearts for the Word of God and the life-transforming message of Jesus Christ. From a humble start in 2009 to a nationwide ministry of church planting, Bible distribution, schools and social rescue, it exists to proclaim the Gospel in word and deed across Pakistan.

2009

The beginning: a miraculous start and a step of faith (2009)

Good Samaritan Ministries was founded in 2009 by Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir following a miraculous healing that changed the course of his life. In obedience to God's calling, he began the ministry by purchasing and distributing just five Urdu Bibles. That small, faith-filled act sparked a movement to make God's Word available to every Urdu-speaking heart in Pakistan.

From those first five Bibles, the Lord multiplied the work into a nationwide mission touching thousands of lives.
