His ministry responsibilities include evangelism, Bible teaching, Christian fellowship, church planting, discipleship, and spiritual encouragement for individuals and families.
We believe that the Church has an important responsibility to share the love of Christ and serve communities with compassion.
Secretary – Farzana Imran

Our Mission and Areas of Work
LEAD Ministries is committed to addressing both the spiritual and practical needs of vulnerable communities, particularly disadvantaged Christian families and marginalized people in Pakistan.
Our major areas of work include:
1. Evangelism, Bible Discipleship and Church Planting
We support Gospel outreach, Bible teaching, Christian fellowship, discipleship, and the development of local churches in underserved communities. Our objective is to nurture spiritually mature believers and strengthen Christ-centred communities.
2. Pastor Care Ministry
We recognize the challenges faced by pastors serving under difficult circumstances and with limited resources. Through prayer, encouragement, mentorship, training, and available ministry assistance, we seek to strengthen pastors and their ministries.
3. Women's Empowerment and Christian Fellowship
We support women and girls through Bible fellowships, education, discipleship, leadership development, practical skills, and awareness of their rights and dignity. We particularly seek to encourage and protect vulnerable women and girls facing discrimination, coercion, forced conversion, and forced marriage.
4. Freedom for Bonded Labourers
We are committed to addressing bonded labour, debt bondage, exploitation, and poverty affecting brick-kiln workers and their families.
Through our Release, Relocation and Rehabilitation (RRR) approach, we seek to support the identification of vulnerable families, legal assistance, freedom from exploitation, rehabilitation, and opportunities for a dignified life.
5. Human Rights and Religious Freedom Advocacy
We advocate Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB), equality, justice, and protection for religious minorities and vulnerable communities.
Our activities include documenting human rights violations, providing free legal assistance, raising awareness, and engaging with relevant authorities and international partners.
6. Child Evangelism and Sunday School
We support children's spiritual development through Christian teaching, Bible lessons, Sunday School activities, and Gospel outreach, encouraging children to grow in faith and Christian values.
7. Humanitarian Assistance and Community Development
We support disadvantaged families and communities through education, awareness, practical assistance, and initiatives that promote human dignity and social well-being.
Our Commitment to Religious Freedom and Human Dignity
We believe that every person deserves freedom, equality, security, and protection under the law, regardless of religion or belief.
We are particularly concerned about religious discrimination, persecution, misuse of blasphemy laws, forced conversion and marriage, bonded labour, exploitation, and violations affecting women and children in Pakistan.
Our commitment to justice is not limited to one religious community. We believe that protecting a person's rights and dignity is a universal responsibility.
We encourage mutual respect, religious tolerance, peaceful coexistence, and cooperation among people of different faiths and backgrounds.
Our Christian faith inspires us to serve others, defend the vulnerable, and promote compassion and understanding throughout society.
Our Commitment to Partnership and Support
We recognize that sustaining and expanding our ministry activities requires prayer, dedication, cooperation, and financial resources.
We warmly invite churches, Christian organizations, humanitarian institutions, human rights groups, international partners, and individuals to stand with LEAD Ministries.
There are many ways to participate in our mission:
