Overview
Bible Society Australia is supporting Pakistan Bible Society (PBS) in an emergency relief project to assist families devastated by the 2025 monsoon floods. PBS will provide food, bedding, medicine, and spiritual support to 3,500 families across Punjab and Sindh provinces. The project will also include the distribution of Bibles and New Testaments to Christian families whose Scriptures were lost in the floods.
Since July 2025, heavy monsoon rains and cloudbursts have triggered catastrophic flooding across Pakistan, particularly in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan. Rivers Chenab, Ravi, and Sutlej overflowed, destroying homes, livestock, and infrastructure within a 35km radius of their banks. Over 29,000 people have been displaced, with many living in open areas without shelter, clean water, or basic necessities. Vulnerable groups including children, the elderly, and religious minorities are especially at risk. The
floods have also damaged churches and destroyed Bibles, leaving Christian families without spiritual resources in a time of deep need.
PBS staff and volunteers, including local pastors and church leaders, have visited affected areas to assess needs and will assist in distributing aid. Church leaders are helping to identify needs through personal visits and local knowledge, and will support the delivery of food, bedding, medicine, and Scripture materials. The project will reach Christian, Hindu, Balmiki, and Sikh families, many of whom are minorities and have not yet received adequate assistance.
