As we close the chapter on 2025, we stand with deep gratitude and renewed confidence in what God has accomplished through faithful stewardship and your generous partnership.
This year affirmed a powerful truth: when education is rooted in faith, discipline, and love, transformation follows. At Forman Christian College in Lahore, Pakistan, seemingly impossible outcomes continue to become reality.
Across campus, young Christians are being equipped to thrive academically and spiritually. Young men and women are finding their voices, their confidence, and their place as leaders. Genuine friendships are forming across faiths, all grounded in FCCU’s enduring motto: “By love, serve one another.”
Record-Breaking Scholarships
In 2025, your philanthropic generosity reached a new milestone. More than $2 million in scholarships were awarded (a 32% increase from 2024), supporting 2,821 students.
- $826,819 invested in women’s education
- $906,277 invested in Christian students
- 97% of our Christian enrollment continued their studies thanks to a scholarship
These numbers represent far more than financial aid and aren’t just numbers; they represent dreams preserved and futures secured.
Growth Across Campus
Campus enrollment grew to 9,324 students across all three schools, with women now comprising 49% of our university population and an impressive 72% of graduate programs.
Forman celebrated 1,293 graduates in 2025, including 664 women and 158 Christian students. Each graduate is now equipped to become a leader in the nation they love.
Stories That Moved Us
We heard stories from students like Anoosh, a Christian girl who always dreamed of attending FCCU but feared her father couldn’t afford it. Thanks to your support, she found safety and opportunity at Pakistan’s most welcoming campus for Christian students.
Dr. Syed M. Saqib, raised by a single mother, returned to campus as a faculty member after graduating in 2007. Dr. Saqib’s story embodies how FCCU transforms students into leaders who give back.
Your Impact in Action
Your $3.2 million in philanthropic capital (with 51% coming from individual donors like you) was strategically deployed to strengthen both immediate impact and long-term sustainability.
Your generosity supported:
- The Centre for Biblical Teaching & Research ($278,250)
- leadership and faculty support ($261,619)
- The Light of Hope school ($130,875)
Additionally, $368,250 was invested in FCCU endowments, ensuring educational access for generations to come.
Church Partnerships Strengthened
Alongside individual partners, 39 church communities across the country, from Connecticut to California, joined this mission in 2025. We’re grateful for the support of these congregations, which exemplify what it means to make God’s love visible through education and service in Pakistan.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As Rector Dr. Jonathan Addleton reflects on five years of leadership at Forman Christian College, he describes a period defined by growth, renewal, and a deepening of both academic excellence and international connection.
Students come together at FCCU as part of what Dr. Addleton describes as a “beloved community,” rich in perspective and promise. Dr. Addleton went on to compare FCCU to the Sheesh Mahal at the Lahore fort, made up of hundreds of small mirrors reflecting countless points of light. The students, faculty, and partners are that light reflecting hope into the darkest places where it is needed most. The year ahead holds even more promise. With your continued partnership, we will expand access to education, strengthen families, and continue to shine a bright light of hope.
Thank you for being beacons of light, making what was once impossible now possible every single day at Forman Christian College.
Give. Go. Pray.
Join us in making 2026 another year of transformation.
