Christ at the Centre
Everything begins with Jesus Christ, not with a programme or with the abilities of any person. Knowing Him is the foundation of a woman's identity, security, decisions and hope.
About NEPSIS
A Calling to Disciple. A Vision to Equip.
NEPSIS is a Christ-centered discipleship movement for girls and women in Pakistan. Our journey began with a burden for families and women facing difficult circumstances, and grew into a wider calling: to help girls and women know Christ, grow in His Word, develop Christlike character, live wisely, become equipped for life and service, and help others grow in faith.
Who We Are
Following Christ. Growing in Faith. Living Wisely.
NEPSIS exists to disciple girls and women in the way of Christ. We believe discipleship is more than learning Christian information. It is a lifelong journey of becoming more like Christ and learning to live faithfully in every area of life.
We believe girls and women have an important role in the spiritual and relational strength of families and communities. Our focus is not to define a woman by whether she is married, a mother, a professional, a student, or a leader. Every woman has a unique story, season, responsibility and calling. Our desire is to help each one take her next faithful step with Christ.
We do not see women simply as people who need help. We see them as disciples, daughters, mothers, leaders, servants, mentors, professionals, and valuable members of the Body of Christ.
- Girls Growing in faith and preparing for the future.
- Young women Developing education, skills, relationships and calling.
- Women Strengthening families, serving, or walking through a hard season.
- Mature women Mentoring, leading, teaching and discipling others.
Our Story
From a Burden for Families to a Vision for Generations
The story of NEPSIS began in 2014, when a burden for marriage and family life began to take shape in the heart of our founder and his wife, Sabita Asif. After seeing people experience troubled marriages, broken relationships, separation, and the pain these bring to families, a question began to grow: how can Christian families be helped to build stronger, healthier and more faithful lives according to biblical principles?
At first the vision was focused on marriage and family counselling. Over time the burden became broader. The challenges experienced by Christian girls and women, including discrimination, exploitation, violence, pressure surrounding faith, forced conversion and abduction, created a deeper conviction.
Women need to be strengthened before they face the crisis. And above all, they need to know and follow Jesus Christ.
Growing up in a poor village family, the founder developed a deep love for Christ and a desire to serve God. Teaching became his first profession. In 2016, encouraged by a friend, he began studying biblical and seminary courses, and from 2018 to 2020 completed a Graduate Diploma in Bible and Counseling.
Answering the calling was not easy. Family responsibilities and financial needs made full-time ministry difficult, and leaving stable employment meant accepting uncertainty. Before taking that step he sat with his wife, Sabita, and shared what he believed God was calling him to do. She chose to walk with him. Her support, patience and faith through those years became an important part of this journey.
In 2023, after years of preparation, questions, responsibilities and prayer, he surrendered fully to God's calling, stepped away from teaching, and committed himself more fully to pastoral ministry, theological education, counselling and service.
Experience then taught us something important: we should not wait until people are broken before we begin investing in them. Discipleship can begin while a girl is still young. This is why NEPSIS has grown into a holistic Christian discipleship movement rather than a counselling service alone.
NEPSIS therefore carries not only one person's story of calling, but a story of family surrender and partnership. We do not believe the work belongs to one person or one family. We believe God is calling His people to invest in the next generation, and NEPSIS seeks to be part of that work.

