The Ark International — Training indigenous leaders for sustainable Gospel impact.
The Ark International is a Christ-centered mission raising, equipping, and empowering local Christian leaders in Pakistan and South Asia. We believe indigenous pastors and church planters—who know the culture, language, and challenges—are key to advancing the Gospel where Christ’s name is rarely known. Founded by Pastor Jamshad Hadyat (32 years of ministry) and his wife Anila Jamshad, our name reflects our calling as a spiritual vessel of salvation.
In a 96% Muslim region, we train Spirit-filled leaders to plant churches, produce discipleship resources, and bring sustainable Gospel impact to unreached tribal and rural communities.
The Ark International is a Christ-centered mission organization dedicated to raising indigenous leaders in Pakistan and South Asia.
Just as Noah's Ark was a vessel of salvation, The Ark International exists as a spiritual vessel — training leaders, producing discipleship materials, and equipping Gospel workers to plant thriving, Christ-centered churches in places where the Good News is yet to be heard.
Indigenous pastors, evangelists, and church planters — those who know the culture, language, and challenges — are the key to advancing the Gospel.
32 years in full-time ministry. 18 years church planting in Pakistan, founder of Vertical Life Church Urdu (Georgia, USA). Through prayer & fasting, God gave them a renewed mission — The Ark International.
“To train and empower local leaders in Pakistan who can multiply disciples and plant churches — reaching tribal areas where the Gospel has barely been heard.”
"To raise and empower local leaders to share the Gospel, plant churches, and multiply disciples in unreached communities."
We envision a movement of well-trained, Spirit-filled leaders who will transform villages, cities, and nations with the hope of Christ — equipping indigenous leaders for sustainable Gospel impact where foreign missionaries cannot easily go.
Pakistan is 96% Muslim, with tribal areas where the Gospel has hardly been shared. The Ark International operates with wisdom, relationship-driven evangelism, and community-based outreach (clean water, food programs, education) as entry points for the Gospel. Strategic and prayerful planning ensures safety and effectiveness in high-risk areas.
