RDM's two ministries near Faisalabad are a beacon of hope for oppressed minority groups. One serves brick-kiln laborers trapped in inherited debt-bondage. The other serves minority Christian farmers in the rural villages.
Bonded labor — a modern-day form of slavery — traps whole families in the brick kilns, generation after generation. Christian minorities in rural villages face persecution from the Muslim majority and marginalization from the wider society. Into these places, three people carry the gospel: Umer, Rooby, and Nabeel.
Pastor to the brick-kiln laborers. Leads open-air gatherings, visits homes for prayer and teaching, and distributes food, clothing, and medicine to families trapped in bonded labor.
Umer wants to channel his educational background into vocational training and small-business ventures — a path toward freedom for families crushed by inherited debt. In April 2025, Umer and his father Mehmood succeeded in freeing the orphan children Tera and Maha, whose late father Ghaffar left them behind in the brickyards.
Rooby serves alongside her brother Umer and her father Mehmood in the brick-kiln community — a faithful presence whose prayers have rallied supporters around the world.
Rooby's own health has been a prayer point — through serious illness including a severe bout of malaria, her recovery has been a witness of answered prayer. She continues to walk alongside her family in this hard, faithful work.
Two siblings, one mission — visiting the brick-kiln families together.
Nabeel serves impoverished minority Christian farmers in the villages near Faisalabad — weekly outreach through preaching, children's ministries, prayer, and direct support to families and the elderly.
Nabeel organizes large-scale outdoor evangelistic meetings that draw substantial crowds. Many in the audience have never heard the true gospel — and many have come to Christ through his faithful work. He pastors, preaches, teaches, and quietly distributes food, medicine, and clothing to the families he serves.
“Build and they will come.”
Nabeel has opened a new outreach village called Shiloh — a place where the gospel is being preached and a new community of faith is being gathered. Watch the work on the ground.
