God employs every person with different roles, offices, and talents, and when
they form a relationship with God, they are saved by Him. The glory of God
cultivates them, and some men are called to be preachers, evangelists, and
missionaries. People have lost their way in this modern era of advancement. The
need for consistent guidance and influence to keep people on the righteous path
cannot be neglected. The spiritual guidance focuses on providing the right
Christianity teaching, lectures, and valuable coaching. Pastors are the ones who
devote themselves and their lives to the betterment and guidance of people
through the word of God and move ahead to influence people’s decisions by
playing an important role in keeping people spirited and on the right path.
Pastors play a pivotal role in society and expose people to the love of God. One
such pastor is Anwar Fazal.
Fazal, together with his loving wife, Nida Anwar, is a humble man of God who
faithfully fulfills the call put on his heart by the Lord. With his dedication
to a good grasp of the Bible, Christian education, and staying firm in the
faith, this preacher has caused waves in the twenty-first century. Fazal has
become well-known for his love of the Gospel and his Christ-like attitude
throughout the years.
Born on February 13, 1972, in the Jahanian City of Punjab province in Pakistan,
Fazal started a channel named Life Television Network which
broadcasts
very influential and anointed preachers with teachings, worship songs, and
children’s programs. Since its inception, the Eternal Life Television Network
has been winning souls, changing lives, and expanding the kingdom of God. Under
the embodied vision of Pastor Anwar Fazal, the channel has been preaching to
people about the love of God.
During the early 2000s, Pakistan experienced a tremendous increase in private TV
stations, with the majority focused on current events and politics. Yet, most
people in the South Asian country are unaware that the country also has more
than ten stations dedicated to Christian programming, two among which are
Fazal’s foundations.
Fazal founded the “Eternal Life Television Network,” which broadcasts on the
Apstar 7 and Galaxy Sat 19 satellites. Eternal Life Television is an
English-language station that broadcasts to the United States, Canada, Europe,
Africa, and many other nations. The Eternal Life Television broadcasts strong
and anointed preachers and teachings, worship songs, a youth show, and
children’s programming.
Prior to launching Eternal Life, Fazal had launched Isaac Television which was
the first Christian television channel in the history of Pakistan. His first
channel came out as an opportunity for both Christians and Non-Christians alike.
In 2014, the channel expanded its evangelism with a project dubbed Isaac’s Best
Worshippers, a localized version of the American Idol singing competition. The
event aimed to promote and provide budding Christian artists in the region with
a platform.
Fazal started his ministry in a shack in Lahore’s Bahar slum in the late 1990s,
where he worked odd jobs before becoming a pastor. In 2001, Fazal founded the
Eternal life Ministries with four members and preached his first sermon n
Lahore. His talks and ability to connect with the locals swiftly drove him to
prominence, winning him an invitation to pray before the second term election of
former American President George W. Bush.
Over the years, Fazal has gained worldwide attention. In his home country of
Pakistan, he has been drawing a large number of people, both Christians and
Non-Christians, to his prayers festivals. The world-renowned Christian
televangelist Benny Hinn had also invited Fazal to appear on his television
station on many occasions.
Even though previous attempts to bring Hinn to Pakistan have failed to owe to
security concerns, the tendency of international televangelists such as Marlyn
Hickey, Morris Cerrelo, and Korean preacher David Yonggi Cho to visit the
country has had a long history. Their travels coincided with several events and
conventions around the country. For many ministries, this was a thoughtful
endeavor to spiritually connect local congregations to the global network of
televangelism and financially connect them to the large donor network worldwide.
Fazal aspired to be like renowned televangelist preachers like Billy Graham. The
initial move was establishing Isaac TV, followed by the Eternal Life Television
Network.
