Mr. and Mrs. Yaqoob Ghouri
At Sights and Sounds Ministry, our journey began in Karachi, Pakistan, where we grew up in a Christian household within a small, tight-knit community. Life in Pakistan was often challenging due to religious discrimination, which eventually led us to seek a better future in the UK over 20 years ago. While Sunday church was a regular part of our lives, our faith deepened profoundly just months before our move. Thanks to the guidance of several local pastors, we experienced a renewed strength in our walk with God.
Upon relocating to the UK, our family faced many hardships, but we always believed that God was our refuge and strength. By His grace, we encountered Pastor A.R. Lazarus, a true servant of God operating in the fivefold ministry. His ministry revealed God’s will for our lives and reignited a long-standing desire to fulfill the Great Commission given by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Through this spiritual journey, God trained each member of our family, equipping us for the purpose He had set before us. After enduring these trials, we understood that the time had come to launch this ministry, fully recognizing the truth in Psalm 119:71: “It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.”
God has blessed our family, including our children and grandchildren, with the talents and skills needed to build this ministry. In particular, He has guided us to leverage media, recognizing it as a powerful tool for spreading the Gospel in today’s world. In a time when social media is often used for worldly purposes, we believe it should also be harnessed to bring people closer to God. Now is the time for us to step forward and take the message of salvation to all corners of the world.
