In this fourth step the apostle Peter took to successfully grow his ministry, we see what triggered all the cash to flow.
Peter's Principle #4: Grow in the spirit of one for all, all for God.
Peter and John were not lone rangers in ministry. According to Acts 4:23-31, they had a support base of “their own people.” Peter not only consulted with these ministry partners, but together they faithfully prayed for strength. As a result, the Holy Spirit empowered them so that they “spoke the word of God boldly.”
Seeing that Peter had healed the crippled beggar and hearing the preached Word of God provided the people both the physical evidence and spiritual prompting they needed to open their hearts and give. As Acts 4:32-35 reports, “all the believers were one in heart and mind." They "shared everything they had" and put all their money into the apostles’ ministry where “it was distributed to anyone as he had need.”
Today’s well-financed ministries have visible programs and vocal leaders boldly proclaiming God’s Word. Behind the scenes are faithful partners and prayers. The net effect is a comprehensive top-down, bottom-up approach. Divine blessings flow down from heaven as miracles and ministry are uplifted on earth.
People become believers, believers become supporters.
Are you and your ministry partners on one accord, praying together, publicly sharing God’s Word, and letting the light shine on your good deeds, to God’s glory?
Can you guess the fifth and last of Peter’s principles for ministry fundraising?

WE WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU ABOUT US THAT WE ARE ACTIVE IN PREACHING OF WORDS OF GOD AND SOCIAL WORKER OF CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
LOCAL CHURCHES OF LAHORE, SHEIKHUPURA, FASAILABAD PAKISTAN.
KINDLY SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY FOR THE MORE GLORY OF GOD ON THE EARTH AND MORE BLESSING OF HIS HOLY PEOPLE (BELEIVERS).
WE HAVE EXPLAINED BELOW ABOUT THE FAITH, PREACHING OF GOSPEL, MINISTRIES & PROJECTS AND OUR COMMUNITY SOCIAL WORKING FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.
Dear Coworker in Christ
Radiant Gospel Ministries in Pakistan ® is a self supported and Trinity based interdenominational. Our Ministry is a growing church planting and evangelism ministry in Pakistan. We have been commissioned to establish and strengthen 5,000 indigenous churches in Pakistan. In September 1997, God asked me to work in His chosen field Islamic Republic of Pakistan to win the millions of lost souls of this nation, and to plant a church in every out-reached community and least evangelized areas of Pakistan. As the result of this call and vision an inter-denominational, Spirit-led ministry was born. Since then we have been bringing a message of love, peace, and the hope of Jesus Christ to Pakistan.
Our vision is to reach the un-reached millions of Pakistan through Gospel Crusades, Evangelistic outreaches, Literature outreach, Mass media, Native missionaries and to plant a dynamic church in every out-reached community and least evangelized areas of Pakistan that does not have a Gospel witness. We train and equip native leaders of Pakistan, through leadership Conferences, training camps, Seminars and teaching materials such as books, audio tapes etc. We had also established a nation-wide Bible Colleges Network. We facilitate translation, production and free distribution of the faith-based books, Gospel literature & audio/video tapes and CD/DVD's. We also have a heart to establish strong mercy ministries to encourage and strengthen persecuted believers of Pakistan, who are fighting to survive for their faith.
I just want to thank you for reading this request and would like to request that with your moral and financial support we can win whole Pakistan for Christ, I would like to request that please share the vision with your loving and caring people with bringing the Lordship of Jesus to your nation of Pakistan. We believe together that God has called you and I to reach millions in our nation and our main goal in life is to serve Jesus Christ with gladness and to establish His Kingdom until the last breath of our lives. Amen.....
This is harvest time and the fields are truly white and ready for harvest. Let's take the message of God's saving and healing power to the ends of the earth and bring in a mighty harvest of souls for God's glory. Together we can make a difference in the lives of millions for eternity.
We would like to request you to take part in this greatest harvest in any Islamic nation. It will be a blessing for us to partner with you for His glory. Please pray for this Godly vision and join hands with us for national transformation under the power of the Holy Spirit.
