Our worker in Pakistan, Asif Jamshaid, is directing a partnership of churches and organizations that is cooperating in relief activities. Our goal is to work with and through the local church wherever possible. Asif is a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Faisalabad and he has hired Waseem and his wife
“NAI ZINDGI” (New Life) Tent Village for Pakistan Earthquake Relief

(and child) to live in and manage the village through the winter. Waseem is a seminary graduate who has been involved in Muslim outreach and his wife is a medical nurse. Asif and his assistant Adeel (Minister of First Presbyterian Church of Abottabad) will also be staying at the village to oversee relief staff and teams.
The tent-village setting gives us the opportunity to establish relationships and follow-up with each family. One tent accommodates a normal size family of 4-6 persons. The food package (rice, sugar, lentils, tea, milk, oil, potatoes, onions, vegetables, meat/chicken (once a week) would be provided on a weekly basis. With the help of a portable medical clinic that International Aid has shipped a medical team is already caring for patients and another team follows in January. Please consider working with us to provide for these families this winter.
