A Painful Truth About Pakistani Pastors in Malaysia and Persecuted Christians
I am not writing this out of anger, hatred, or personal enmity, but with a wounded heart, deep pain, and the truth of my experiences.
As someone who faced opposition, pressure, and persecution in Pakistan because of my faith and the name of Jesus Christ, I always hoped that when I came abroad, the Christian community—especially Pakistani pastors and ministers—would reflect love, honesty, and true brotherhood.
But sadly, my experience in Malaysia has often been the opposite.
In many places, I have seen that relationships, group loyalty, personal benefit, reputation, and influence are given more importance than true ministry, compassion, and standing with the suffering.
If a person is not part of their own church, congregation, or specific circle, he is often ignored—even if he is sick, needy, or in real distress.
And if there is no personal benefit or connection, even checking on such a person is considered unimportant.
Is this truly Christianity? Is this the teaching of Jesus Christ?
The Lord Jesus Christ said:
“A new command I give you: Love one another.”
John 13:34
And Scripture also clearly says:
“If anyone sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of Christ be in that person?”
1 John 3:17
I have also witnessed something painful.
When a person is met for the first time—especially if he is a persecuted Christian, sick, or in real need—some people show great sympathy, care, and concern.
They speak as if they will always stand with you, help you, and never leave you alone.
But over time, that attitude changes.
The connection fades, the concern disappears, and the love becomes distant.
It feels as if “you are nothing, and we are something.”
Different words in front, and a different reality behind.
I say this with full confidence, without fear, pressure, or intimidation, that among many Pakistani pastors and ministry workers I have encountered in Malaysia, I have seen this inconsistency.
Words of compassion, but distance in action.
Talk of service, but neglect in reality.
This deeply hurts a person who is already wounded and persecuted.
It is also painful to say that some foreign supporters—whether Western Christians, Chinese Malaysian Christians, or others—may genuinely intend to support ministry work, but often do not realize how that help is actually handled or distributed.
If help is truly given in the name of the Lord, it should reach the needy directly.
The sick, the persecuted, and the poor should be personally seen and helped with integrity and accountability.
The Bible clearly says:
“For God does not show favoritism.”
Romans 2:11
And the Lord Jesus Christ said:
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
John 10:11
A true servant of God is not someone who only preaches on a stage, makes big claims, or holds titles.
A true servant is one who stands with the weak, the poor, the sick, and the lonely in real life.
If the church becomes limited only to those who bring financial benefit, relationships, or numbers, then it is no longer the path of Christ but a form of human self-interest.
I am not satisfied with the current condition and attitude of many Pakistani pastors and ministry workers in Malaysia.
Because I have personally seen many truly needy Christians being left alone.
As someone who has already suffered for his faith and now experiences sickness and weakness, it is natural to feel this pain even more deeply.
The Apostle Paul writes:
“Not looking to your own interests, but each of you to the interests of the others.”
Philippians 2:4
Finally, I want to say clearly that I do not consider those as true servants of God who know the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ but do not practice them.
Because simply reading the Bible, preaching sermons, or calling oneself a pastor is not enough.
In the eyes of God, the true servant is the one who obeys His Word.
If someone sees a needy, sick, poor, or suffering Christian brother or sister and still refuses to help, refuses to check on them, and only follows personal interest, group loyalty, or reputation, then that is not true ministry but only outward religion.
Scripture also teaches:
“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
James 2:17
“I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat.”
Matthew 25:42
God looks at actions, not only words.
“You will recognize them by their fruits.”
Matthew 7:16
My words are not written in hatred, but as a painful truth and voice, so that the Church may return again to the love, honesty, truth, and sacrifice taught by the Lord Jesus Christ.
