 To Whom It May Concern
It is my privilege to write of my personal experience with Bishop Augustine Joseph.
During the time of my ministry visit to Pakistan in Jan 2005, Bishop Augustine and his family provided wonderful hospitality at their home in Lahore.
I stayed with Augustine and his family for approximately seven days, during which time they took exceptionally good care of me personally, as well as providing good meetings for the ministry.
My personal experience with Bishop Augustine has been excellent. I have found him to be a man of integrity and honor. Bishop Augustine also subsequently attended a conference at Lakeside Christian Center on the Gold Coast in Australia.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the writer by email or phone (details above).
Blessings in Christ

Together with three others, I visited Pakistan for eleven days in February 2007 at the invitation of Brother Augustine Joseph, Presiding Bishop of Disciple Union Ministries in Lahore. On a personal level, Brother Augustine admirably fulfilled the command of Hebrews 13:2, despite the fact that we were evidently not angels! During our time in Pakistan I personally spoke at nearly a dozen different churches and leaders’ meetings as arranged by our brother.
I was impressed by the wide variety of churches gathered under the “umbrella” of DUM and by the caring and supportive relationship that existed with them. I believe that Brother Augustine has a genuine heart to help and encourage pastors in Pakistan, some of whom are labouring faithfully in difficult situations, and that this is reflected in the work Disciple Union Ministries is carrying out. I commend this ministry to you.

Dear Bishop saab (Urdu and means Sir) I would say that it was a big blessing personally for me that through your ministry and friendship I had an open door to come to Pakistan and serve the people of Pakistan.
I was greatly blessed to see Disciple Union Ministries in terms of its supporting the local churches. I feel that Disciple Union Ministries is a very powerful tool in Pakistan in facilitating teaching and preaching opportunities to the local churches. As I was able to listen to the comments of the local Pastors, i could comment that Disciple Union Ministries are doing a fantastic job of networking different denomination and reaching out to them in meeting their spiritual needs.
I could say more and I hope that whatever I have said will help you.
Lots of blessings. Johny Fernandes London,United Kingdom

"I wish to hereby state my support and recommendation for the ministry of Disciple Union in Pakistan, headed by Bishop Augustine Joseph.
I have preached in a number of churches in this fellowship and can verify that: This ministry is Godly, Christ centered and doing an excellent work in assisting and supporting Pastors who are often isolated and without any external input.
Additionally Disciple Union provides relief for poverty stricken Christians and assists with employment opportunities in areas where Christians are treated as second class citizens and have little hope or prospects." Mike Burgess London,United Kingdom |

"Disciple Union exercises effective and much needed ministry through a network of some 700 churches in Pakistan. The Good News of Jesus is proclaimed, leaders and local congregations are encouraged and equipped through teaching and the provision of literature, and the needy are cared for in practical ways.
I have visited them twice, and encountered a warm welcome, efficient organization, and fruitful opportunities to minister. Bishop Augustine is a respected leader who works tirelessly to promote this work. I commend him, and Disciple Union, to the prayers and practical support of the wider Church".