So my dear coworker in Christ you can now see the big picture of the need to bring His word and unite with us in pray and support with financial blessings for soul winning in Pakistan for His glory.
May the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all now and forever more?
About Pakistan
Would like to explain some facts about Pakistan. Pakistan is the third largest Islamic nation in the world with more than 150 million souls. 97.2 % of the population is Muslim. Christians make up 2 % of the population and suffer more than any other ethnic or religious group. Pakistan is in the very heart of the 10/40 windows, the geographic area where 95 % of the un-reached people of the world live. Between India and Afghanistan, Pakistan is a strategic nation. After the September 11 attack, Pakistan has become the focus of the world. Pakistan is a country with different cultures, languages, people groups, economical backgrounds etc. Pakistan has a desperate need for assistance in evangelism, Church planting, literature outreach, leadership training and strengthening the local Church. 97 % of the newly planted churches and new believers need a place to worship and fellowship. A shortage of Bibles, Gospel literature, faith-based books, leaders and training material makes it difficult for Christians in Pakistan to grow in their faith and sustain relationship with Christ. More than a half of Pakistan's population has never heard about Jesus.
Pakistan is an Islamic country, ruled by Islamic law. Christians of Pakistan make a quite sizeable population with more than ten million souls. But they have to face religious discrimination, religious intolerance, oppression, social subjugation and economic deprivation. Therefore Christians are less privileged and backward. A growing body of believers continually struggles under government persecution, because it is officially illegal for Muslims to convert to Christianity. Since the country's blasphemy law was created in 1991, an offended Muslim can accuse a Christian on almost any grounds. False and arbitrary accusations of speaking against the Quran or Muhammad are a common practice by Muslim fundamentalists. In the persecuted environment of Pakistan, 90 % churches are not much established. Majority of existed churches need buildings for fellowship, they meet in open air. Native missionaries make great sacrifices for the sake of the Gospel. Many times they go without food and travel hundreds of kilometers just to bring the good news of Jesus Christ. In some parts of Pakistan, Muslim fundamentalists attack on them and forced to put off their work as well as faith. Please keep them in your prayers as they seek to faithfully serve the Lord.
Islam may be the greatest challenge before the Church in this century, but it may also represent the largest potential harvest. There are one and one-quarter billion Muslims in the world, nearly 25% of the world population. Most have never heard the Gospel of God's grace in Christ Jesus. Instead they follow a religion based entirely on works and judgment. If we don't bring the grace of God into that world, the hostilities of this decade will only grow and intensify. Politics will not resolve this issue; only the Church has the answer.
This is harvest time and the fields are truly white and ready for harvest. Let's take the message of God's saving and healing power to the ends of the earth and bring in a mighty harvest of souls for God's glory. Together we can make a difference in the lives of millions for eternity.
We would like to request you to take part in this greatest harvest in any Islamic nation. It will be a blessing for us to partner with you for His glory. Please pray for this Godly vision and join hands with us for national transformation under the power of the Holy Spirit.
So my dear coworker in Christ you can now see the big picture of the need to bring His word and unite with us in pray and support with financial blessings for soul winning in Pakistan for His glory.
May the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit is with you all now and forever more?

Our prayer is that every church and believer, regardless of denomination or theological leaning, will rise up and commit him or herself to the awesome task ahead.
Our mission is to reach "Every Nation in Our Generation." Our vision is for each city, village, and hamlet of Pakistan to plant at least two new churches every year. In order to fulfill this mandate, we need to draw on the combined visions, talents, prayers, contacts and resources of our ministries.
MINISTRIES
1- CHURCH PLANTING.
2- Prayer network ministry.
3- BIBLE COLLEGES
Pakistan is in a desperate need of new leadership. The new leadership can be cultivated through the true and sound Biblical standard. And Jesus Christ has shown us the true model known as "Discipleship".
Bible Colleges are a big project and we are working on it across Pakistan. Because we cannot go in all areas but if we will train the new believers for the Evangelism work they will be a helpful tool to reach to out reach. And they will be able to plant new churches in different parts of the country. And if don't have new leadership it is impossible to reach in all areas.
