Robert and Pricilla Carpenter are missionaries in Pakistan through WorldVenture.
Please read their latest letters posted on the church Bulletin Board.
The Carpenters have been serving the Sindhi people of southern Pakistan for the past 14 years. WorldVenture operates Shikarpur Christian Hospital, where Priscilla is the doctor and Robert has oversight of the maintenance and construction of mission properties.
Sindhis are largely agrarian, given to hospitality and proud of their Islamic culture which has a strong bent toward folk Islam. Less than 2 dozen people minister to a population of some 22 million, a firmly held belief system that requires many contacts to allow the gospel to penetrate.
