“The walls shook, the children screamed, we ran for our lives, gathering the orphans from every corner of the building. Outside everyone was terrified, the noise of shaking mountains and scared people was unforgettable” Christian leaders in northern Pakistan.

YWAM has been working from the UK into Pakistan for ten years, investing in the lives of local leaders. One of these couples runs a residential child support centre.
