From Palm Sunday to Easter: A Journey of Hope with Yellow House Ministry PakistanNew Post

Yellow House Ministry Pakistan Report
by Adish Niazi

Greetings to our beloved online family,

I trust this message finds you all in high spirits. Apologies for the delay in updating you on our recent activities. Without further ado, let me share the latest updates from our ministry.

Palm Sunday Observance:

Palm Sunday holds a special significance in Pakistan for Christians, symbolizing Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem. This year, we organized a march for justice and peace, mirroring Jesus' procession into the city greeted by waving palm branches. The event was not only a commemoration but a call for all to welcome Jesus into their hearts and embrace His teachings. Additionally, our Palm Sunday service featured readings of the Passion, recounting Jesus' suffering and crucifixion.

Palm Sunday + Sunday School:

During our Palm Sunday program, we enlightened the children about the history and significance of the day. Witnessing their growing interest was heartening as they delved deeper into the story. Furthermore, we engaged them in worship action songs in Urdu, fostering a sense of reverence and joy. Afterward, we shared a meal, fostering camaraderie and love among the children.

Here are the locations of our Sunday schools along with some snapshots:

Palm Sunday + Community Walk:

Taking our celebrations beyond the church walls, we embarked on a community walk through the streets of our colonies. Singing worship songs and offering prayers, we extended invitations to people from all walks of life. This collective praise and fellowship reminded us that we are not alone in our journey of faith. Our community stands as a pillar of support, encouraging us to walk steadfastly in the path of righteousness.

Easter Celebrations:

Easter, the celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection, was marked with fervor and anticipation in our community. The early morning candle prayer, akin to the Easter Vigil, was a poignant reminder of Christ's victory over death. We lit candles symbolizing His eternal light and recounted stories of His empty tomb, symbolizing hope and new beginnings. The occasion was one of joy and renewal as we sang songs, prayed together, and reaffirmed our commitment to following Jesus.

Prayer Requests:

• Let us lift the families in the brickyard, facing various challenges in their lives.

• Pray for Peter, who is grappling with a difficult situation, having lost one eye and experiencing pain in the other. His access to medication is limited, posing a threat to his remaining eyesight.

• May God grant wisdom and understanding to the Sunday school program participants as they learn and share God's Word with their families.

• Let's intercede for the youth as they navigate through exam season.

• Lastly, let's uphold our churches across Pakistan in prayer, seeking God's guidance and protection.

In conclusion, let us continue to stand united in faith, spreading love and hope in our communities. Your continued support and prayers are deeply appreciated.
