Mentoring
If you have followed Christ for years, the younger women around you cannot get your experience from a book. This is the most valuable thing most people can give.
Get Involved
There Is a Place to Participate
NEPSIS is a movement built through relationships, discipleship, prayer, service and partnership. Some of the most valuable things you can offer cost nothing at all.
Pray
Start Here
Prayer is listed first because it is genuinely first, not because it is the polite thing to say. A discipleship movement that grew out of one family's surrender is not going to pretend that effort and funding are what carry it.
You do not need to be in Pakistan, and you do not need to know anyone here.
What we would value prayer for
- Girls growing up in difficult circumstances, that they would know Christ before they face the decisions that shape their lives
- Women walking through broken relationships, pressure or fear
- Wisdom for those teaching and counselling, and the humility to refer when a situation is beyond us
- Churches in Pakistan, that they would invest in their own women and girls
- Protection and integrity for everyone serving with NEPSIS
- Provision, and the patience to build slowly rather than promise what we cannot deliver
If you would like to tell us you are praying, or ask us to pray for something, we would be glad to hear from you.
Tell Us You Are PrayingVolunteer
Serve With Your Actual Gifts
We would rather find the right thing for you than fill a vacancy. Tell us what you are good at and what you have time for, and we will be honest about whether we can use it well.
Teaching
Bible teaching, study leading, or teaching a practical subject well. Preparation and reliability matter more than eloquence.
Translation and writing
Urdu translation, or writing directly in Urdu. This is one of our clearest current needs.
Professional skills
Online safety, digital skills, household finance, vocational training, education. Areas where we openly need people who know more than we do.
Practical help
Hospitality, administration, transport, childcare during sessions. Unseen work that decides whether anything happens at all.
Prayer support
Committing to pray regularly and specifically, and staying in touch so that you know what to pray for.
What we will ask of you
Anyone serving with NEPSIS works within our safeguarding commitments, which apply to everyone including leadership. For roles involving girls, expect us to ask questions, to require that you are not alone with a child in an unaccountable setting, and to expect communication a parent could see without concern. If that feels excessive, it is worth reading why we take it seriously.
Church Partnership
For Pastors and Churches in Pakistan
NEPSIS conducts training in churches and community settings. Our aim is not to become a permanent outside provider, and it is not to draw your women away into someone else's ministry. It is to equip your congregation to disciple its own women and girls.
We would rather see ten women teaching in their own churches than a hundred attending ours.
What NEPSIS brings
- Teaching and training for women and girls in your church
- A framework your own leaders can continue without us
- Biblical counselling within clear limits, and honest referral beyond them
- Openness about what we teach, before and after partnership begins
What the church brings
- Oversight, and the pastoral relationship we work under
- Women willing to be trained and to carry the work afterwards
- A safe and appropriate place to meet
- Honest feedback, including when something is not working
Ministry Partnership
For Ministries and Organisations
If you are assessing NEPSIS as a potential partner, you will want to know what we are and what we are not. We have tried to make that easy rather than make ourselves look larger than we are.
NEPSIS is not yet a registered organisation in Pakistan. Registration is in process, and we state that openly rather than leaving it unsaid.
Ask us anything before you commit
What we teach on any subject, how funds are handled, who we are accountable to, and what we have not yet achieved. We would rather answer a difficult question than have you guess.
Partnership beyond money
Training, curriculum, translation, professional expertise and honest mentoring of a young organisation are worth as much to us as funding, sometimes more.
Reporting from the start
Partners who support specific work receive an account of that work directly, now, whether or not a public report exists yet.
Support
Or Give Toward the Work
Giving supports teaching, biblical counselling, training in churches, and the slow work of preparing girls and women before difficulty arrives.
