Stories from the Movement
From Congress to Kilns
How can renewed gospel conviction become practical compassion among communities too often overlooked?
For Pastor Irshad Younis in Pakistan, the Fourth Lausanne Congress was spiritually transformative. Inspired by powerful testimonies and biblical teaching, he returned home with new understanding of God’s heart for the nations and a fresh passion for the unreached. ‘My heart was deeply moved to serve the poor and unreached communities more faithfully.’
Since then, he’s launched two schools for brick kiln children, opened stitching centres for women and girls, and purchased land to build two churches. These efforts combine gospel proclamation with practical compassion. ‘My focus remains on reaching those who are still unreached with the gospel and showing them the transforming power of God’s love,’ he says.
