In a country of over 230 million people, Pakistan’s Christian community — estimated at more than 3 million — remains one of the most under-resourced faith communities in the world. Many believers attend church every Sunday yet have never owned a personal copy of the Bible. For most Pakistani Christians, purchasing a Bible is a financial impossibility. The average daily wage for many Christian families barely covers food and shelter, let alone the cost of a printed Bible. This is why the mission of distributing free Urdu Bibles is not a luxury — it is a necessity.
The Bible is the foundation of the Christian faith. Without access to Scripture, believers cannot grow in their understanding of God’s promises, and pastors struggle to teach their congregations effectively. In many rural areas of Pakistan, a single church may share one tattered Bible among hundreds of members. Children grow up hearing fragments of Scripture but never have the chance to read it for themselves. Good Samaritan Ministries exists to change this reality by providing free Urdu Bibles to every person who asks for one, no questions asked, no cost attached.
Our founder, Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir, often says: “The Word of God is not a product to be sold — it is a gift to be shared.” This conviction drives everything we do. Every free Urdu Bible we distribute is a seed planted in the soil of a human heart. We have witnessed firsthand how access to Scripture transforms individuals, families, and entire communities. When people can read the Bible in their mother tongue, faith becomes personal, prayer becomes powerful, and hope becomes unshakeable.
Bible poverty is a crisis that the global Church must address with urgency. If you believe that every person deserves the right to read God’s Word, we invite you to stand with us. Whether through prayer, financial support, or spreading the word about Bible distribution in Pakistan, your involvement makes an eternal difference. Together, we can ensure that no Pakistani believer is left without the Scriptures.
