I born in Christian Family when I was teen age did not know the Jesus Christ lack of the fellowship with believers. Reason was only that there was no Church (building) no Pastor or any spiritual leader, because of the small village and uneducated.
All the people were nominal Christians and illiterate while I was 14, one of the Church Organization started the adult education welfare centre in my village. They were Pentecostal. I did not know God I was studying in 10th grade in school and three more Christian boys were only schooling with me from this village. I became anti pentecostal and organized a moment called “the anti Pentecostal moment”.
Many young boys and girls joined this moment we started to create the problems to the Pentecostal people. Many time I spitted on the faces of the Pastors and leaders and disturb while Church meeting was held and beaten with rod to the Church Ministers. But whenever the Church Minister saw me started to hug and loved me and always said to me Dear Ashraf Jesus loves you very much. But still could not understand. I always mocked and went away from the Lord.
One day the Church Minister invited me to attend the evangelistic meeting. He read one of the verse from the Bible Rev.20:15. Holy Spirit started to convince me. Although I have not accepted the Lord my personal savior that time I came back to my house. I started to think about my future. While I was sitting alone in my room at the night time at 11:30 on 10th August 1969 there was no electricity in my village at that time. Temperature of the heat was very high. I started to think think think and cried the tears came out from my eyes. I was saying “If there is any God or Jesus, please come down and help me. I don’t want to go into the lack of the fire”. My whole body was swetting. I cried more and more, while my eyes were closed I saw a bright light in my room specifically in front of the wall. There was written a verse from the Bible 2 COR 5:17 “If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away behold all things have become new. I could not understand at that time why this verse was written on the wall. I was just feeling that many evil spirits were going out from me. My heart and all the body was looking like new born baby. I could not sleep that night, was waiting the next rising morning. I was absolutely rejoicing and went to ask about this event. When I knocked the Pastor’s door in the morning, his family thought that Ashraf has come to create another problem.
Well, when the man of God saw me, he embraced me and told him what was happened with me last night. He was so thrilled and glad to hear from me and said me that Jesus has accepted you and forgiven you and he opened the Bible, read the same verse from the Bible. He taught me more from the word of God I was new creature. I stopped talking against Godly people and started to have the fellowship with believers. Then I became born again Christian.
VISION
I really praise God for His faithfulness and divine support of His love and mercy. One day on 6th April, 1971, I was praying about the future plans and I saw a vision that I was standing nearby the water pool. A person with white garments appears and came closer to me and advised to hold a bucket and long rob to tie with each other and told me to get the water from the pool and later I saw the many many small plants who were becoming dry no one was there to pour the water to these plants. This person said to me to pour the water to these plants. That they might become the greeny. These plants were in different colors then later God started to approve my vision. I joined the evangelistic team who was serving the Lord among non Christians. I served in this evangelical literature distribution team 1972-1977 then God gave me opportunity to serve Him in Bible correspondence school from 1977 to 1982. Then God gave me opportunity to attend the Bible college in abroad in U.K and returned back to Pakistan and started pioneer work and planted the many Churches and raised the young men, women for full time ministry. God gave me opportunity to serve in different countries.
