Pray for Pakistan Territory

Please pray for our territory's strategic priorities:

• Financial sustainability. We have moved towards financial independence and sustainability by promoting stewardship (including tithing) among our people, by careful financial management and by promoting enterprise skills at the community level.
• Discipleship. We are engaged in theological education development at all levels to equip soldiers and officers. We want prayers for spiritual revival in The Salvation Army in Pakistan as so many unregistered denominations are confusing our soldiery.
• Growth. We are looking to open new corps, societies, outposts and community services centres. Please pray for the new physical rehabilitation centre we are working towards opening.
• Relationships. We have developed new and existing relationships with government officials and with other churches, at both divisional and territorial levels.
• Leader development. We have developed officers through effective succession planning, leader development and refresher courses.
• Commissioning scheduled in April. There are 15 cadets from the Champions of Mission Session.
• The General's visit to Pakistan Territory planned for April.

May wisdom, clarity, and unity guide all decisions and actions.
