Church of Pakistan Provides Lifesaving Support to Flood-Affected Families in Punjab

Update: January 2026

In September 2025, severe monsoon rains caused catastrophic flooding across Punjab, Pakistan, affecting districts including Kasur, Lahore, Multan, and Faisalabad. Many homes were destroyed, rooftops washed away, crops and livestock lost, and families displaced with limited access to clean water, food, or shelter.

In response, the Church of Pakistan, in partnership with the United Society Partners in the Gospel (USPG), launched an emergency relief project to support the most vulnerable communities. The Diocese of Raiwind conducted an initial survey in and around the Ganda Singh Border area. These surveys identified urgent needs including food, water, medical care, and temporary shelter.

The first relief activity, carried out in early September, provided cooked meals, ration packs, clean drinking water, and tents for displaced families. A medical camp in District Kasur, offered free check-ups and essential medicines, addressing waterborne illnesses and other health issues caused by contaminated floodwater.

The Most Revd Dr Azad Marshall, Moderator of the Church of Pakistan and other members, visited affected areas to pray with families, offering comfort, solidarity, and hope during a time of great hardship.

In late 2025, the Church of Pakistan extended its relief work to additional flood-affected communities. Families received essential supplies such as ration packs, blankets, flour, and clean water, helping them meet their immediate needs and recover from the devastation. These distributions, carried out in partnership with USPG, provided not only material support but also encouragement and hope during the festive season, reinforcing the Church’s ongoing commitment to compassionate service.

Through timely interventions, holistic care, and collaboration the Church of Pakistan has provided life-saving support and hope to communities devastated by the floods, demonstrating faith in action during one of Punjab’s most challenging natural disasters.

Let us pray:

Loving God, as communities continue to recover from the floods, we pray for strength, healing, and renewed hope. Bless those still in need, guide those who support them, and inspire us all to act with compassion and love in the year ahead.

Amen.
