Rev. Kaleem Shahzad is the Founder and Chief Patron of the Holy Light Foundation and the CEO of Lavish.Business, a company dedicated to empowering businesses and influencers by providing digital solutions and giving them access to markets in over 150 countries. The Holy Light Foundation works to proclaim liberty, promote peace, and restore hope in marginalized communities. With over a decade of ministry, both locally and globally, Rev. Kaleem has become a strong voice for justice, education, and interfaith harmony in Pakistan and beyond.

A Calling at a Young Age

His journey began at just 11 years old, when he first encountered the Spirit of God. That experience lit a fire in his heart to follow God’s calling. From that moment, his passion for sharing the Word and helping the broken never faded. In 2011, he left his secular job to focus on outreach. By 2014, he founded the Holy Light Foundation—a beacon of light for those in spiritual and social darkness.

Youth Empowerment Initiatives

In 2015, he worked to empower youth through partnerships with Youth Empowerment and Youth Revolution Clan International. Through this alliance, he helped equip young people for leadership, education, and social change.

Leadership in Church and Legal Advocacy

From 2022 to 2024, Rev. Kaleem served as the Executive Director of Good Samaritan Church Pakistan, overseeing a network of 35 churches across the country. During this time, he also led the Bishops Council of Pakistan under the Good Samaritan Churches, promoting unity among Christian leaders.

He was an active member of the Christian Lawyers Alliance Pakistan, where he advocated for minority rights and religious freedom. In addition to organizing political and social events, he launched web designing and computer training programs, along with vocational courses for youth. These efforts empowered the next generation with practical skills. Throughout his leadership, he remained a bold voice for the persecuted, standing for justice, freedom, and peace.

Academic Background and Advocacy

Rev. Kaleem holds a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from BZU Multan and is currently completing his LLB (Bachelor of Laws). His studies in journalism and law have strengthened his advocacy work. He speaks out for the persecuted, defends faith freedom, and supports children’s rights.

Under his leadership, the Foundation tackles urgent issues such as child labor, school dropouts, educational inequality, religious discrimination, and spiritual ignorance—especially in regions where 245 million people still do not know 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 rescue mankind from darkness.

“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—but powerful:
Raise a generation of peacemakers. Proclaim liberty. Change the world.

Together with other passionate leaders, Rev. Kaleem launched this movement through the Holy Light Foundation – Generation of Peacemakers. It is committed to advancing God’s Kingdom, healing communities, and restoring truth where darkness still prevails.