4- CHILDREN MINISTRY
Children are the great asset and heartbeat of our ministry. They are the coming generation and throughout the Holy Bible we are told that we should take care of our children. Therefore we should train and teach them about the All-Biblical teachings. Radiant Gospel Ministries is playing a vital role in this ministry. We are approaching to those who are neglected, abused, hopeless, and homeless living in very dangerous and critical situation.
We are visiting them twice a week and share the Word of God with them and in future we are interested to launch primary schools for their better and prosperous future. CAN Ministries is running many Sunday Schools to providing sound Biblical knowledge in interesting way.
5- YOUTH MINISTRY
Youth is the area where many ministries are not paying attention. Therefore Youth is almost vanished from churches. But for us they are a real gift for our ministry. They are working with us in various fields. And they are an inspiration for the next generation.
We organized Youth Rallies, Cricket Tournaments, Bible Quiz and other interesting programs to keep them bust to learn the Bible from different means.
Bible study is our main tool to bring them back into the Churches. Radiant Gospel Ministries have provided the plate form to youth to do some good things according to the Biblical standards!
6- WOMEN'S MINISTRY
For years, Women in Pakistan have been denied privilege of human right i.e. economic, social, civil, religious and political. They are denied not only the right to education, but also the right to decide matters relating to their marriages and divorce. Often abuses are compounded: poor girls and women are trafficked and subject to forced marriage, forced prostitution or exploitative work situations such as bounded labor. These deprivations are manifestations of discrimination against women and girls in Pakistan. Gender relationship is very traditional and many a times comes as an obstacle for development and equality of women.
We are thank full God that in our ministry women are conducting meetings, organizing different programs and also involved in training the youth and children. We are also working to uplift their living standard. And for these purposes we have launch Stitching Schools, Beautician Courses, hand made art courses etc.
7- OUT REACH MINISTRY
Out reach Ministry is our great inspiration. We have evangelistic teams and send them in different areas. We distribute free Holy Bibles in local languages, tracks and literature. We also use the medical camps, adult education gifts etc. as tool to reach those people.
It is our heartily desire to win whole Pakistan for our Savior Jesus Christ. This can only happen when we fulfill the great commission, when we learn the will of God
.
8- CONVENTION/CRUSADES
Conventions, Crusades, Seminars and Conferences are the tools for mass Evangelism. And we don't want to miss any opportunity to share the Good News of the Bible. Radiant Gospel Ministries organize these conventions, crusades, seminars and conferences in different parts of the Pakistan and invite hundreds of people to attend these programs. And in the programs hundreds of people come to God and accept Jesus Christ their personal Savior.
9- PASTORAL NETWORKS
Unity Obedience and love are the three basic keys to open the door of heaven. And unfortunately these three elements are missing in the Churches and among the Pastors. Rather than love, peace, unities Pastors are nurturing the jealousy, hate, backbiting and busy in leg pulling. We have to evangelize the whole world but we are wasting our times in this way.
We have a strong and good Pastoral Network across Pakistan. And we conduct fellowship meetings on interdenominational base every month in different parts of Pakistan. In these fellowships we pray for one another's needs. And God has blessed us all because Radiant Gospel Ministries provides the free bicycles; motor cycles, Evangelism Kits and different evangelical resources for the extension of the Gospel. The reason of this is that mostly Pastors are working full time as a minister and they have to feed their children and go into remote areas. So we take care of their needs. Because our believe is that united we stand and together we can win Pakistan for Christ.
Believe is that united we stand and together we can win Pakistan for Christ.
10- Adult & Child Education
Pakistan is one of the country which desperately in need of Adult and Child Education. It is in the top of list of third world country because of its illiteracy rate, which is only 39%. Unfortnately many progressive works have been done to improve and uplift the Pakistan and its economy but all governments ignored the major problem. Because to uplift any underdeveloped country the education plays a vital role.
And as you know that Pakistan is well known for its extremism and "Madras's (Islamic Schools)" so we intend to change this picture. Please join us to share the light of the education in Pakistan and in this concern we are focusing on Children, Women and men to educate them. And for this we are in need of new Schools and technical training centers.
