Spiritual Landscape in Pakistan

Islam is the official religion of Pakistan and more than 94 per cent of the population would say they are Muslim. About 80 per cent of those are Sunni and the rest Shia. Hinduism is the second most followed religion. There is a small Christian community and several churches in the major cities.

Communities Where Christ is Least Known

Hazara

The Hazara are mainly Shia Muslims who have suffered greatly from terrorist attacks. They live in major cities in Pakistan. We continue to pray for opportunities to serve these people.

Drug-dependent youth

Huge numbers of young people, especially boys and men, are addicted to drugs and alcohol. There are very few places for those with little money who want to break free, and even fewer where freedom in Jesus can be found

Saraikis

The traditional homeland of Saraiki speakers is in central Pakistan, where SIM has been working with local churches for decades. The Saraikis are hospitable people, numbering around 20 million. We pray many will come to know the Lord.
