by GO! Pakistan Team
Global Orphan Relief recently launched its Church Mobilization initiative in Punjab, Pakistan, through the impactful Great Commandment Workshop. This transformative event, organized and facilitated by a dedicated local team, brought together 169 ministry leaders, equipping them to serve orphaned and vulnerable children with love and compassion.
A Gathering of Worship and Learning
The Great Commandment Workshop was a powerful convergence of worship, teaching, and testimony. The attendees were inspired by the vision of the initiative, which is rooted in the biblical mandate to serve orphaned children. The event featured testimonies from orphaned children, highlighting the struggles they face and the hope that support from the Christian community can bring.
Key presentations covered:
The biblical call to care for orphans
Government regulations on serving orphaned children
Understanding childhood trauma and its long-term impact
Personal testimonies of blessings from serving orphaned children
Practical ways for churches and individuals to serve orphaned children
Equipping Leaders for Impact
The heart of the workshop was to empower ministry leaders with practical knowledge and spiritual encouragement to take action. The event fostered meaningful discussions, allowing participants to share insights and ask critical questions about effectively ministering to vulnerable children.
Commissioning of GO! Ambassadors
One of the most significant moments of the workshop was the commissioning of 48 attendees as GO! Ambassadors. These committed leaders pledged to serve orphaned children within their communities, ensuring that the impact of the Great Commandment Workshop extends far beyond the event itself.
Looking Ahead
The launch of Church Mobilization in Punjab marks the beginning of a movement that seeks to ignite a passion for orphan care across the region. With these newly commissioned GO! Ambassadors leading the way, the message of hope and love for orphaned children will continue to spread, bringing transformation to lives and communities.
Global Orphan Relief remains committed to supporting local leaders in this mission, providing the necessary resources and guidance to make a lasting impact. As more churches and ministry leaders engage with this vision, we anticipate seeing a growing network of care and advocacy for orphaned children throughout Pakistan and beyond.
The journey has begun, and with faith and dedication, the Church in Punjab is stepping up to fulfill the Great Commandment in a powerful way.
Global Orphan Relief (GO) has been serving orphaned children since 2005. We have accomplished this work through local partners in each country that provide oversight and distribution of care through three care initiatives; Home-Based Care, Education, and Nutrition. In 2022, we launched our Church Mobilization Initiative by which we are mobilizing the local church to care for orphan children. Last month, we impacted 20,209 children in seven countries in Africa & Asia within these four initiatives.
Beyond the financial commitment of co-hosting Great Commandment Workshops, this effort is Indigenous, self-propagating, and self-supporting. Our objective is to engage local churches to expand our GO! network, mobilize the church body to serve orphaned children, and advance the Kingdom through demonstrating the Gospel to others. Through these workshops, we are:
Church Mobilization is our newest initiative launched in February 2022. We are currently working with local area churches to co-host Great Commandment Workshops where we bring together multiple subject matter experts to discuss the why and how to serve the poor generally, and orphan children specifically. We track the impact of children served through this through local GO! teams in each country.
We have co-hosted and facilitated thirty workshops in Africa & Asia where we have hosted more than 5,000 ministry leaders. At the conclusion of these workshops, we have been honored to commission more than 4,000 GO! Ambassadors. GO! Ambassadors are those who have received the call to serve orphan children in their communities during these one-day workshops and have made a commitment to serve children in their community. We encourage them in their journey to serve others each month. In addition, we do provide additional training and encouragement through our online Great Commandment Academy.
In January 2025, this GO! Ambassador Network served 17,549 orphan children.
