St Marks Church Utley. Serving Christ, one another and the world

The Gilgit Coaching Centre

Situated in the town of Gilgit, in Northern Pakistan, this centre continues to be a beacon of success and positive Christian witness. It is run and coordinated by Mike and Robin from the US who serve God through YWAM. The coaching centre seeks to teach basic skills and literacy classes to children and English to young adults from the majority Islamic community as well as from the small Punjabi Christian community. God’s love and grace are clearly witnessed to through materials used and in the lives and commitment of all those involved in the Centre.

Alongside the coaching Centre two businesses exporting locally produced apricots have now been established and set up providing economic uplift, work for impoverished believers and opportunities to share the gospel in some of the more isolated valleys and villages of the Northern Areas.

St Mark’s church financially supports this centre in Gilgit with over £1000 a year for which they are extremely grateful. Stephen Smith visited the centre on his recent visit to Gilgit and was able to take photographs and get up-to-date news from Mike and Robin. He will be going again next year, God willing!
