Church History
In1974,
eight Godly people who were originally from Brethren Assembly came to
gather with a special burden to start a new church. After much prayer and
planning they started this church in the month of December 1974. Church
started in a small upper room at Mahabupalayam,
Madurai, Tamil Nadu and India.
Rev. A. Victor is one who
was led by God to lead this people. He was working in the Railways and
along with his secular job he was leading the church. Later in 1980 he had
the call for full time ministry and he obeyed and was able to do His
ministry in full time capacity.
In
1980 December, we were forced to vacate the place where we were worshiping
and kence wer started to worship in a temporary shed and worked there for
another five years with all inconveniences.
We
were praying very earnestly for a own place for worship. In 1985 God
helped us through Dr. James Garlow who was a missionary at Silchar India
for 40 years. He gave us some amount of money to buy a piece of land and
then through the help of many dear brothers and sisters, we finished the
church building work.
For
the glory of God we have been using this building for the last 25 years.
This year we planed to construct building the first floor. With the help
of many children of God we are now about to finish the work. Still we need
some more place for our activities we are planning to purchase our near by
land. The cost is very high but we are very sure that God will give us
this land one day. Please pray with us. for this special need.
At
present

is the pastor of this church. We have planted one church at
Palayampatti.

Kamarajapuram.

new church planting work at Jahindipuram. Bro. Idhayakani is our
church-planting worker.
