Rev. Kaleem Shahzad is the Founder and Chief Patron of the Holy Light Foundation and the CEO of Lavish.Business. Through his leadership in both ministry and business, he is committed to empowering communities, uplifting lives, and creating global opportunities. His calling began at a young age. At just 11 years old, he experienced a powerful encounter with the Spirit of God, which ignited a deep passion in his heart to follow God’s path.
By the age of 13, while still in high school, he began sharing the Gospel. During this time, one of his Muslim friends gave his life to Jesus. He also started supporting persecuted believers who had been rejected by their families. From that moment, his desire to share the Word and serve those in need continued to grow, shaping his mission for a “Gospel and Peace Revolution in Pakistan.”
In 2011, he stepped out in faith, resigning from his secular job to fully surrender his life to ministry, serving Jesus Christ, uplifting persecuted Christians, and sharing the Good News with those who have never heard the Gospel. This bold decision marked a defining turning point in his journey and led to the founding of the Holy Light Foundation in 2014, which has since become a beacon of light and hope for people facing spiritual and social challenges.
Rev. Kaleem has been deeply committed to youth empowerment. In 2015, he partnered with youth-focused organizations such as Youth Empowerment and Youth Revolution Clan International. Through these collaborations, he equipped young individuals with leadership skills, education, and opportunities to bring positive change to society. His efforts have inspired many to pursue purposeful lives and actively contribute to their communities.
He also served as the Executive Director of Good Samaritan Church Pakistan, where he oversaw a network of 35 churches nationwide. During this time, he led the Bishops Council of Pakistan under the Good Samaritan Churches, promoting unity and collaboration among Christian leaders. Alongside his church leadership, he was actively involved in the Christian Lawyers Alliance Pakistan, advocating for minority rights and religious freedom. He also initiated social and community development programs, including training in web design, computer skills, and vocational education—equipping young people with practical tools for the future. Throughout his leadership, he has remained a bold voice for justice, peace, and the rights of the persecuted.
Academically, Rev. Kaleem holds a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from BZU Multan and is currently completing his LLB (Bachelor of Laws). His academic background has strengthened his advocacy and public engagement, enabling him to speak effectively for the oppressed, defend religious freedom, and promote the rights of children. Under his leadership, the Holy Light Foundation addresses critical issues such as child labor, educational inequality, religious discrimination, and spiritual awareness, especially in regions where millions have yet to hear the message of the Gospel rooted in the Torah.
Mission & Vision
Rev. Kaleem believes that lasting peace begins with the truth of the Torah and the Gospel. He proclaims that Jesus the Messiah is the Light of the World, sent by God Yahweh—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—to bring mankind out of darkness into life.
“I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” — John 8:12
“You are the light of the world.” — Matthew 5:14
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” — Matthew 5:9
His mission is simple yet powerful: to raise a generation of peacemakers, proclaim liberty, and transform the world through truth and love.
Together with passionate leaders, Rev. Kaleem launched this vision through the Holy Light Foundation – Generation of Peacemakers, a movement committed to advancing God’s Kingdom, healing communities, and restoring truth where darkness still prevails.