In the Room
Ordinary Rooms, Ordinary Weeks
The work does not happen at conferences. It happens in church halls and front rooms, week after week, with the same women, until what was taught becomes what is lived.
What We Believe
Faith Is Not Separate From Life. Faith Shapes Life.
Following Christ affects how we think, how we make decisions, how we treat people, how we handle relationships, how we use our abilities, how we respond to difficulties, and how we serve our communities.
The Authority of Scripture
God's Word is trustworthy, sufficient and worth the effort it takes to understand. We teach women to read and apply it themselves rather than depend on someone else's summary of it.
Whole-Life Discipleship
A woman does not have a spiritual life on one side and a practical life on the other. Her prayer, family, work, education and money all belong to Christ together.
Faith Is Public as Well as Private
Baptism is where a believer says out loud what she has already settled inwardly, in front of the people who will hold her to it afterwards. It is a beginning rather than an achievement.
That is the pattern the rest of this work follows. What is believed privately has to become something other people can see, or it has not yet finished being believed.
Eight Connected Dimensions
These are not separate missions. They are connected expressions of holistic Christian discipleship.
Christ & Faith
Knowing Christ, trusting Him, following Him, reflecting Him.
Biblical Truth
Knowing God's Word, understanding it, living by it.
Discernment & Wise Living
Recognising truth, resisting deception, making godly decisions.
Christlike Character
Attitudes, choices and responsibilities that increasingly reflect Christ.
Family & Relationships
Love, faithfulness, respect, forgiveness and responsibility.
Education, Skills & Stewardship
Developing God-given abilities and using resources responsibly.
Leadership & Service
Using gifts and influence to serve others with humility and courage.
Discipleship & Multiplication
Growing into disciples who encourage, mentor and equip others.
Our Values
The Values That Shape How We Work
Values are only real if they cost something. These describe how NEPSIS makes decisions and what we would refuse to do even if it were easier.
Christ at the Centre
We would rather do less work well in His name than build something impressive that quietly runs on our own ability.
Scripture as Our Foundation
A faith that can only repeat what it has been told is fragile under pressure. We teach women to read God's Word for themselves.
The Dignity of Every Woman
This shapes how we speak about women, how we photograph them, and how we ask for support on their behalf.
Wisdom Before Crisis
We should not wait until people are broken before we begin investing in them.
Family and Community
A woman's growth should strengthen the people around her rather than separate her from them.
Integrity and Accountability
We say what is true about ourselves, including what we have not yet done. We publish no number we cannot evidence.
Humility in Service
Leadership is measured by service. We refer people to qualified professionals when a situation needs more than we can responsibly offer.
Multiplication Over Accumulation
We would rather see ten women teaching in their own churches than a hundred attending ours.
Our Mission
Making Disciples. Strengthening Families. Impacting Nations.
NEPSIS exists to disciple girls and women in the way of Christ by equipping them with biblical truth, spiritual discernment, godly character, practical wisdom, leadership and compassionate service, so that they may strengthen families, serve their communities, contribute positively to Pakistan, and influence future generations for the glory of God.
Our Vision
Alert in Mind. Strong in Faith. Wise in Life.
We envision generations of girls and women transformed by Christ, rooted in God's Word, spiritually alert, strong in faith, wise in life, and equipped to strengthen families, serve communities, and influence future generations.
The Transformation We Hope to See
- Christ transforms the woman
- The woman strengthens the family
- The family influences the community
- The community contributes to Pakistan
- The movement impacts future generations
We publish very few figures, and only ones we can trace to a record, because NEPSIS is young and we would rather tell you exactly where we are. Our commitments on reporting are set out on the transparency page.
Leadership
The People Behind NEPSIS
NEPSIS is not built around one person's abilities. It is carried by a small team, supported by churches and volunteers, and it depends on a wider community than the names on this page.
Pastor Asif George

Completed his Master of Divinity in 2026. An ordained pastor with experience in biblical counselling and Christian education. He teaches biblical studies to Cambridge O Level students and in schools, has served as a tutor for O.T.S. courses, and conducts NEPSIS training in churches and community settings.
Mrs. Sabita Asif
Director
The burden that became NEPSIS took shape in 2014 in her heart as well as her husband's. When the decision came to leave stable employment for ministry, she chose to walk with him through the uncertainty.
Pastor Samson Shahzad
Discipleship Mentor
Serves NEPSIS in teaching, pastoral care and discipleship, helping to carry the work beyond what any one household could sustain.
Mrs. Sonia Sabar Gill

A Work That Requires a Community
Pastors. Churches. Teachers. Counsellors. Mentors. Volunteers. Women willing to serve, to learn, and to disciple others. Most of what NEPSIS hopes to do will be done by people whose names are not listed above.
See What This Looks Like in Practice
Our discipleship pathways and programs are where these convictions meet the practical needs of a woman's life.
