Brief History of FBCP

Brethren Movement was started in Pakistan from Karachi through Brother Bakhet Singh in 1930s. He travelled around the country and preached the good news which results the establishment of Church. Following are some highlights of the development of Brethren churches in Pakistan.

-1930s: Brother Bakhet Singh started evangelistic work among poor sweepers in Karachi and in this way house churches have been started.

Bro. Bakhet Singh went to Quetta in 1935 and shared the good news there and a house church was started there too.

-In 1937 he came to Martinpur and spread the good news among them and in results a house church started there.

-1990s: Missionaries and local people got involved more in church planting and in result more churches were established. Robert Orr Centre was constructed in Multan to serve as Church building as well as place for other church related activities; camps, seminars, rallies etc.
