    Isn't Pakistan the country where we don't have any "traditional" (i.e.: Western white guys) missionaries? ...where the church is led by nationals? ...Pakistanis?

    Those numbers MUST be wrong.

    yup, a country that doesn't need the help from us in the way we think it does. And, probably done without church growth movement or seeker sensitive ideas. Probably done just by sharing the love of Christ....

    But most importantly, do they use loud guitars and drums in their worship?

    275 New Churches

    Leaders from the South Asia Field say, “Praise God, we were able to plant 275 new churches this past year in Bangladesh through our JESUS Film Harvest Partners teams!” Praise God indeed!

    That's another area that doesn't use Church growth movement methods either. Just the compassion of Jesus and his hands & feet to show the love of Jesus.

    I heard from my neighbor's cousin's wife's uncle's car mechanic that the Pakistani organ and piano schools are chock-full of students.

    Considering the political and religious climate, we can assume that the church does not dare do anything loudly
    "Fully embracing the Gospel, fully engaging the world"
