Ansari in Pakistan

Ansari in Pakistan

pronounced: ahn-SAH-ree

The Ansari people are noted for their friendliness and their helpfulness. They are predominately artisans by trade and are mostly poor. The weaving of silk is a common trade skill of these people. Although traditionally weavers and textile sellers, the Ansaris are now involved in a wide range of small business enterprises.

Ministry Obstacles

Pakistan is a country that is very hostile to the gospel. It is almost impossible for believers to stay long enough to help people find their way to the cross, and be discipled in the ways of Jesus Christ.

Outreach Ideas

The friendliness of the Ansaris can open doors for believers to develop closeness and opportunities to share the gospel.
