Our Story
Our story began in 2018 when Pastor Ivan stepped out in faith to begin Bible-based discipleship training with 40 passionate students from Ark Church Dawoodnagar. What started as a small but determined gathering soon became a movement marked by hunger for God’s Word and a deep desire to impact nations.
With a clear vision to train the untrained and reach the unreached, the ministry expanded beyond the walls of a single church. Through focused discipleship, leadership development, and Spirit-empowered training, Ark began equipping believers to carry the Gospel boldly into cities, villages, and communities.
By the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, Ark has now planted 96 churches across Pakistan and one in Sharjah, UAE. What began as a classroom of 40 students has become a growing network of churches raising leaders, transforming lives, and advancing the Kingdom of God.
In 2025, after seven years of persistent labor, prayer, and unwavering commitment, Pastor Ivan successfully introduced internationally recognized training programs such as CfaN Jesus Camp, Loveworld Foundation School, and Gospel House. These strategic partnerships and intensive discipleship initiatives have trained over 700 disciples who are now actively serving and impacting communities across Pakistan, as well as in the Philippines, Thailand, and several nations in Africa. This milestone marked a new chapter of global influence and multiplied leadership.
Today, we stand as pillars to raise a generation of believers who are trained, focused, passionate, and transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit—committed to the truth of God’s Word and dedicated to establishing His Kingdom here on earth.

The only requirement to join this course was a willing heart—ready to allow the Holy Spirit to lead, shape, and propel us into the fullness of God’s purpose for our lives. Like iron sharpening iron, this journey refined me, strengthened me, and transformed every area of my life, drawing me closer to His calling and design.

I was introduced to this course by my father, who was already a part of it. Through this journey, my confidence began to grow, and my character was shaped and refined from the inside out, bringing transformation not only to what I do, but to who I am becoming.

The Life Coaches guided me into a deeper and more personal interaction with the Holy Spirit in a way I had never experienced before. It was a truly transformative journey—lifting burdens I didn’t even realize I was carrying and leaving me with a profound sense of freedom, peace, and renewed strength.
