It’s Palm Sunday, 2024, and this is an update; The greatest ‘miracle’ and revival I’m experiencing is the rate at which our Freedom School System children are learning.

Regarding physical healing miracles ; I am but one man, and in another man, a brick yard man, ( now free and on our team of leaders) I had sensed a kindred spirit, and a healing gift of the Spirit of God in him. He’s commissioned, traveling daily from Brick Yard to Brick Yard praying over every type of ailment. Many people have been cured and devils cast out. Eventually I’ll have a separate blog about the man we call our ‘Brick Yard Bishop’, Salamat Mash.

I had come to Pakistan for the first time August of 2020 to pay the ransom – buy freedom for 13 indentured families, in debt bondage to Brick Masters. But the first night in Kasur, I was told I would be preaching. I wasn’t prepared for this.

My new friend and interpreter, Nadeem Masih Gill, lent me this yellow T shirt. I didn’t think it appropriate to preach in a ‘Merferd’ shirt with cut off sleeves. The court yard was packed with people who would not have fit into this church. The crowd disappears into the darkness in the photo.

I had not come Pakistan dressed to preach. One suitcase was filled to the brim with the rest of my ‘Merferd’ shirts and coloring books to give out, and the second suitcase toted worn jeans, that I had planned to work in brick yards to get a feel for them. That was not going to happen on this trip. I had packed gifts of large bags of M n’ Ms for my hosts and Muhammed Ramzan, the brick master who was going to ‘allow’ me to pay the ransom of all his bonded labor enslaved families. There was underware and socks filled with thousands in cash, the rest of the redemption money for the families. My hosts had to dress me up to preach.

I did not feel spiritually ready to open my mouth and speak, for who was I to give these subjugated souls anything. I felt less than holy, as I starred at the wall of precious Pakistan peasants. If they had come to hear a deliverer ‘deliver’ a message, then God would have to open my mouth and loose my tongue.

I began to speak and don’t remember what I said. Afterwards I was asked to pray for people. I was even less prepared to do that. But the Holy Spirit took that over also.

Sundrela, in the red dress, led me through the audience, telling me what sicknesses and ailments different people had. They were numerous; stomach aches, back pains, hurting knees, and injured backs, all of this caused by strenuous illegal bonded labor in the brick kilns.

After I had prayed for the last person, Sundrella was holding an arm full of my Merferd’s T-shirts. She had gone into my suitcase and found them, and began to give them out to certain young men. They were her brothers, cousins, and a couple of Pastor shokaut’s evangelists.

This was Irfan, who for the next three weeks would shadow me, singing worship songs under his breath, and caring a big rifle at his side.

After several days I left Kasur and came to Okara where I spent a couple of days with the Pastor James family. We visited several brick yards and prayed over folks. Suzyann reported to me after I returned to America, some good news about the healing of several we had prayed over, including a young woman with Diphtheria.

Pastor James has the gift of healing. It had been so long since I had done this sort of ministry, and I prayed over more people in my 19 days that first mission in Pakistan, than in my entire life. I came to realize I had a bit of the same Holy Spirit gift of healing that Pastor James had too.

After spending an intense few days of brickyard hopping and praying with Suzyanna, her mother Parveen, Pastor James, and sons, Saraam, Shanza, and Sumrose, I met up with Obaid Karamet.

We visited brickyards where Obaid ministered during the day and we preached and prayed over the sick in villages by night. A compassionate man, Naveed Tariq, set up medical camps at the brick yards we visited.

Pastor Obaid Karamet and I at one of the villages we ministered together at.
This man had a club foot. I had seen him walk in bent over at a 90 degree. After the praise and preaching, his brother had broken through the crowd, asking that I come to the back of the courtyard where the small bent over man was leaning on his cane. As I fixed my eyes on him, either my faith was going to fail amd fall or it was going to rise. I flew forward, and felt as if I had left the ground, laid a hand on his forehead and Obaid and I began to pray out loud in the spirit (tongues) and as he then passed out, I caught him and laid him down. During the half hour that he was unconscious, (slain in the Spirit), he told us that the inside of his body had been vibrating. He got up and began hopping back and forth, and walked out at the end of of the meeting without the help of his cane.

There was a day with Adeel Warris, his father and brothers and his new wife, Sonya. We drove quite a distance to a village where an entire brick yard of families came for the word and for prayer.

While most churches have a raised place and a pulpit, there’s something about being on the ground level with the people.

I had a chance to pray with precious ones with Tahir Younas, who brings food to the Brickyards llaid on his heart. He has a burden for teaching the children, that they will not grow old without an education in these places of lack.

Here, Tahir brings a yummy change from the small portions of lentils and potatoes and onions the people subsist on, with his chicken biryani. At times he will bring fruit, and milk, and other items which the Brickyard families hardly ever get a chance to enjoy.
Tahir asked me to pray over certain ones. The man in the big black beard recently lost his wife in this brick yard.
Tahir’s life, when not working, consists of making brick yard families happy.
Tahir, Teaching the children
Tahir, his team, and Nadeem. I had to climb the so called ‘Sacred’ big tree. It was soon to become no longer sacred.
When Malik Rasheed walked in, everyone stood. We met and shook hands, and I continued with the sermon. After hearing my testimony of the Brick yards bondage in his homeless he told my hosts that he was moved in a major way. I also preached on the 23rd Pslam, because that is how my new friends in Pakistan had loved on me.
Friday’s are the only free half days that bonded laborers have off because they are the brick master’s own holy day. I speak to my brothers and sisters from here in the USA, while Nadeem interprets from Okara on a screen with amplification.

    1. Say Stephen I can’t believe this is over a year old. I apologize for not answering. I finally am getting notifications. There is a Nadeem MASIH and yet there could be hundreds with that name. Because thousands of Pakistani Christians, possibly tens of thousands hold to the last name MASIH, because it means follower of Christ. I often wondered why so many Muslim men had the name, Muhammad, and that means the followers of Mohammed. the Nadeem MASIH who is my Pakistani, Director of Freedom cry, has one son but no daughter thank you for having come to the site when you did. There is much going on since then. Blessings to you and thank you for reaching out, and again, I apologize for having never seen your question until now.
