My Brothers and Sisters need your help, please read
This may seem insane, and if you think so; you may be right. But Please Read!
This story begins in a Buffalo Wild Wings… I had just came back from The Center of Global Action and I only had ten days at home till I left again. One night I met some friends at a Buffalo Wild Wings and while I was there I had someone reach out to me on Instagram.
His name was Sami John and said he was from Arifwala, Pakistan. He is 18 years old and takes care of 15 orphan children. He runs Sunday schools and feeds the poor. He then sent me dozens of pictures of him serving and the children he cares for. He proceeded to tell me that they were praying for me.
He then asked me if I would be able to give money to help him celebrate Christmas and provide clothing for the children. My Flesh immediately screamed “this is a scam” and I told him I was unable to give, which to be honest was the truth… money is tight…But when isn’t money tight..?
Later on, he sent me his paypal and the profile picture was some American. Once again my Flesh screamed “No, this is a scam, keep my hard worked money”. I then felt my Spirit move and prompt me to trust. So, I responded to him and asked about the picture. It turns out the man who runs the paypal account helps get the money out to him. BUT, once again that lying deceiver we call satan was trying to convince me not to trust. A few days passed…
Finally, I came to the conclusion, I will be obedient and I will help. What if this was for real? I sent 20$, which if i’m being honest was a lot for me at the time. And what happened the next morning shook me… this happened.
I ended up getting his whats app number, and he sent me more pictures. I was so excited at this point, I had to tell some of the boys I was with on my Mission trip about my Brother in Pakistan. We gathered the little we had and sent our Brother some more money.
On whats app, Brother Sami John and I have been talking. We have voice called and I wanted to see him face to face, so we video chatted today. The man is willing to give his all for the Lord. He is in love with Jesus and is willing to die for the spread of the gospel. He is hard at work serving in a country that is only 1 percent christian. He told me he had lost his sponsorship’s because his Facebook account got hacked. He is in need for financial help, as he is bold enough to reach out to people who claim to be Christians in the USA for help. I will give, I trust him, and most importantly I trust God. I am only 1 of 2 of his sponsors currently.
Sami John needs money to feed the orphans, to feed the poor and share the gospel to those who need it so dearly. He wants to build a church, so people can come together in his town to follow Jesus. He also told me he wants me to come to Pakistan one day to see the Church. I will tell you that Yes, I want to go to Pakistan, I want to support his ministry.
I ask that you will please reach out to him, Brother Sami John. His whats app number is +92 307 7910200 and his instagram is sami.john.568
Please, text him, call him, encourage him, pray for him, and if you can… give. Just contact him and say you are interested in partnering with him, or that you just want to get to know him first! The little you give will go a far way over there.
James 1:27 ” Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world”
Please look at these pictures, and pray. Reach out to me, if any concerns. Love y’all.
I admire how you put all your trust in the Lord! So inspiring Sam!!
Such amazing ministry that you are doing, Sam! These pictures warm my heart. South Asia is a place that when you visit it, you never lose that longing in your heart for. I will be praying for you, Sami John, and his amazing ministry. God can do all things! It’s amazing to see your trust in God and all that he is doing all over the world.
BEAUTIFUL! keep trusting the Lord and being obedient. love you brother!
