Umair in the village of MehnIdiabad (October 23, 2020)

Umair with a nice group at a brick factory in Mehndiabad (about 18 km west of Gojra). The patriarch of this group, in white, is Brother Patros. Umair preached about repentance to know God.

THE APOSTLES' CREED

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

JOHN 3:16 IN ENGLISH, URDU & PUNJABI

JOHN 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.'"
جان 3:16: "کیونکہ خدا نے دنیا سے اتنا پیار کیا کہ اس نے اپنے اکلوتے بیٹے کو دے دیا ، جو کوئی بھی اس پر یقین رکھتا ہے وہ ہلاک نہ ہو بلکہ ابدی زندگی پائے۔"
ਯੂਹੰਨਾ 3:16: "ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਦੁਨੀਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਇੰਨਾ ਪਿਆਰ ਕੀਤਾ ਕਿ ਉਸਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਇਕਲੌਤੇ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਨੂੰ ਦੇ ਦਿੱਤਾ, ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਕੋਈ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਉਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਉਹ ਨਾਸ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ, ਪਰ ਸਦੀਵੀ ਜੀਵਨ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰੇ."

UMAIR'S TESTIMONY

Umair was born in 1995 in Gojra, Punjab state of Pakistan.

Umair attended government and Catholic schools.

He was born again as a Christian in 2013.

After that, Umair spent his time:

*Studying and learning God's Word,

*Being involved in a prayer group with other young men, and

*Ministering to the villagers around Gojra, his home city.

Through Umair, the Lord led or helped lead the young men in his prayer group to Christ.

Since then, he has continued to minister to the poor and orphans and reach others for Jesus Christ in this ancient, exotic land of Pakistan among the villages of Punjab state.

Punjab is one of Pakistan's largest states and is home to over 12,000 villages.

Umair has a heart for the people of Pakistan, especially the village people near Gojra. He also has a heart to do a work for the Lord.

As his Christian brother and pastor friend, Daniel from America, I can testify that Umair has a strong faith, a love for the Word of God, a very gentle and loving spirit and he is an excellent witness for Jesus Christ.

THE NICENE CREED

Other than the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed is likely the most universally accepted and recognized statements of the Christian faith. The Nicene Creed was first adopted in A.D. 325 at the Council of Nicea. The Roman Emperor Constantine had convened the Council of Nicea in an attempt to unify the Christian church with one doctrine, especially on the issues of the Trinity and the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ. The Nicene Creed reads as follows: "We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. “And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end. “And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen."
