Tens of thousands of people gathered at Ansari Park in Faisalabad for the Pakistan Healing and Deliverance Festival, a significant Christian evangelical event organized by Nigeria’s Dunamis International Gospel Centre. The three-day event, which began on March 19, 2025, featured nightly sessions starting at 6:00 PM and included prayers, worship, and calls for healing and spiritual renewal, drawing an unprecedented crowd in the predominantly Muslim nation. The festival, led by Dr. Paul Enenche, the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, and his wife, Dr. Becky Paul-Enenche, also hosted a Ministers Conference at Ayesha Palace, engaging local religious leaders in the city’s vibrant Punjab province.
Dunamis International Gospel Centre, founded on November 10, 1996, in Abuja, Nigeria, is a prominent Pentecostal Christian ministry known for its global outreach and focus on evangelical preaching, healing, deliverance, and the restoration of human lives and destinies. The ministry describes itself as a “big family of power, glory, and the unfathomable flow of God’s blessings,” with a mission to host life-changing events that ignite faith, renew spirits, and transform lives. The Pakistan Healing and Deliverance Festival, branded with the theme “The Great Dominion,” reflects this mission, aiming to spread Christian teachings and facilitate spiritual experiences in Faisalabad.
The gathering marked a notable moment for Pakistan’s Christian minority, which constitutes about 1.6% of the population. The event’s scale and fervor underscored a rare public expression of Christian faith in a region where religious minorities, including Christians, sometimes face challenges.
While the event has drawn attention for its size and spiritual intensity, it also highlights the complex religious landscape of Pakistan, where the majority Muslim population coexists with smaller Christian and Hindu communities. The Pakistan Healing and Deliverance Festival, organized under the leadership of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, stands as a bold testament to the resilience and visibility of the Christian faith in the region, drawing participants from across Faisalabad and beyond.
