Sprouting from a single church in Lahore, RCCM has experienced explosive growth in Pakistan over the past two decades, blossoming into a network of 215 churches and cell groups. Among them, 207 are scattered across Pakistan, boasting an impressive membership of 67,000 individuals. Expanding its global presence, RCCM Pakistan has established four churches in the United Arab Emirates and additional churches in Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, as well as Butellborn, Germany.

Pakistan, categorized as a Third World country, faces challenges such as unemployment, low literacy rates, discrimination, and the exploitation of basic human rights. Abuse among young Christian girls is also commonplace; these girls are often forced into a modern form of slavery. These conditions, witnessed by us at RCCM daily, are unimaginable for most Westerners. RCCM Pakistan has initiated the "Empowering Women for a Better Life" program, a one-year initiative providing education and sewing arts skills to impoverished girls aged 10 to 45. Sponsored entirely by RCCM Pakistan and our partners, the education and skills training are free of charge for participants. The program empowers these girls not only to earn a substantial living but also to build a foundation for a free and fruitful life beyond the program. In the absence of our intervention, these girls might be destitute and hopeless. In its nearly twenty-year history, the program has yielded countless success stories, showcasing the transformative impact of education and skill development in dire circumstances.

RCCM has established three Sewing & Knitting Education Training Schools in various communities across Pakistan. 

Water is vital for all life, yet in Pakistan, the combination of a growing population and industrialization, particularly in major cities and villages like Youhanabad, has led to a decline in drinking water quality. Approximately 20% of the population has access to safe drinking water, leaving 80% to rely on unsafe sources. Youhanabad, a vulnerable area with around 200,000 inhabitants, faces dire consequences, including child deaths and hospital admissions due to unclean water. Since 2002, RCCM has been committed to addressing this issue, initially focusing on Youhanabad with the establishment of our first water treatment plant. Today, with nine water treatment plants in Pakistan, RCCM continues its mission to provide clean water and filtration facilities for communities, recognizing the urgent need for protective measures and treatment technologies. Waterborne diseases, responsible for 80% of all illnesses and 33% of deaths, persist, highlighting the ongoing necessity for such initiatives. According to the US-EPA, arsenic in drinking water is suspected to cause or exacerbate various diseases. A USAID report estimates that around 250,000 child deaths occur annually in Pakistan due to waterborne diseases.

RCCM is making a difference. We undertook an ambitious and impactful initiative to combat the water crisis in Pakistan by constructing nine state-of-the-art water treatment and filtration plants which now serve 187,000 people. These modern facilities, equipped with cutting-edge technology sourced from the UK, Italy, Germany, Taiwan, the UAE, Japan, and the USA, play a pivotal role in ensuring clean and safe drinking water. The construction process involved boring to a depth of 650 feet and deploying advanced equipment such as reverse osmosis systems, high-pressure pumps, ultraviolet systems,  large capacity tanks, ozone generators and advanced sterilization systems. The intricate process was executed with the cooperation of numerous professionals and government officials,  highlighting the collective dedication to addressing the critical issue of water quality in Pakistan.

RCCM envisions a future where education is a right for every child in the community, addressing the prevalent lack of educational opportunities. This commitment aims to nurture their development, empowering them to lead fulfilling and purposeful lives. Through this initiative, RCCM sows seeds of goodness, contributing to the flourishing, respectability, beauty, and health of both the community and society at large.

Through collaboration with our global partners and the remarkable dedication of our ministry teams on the ground in Pakistan, led by Pastor Tahir Saleem, RCCM Pakistan consistently provides motorbikes, motorcycles, bicycles, and other vehicles to our Church Planters. These church planters are the heartbeat of RCCMP and are responsible for the explosive growth of RCCM across Pakistan. With the added empowerment of vehicles, these devoted individuals can expand their spheres of influence, creating fresh opportunities for outreach. As a result, scores of new churches are planted and flourish.

Since 2008, RCCM has operated an orphanage, currently providing a home for 93 community girls who have faced rejection, persecution, rape, sexual abuse, and human trafficking. The project aims to supply clothing, shoes, books, uniforms, school bags, and medical assistance throughout the year to female orphans, homeless, and traumatized young girls/women, empowering them to become integral members of society.

RCCM's Community Sponsorship Program, known as Community Resilience through Self-help Initiatives (CRSI), has been instrumental in breaking the cycle of slavery for more than 40 families. This program has rescued individuals from a life of reliance on others, liberating them from situations where they were trapped into slavery due to financial debts or desperate circumstances. Often, these individuals end up working tirelessly to pay off a debt that is in effect insurmountable, affecting not only them but their entire family and even future generations. Through CRSI, 320 people have been saved from such circumstances, each family receiving training and support to establish a new and more peaceful life.
