Allan and Georgene Shalm received Career Missionary appointment to India in 1980. Because they could not obtain resident visas for India, they settled in Karachi, Pakistan in 1982. In addition to pastoring an English congregation in Karachi, they regularly traveled to India and Bangladesh. During that first term, Brother Shalm also established a correspondence course in the Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam languages.
The Shalms moved to Islamabad, Pakistan, in 1990. After becoming General Superintendent of Pakistan in 1994, Brother Shalm planned a series of major crusades which saw the work grow from 325 churches and preaching points and 20,000 constituents to almost 3,060 churches and preaching points and 155,000 constituents by the time they left Pakistan in January 2012. The Shalms helped to raise funds to buy property or construct 40 churches in India and Pakistan, as well as property for Bible colleges in New Delhi, India, and Lahore, Pakistan. One of Brother Shalm’s major efforts was to prepare leadership and nationalize the work in Pakistan, which was missionary profileaccomplished. In January 2012, the Shalms moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and are now traveling throughout the Asian and Pacific regions teaching, evangelizing, and promoting end-time Apostolic revival.
