Welcome
Greetings!
The Little Disciples of Jesus Ministry was raised up to work with the needy and deserving children in 2002 in Toba Tek Singh a small town of the Pakistan, and from there it expanded to four other small towns in Pakistan. We are now serving in five different areas.
Initially, this ministry was started by Javed Irshad alone who lives in Toba Tek Singh. And in the started with the group 10 children of his colony and now Ministry is working with more then 100 children from the five different groups of the different towns in Pakistan.
With the passage of time friends joined Javed, and now the group that works with the children is quite adequate in number to help in a better way. We are blessed to report that all the staff; Javed Irshad, His brother Anthony and younger sister Nazia and Samara Thomas, Mrs. Famida Victor, Mrs. Mujahida Amanat, and volunteers, are enthusiastic in fulfilling their respective duties. It is noteworthy to explain the condition of Pakistani Christians over here. Christians in Pakistan are much discriminated against on the basis of religion, the Muslims will not mix with them. The Christians can not eat with the same plates as Muslims do, and the Christians cannot drink with the same glasses as the Muslims drink from. They are of the view that Christians may contaminate their plates and glasses. In public hotels and restaurants, Christians have to declare that they are Christians, so that they can use the plates and glasses specially kept for the Christians, which are often in bad condition. The syllabus for the children in government schools is also discriminatory; these teach them that they all are Muslims, and that Pakistan is Muslim country. Christian children are forced to study Islamic Books. So, keeping all these facts in view, Little Disciples of Jesus Ministry came into being to give the children a Biblical Education, along with Fair Formal Education. | |
