Early Life: Roots in Faith Amid Darkness

Called by Grace: The Inspiring Journey of

Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir

Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir’s story begins in a small village in Pakistan, where he grew up in a modest Christian family of nine. Life was simple but challenging, marked by frequent power outages that enveloped his home in pitch-black darkness. As a child, these moments filled him with fear, sending him running to his parents for comfort. His mother would light a single candle, its tiny flame piercing the gloom and restoring a sense of security. This childhood experience became a powerful metaphor for his life: darkness—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—can only be overcome by light. Raised in a home where the family’s one Urdu Bible was their spiritual lifeline, daily readings fostered unity, faith, and a deep reverence for God’s promises, even in the face of poverty and societal pressures as a religious minority.

Living as a Christian in a predominantly Islamic society brought its own trials. In school, classmates often asserted that only Muslims would enter Paradise, leaving young Naeem grappling with questions of identity and belonging. These encounters sowed seeds of doubt but also drove him to seek truth in Scripture, anchoring his faith in the Bible’s message of grace and inclusion.

The Miracle That Ignited a Calling

In 2009, Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir faced a life-altering crisis: a severe illness threatening amputation of both feet. Bedridden and in despair, he turned to fervent prayer. Miraculously, God healed him completely within one week, transforming his pain into purpose. “That healing was my turning point,” he recalls. Vowing to dedicate his life to serving Jesus, he received a divine directive to start Good Samaritan Ministries. Beginning humbly with the purchase of just five Urdu Bibles for free distribution, this act marked the birth of a nationwide movement to address spiritual hunger in Pakistan.

This miracle not only restored his health but ignited a passion for evangelism. Drawing from his own journey out of confusion and into Christ’s light, Dr. Nasir committed to sharing the Gospel, ensuring others could experience the same freedom and hope.

Founding and Expanding the Ministry

Under Rev. Dr. Naeem Nasir’s leadership, Good Samaritan Ministries grew from a small initiative into a beacon of hope. By 2012, it expanded to large-scale revival crusades, where thousands gathered in cities and villages to hear the message of salvation. His bold preaching, rooted in Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection, has led multitudes to faith, with follow-up discipleship turning new believers into vibrant church communities.

Key expansions include establishing Revelation Bible College & Seminary to train over 100,000 ministers, founding tuition-free Christian schools like Maranatha Christian High School to educate underprivileged children, and planting churches in unreached areas despite persecution. Humanitarian efforts—such as food distributions, widow support, and freeing families from brick kiln slavery—demonstrate Christ’s compassion, opening doors for Gospel outreach.

Through free Urdu Bibles distribution, over 150,000 Scriptures have reached spiritually thirsty souls, fostering personal and communal revival. Stories abound: villages transformed by one Bible, persecuted believers finding strength in God’s Word, and families united in prayer. His revival crusades have seen miraculous healings and salvations, while educational programs empower the next generation to lead with integrity.

As an author, Dr. Nasir’s books explore life’s purpose and eternity, drawing from his experiences to guide readers toward deeper faith. His ministry embodies the Great Commission, with a vision to distribute one million Bibles by 2033, marking the 2,000th anniversary of Christ’s resurrection.
