Under the leadership and guidance of the late K.L Nasir, Pastor Hizkiel completed his theological studies, and graduated from the Gujranwala Seminary with both a Bachelor degree and Doctorate in Divinity.

For countless worshippers the Pastor’s songs revived their Christian spirit, as they were stirred by the poetry and music his sermons encompassed.

Pastor Hizkiel gained fame through the remarkable and positive influence he held over the lives of Christian people seeking to serve their Lord Christ.

Additionally, the Pastor was also honoured with the highly esteemed ‘Good Samaritan’ award in 2012 in recognition for his selfless humanitarian work in Lahore.

Unfortunately Pastor Hizkiel’s story now takes a sad turn as we remember the fateful day of 7th November 2017 when his car was involved in a tragic car accident along the journey from Faisalabad to Lahore. In spite of being rushed immediately to hospital, the Pastor’s extensive injuries as a result of the crash meant he was unable to survive this devastating event.

Few people in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan have served the Lord Jesus Christ in the impassioned way that Pastor Hizkiel did. We now pay tribute to his memory and to the remarkable work he did for the international Christian community. Whilst the Pastor’s soul now rests with his Lord and Saviour, many of his disciples continue to keep his work alive through spreading the Word of God, sharing their love of Christ with others, and seeking to convert new Christians.
