Reply came - after 13 years

Last saturday(August 25, 2007) evening, we had baptism service in our church. This was arranged on a very short notice. Mathew Abraham's family( Sheela ammama, Shemi & Temi) obeyed Lord's command by taking water baptism. According to Mathew uncle, every one and he specifically was praying for this for the last 13 years. 13 years!!!. That's a long period. But if we pray without ceasing, Lord will surely answer our prayers. Because He is a God who answers prayers. This is a proof of that.

Uphold this family in your prayers. Let this step of faith change the entire atmosphere of that family.

Worship started in new Church Hall- August19, 2007

This Sunday(August 19, 2007), we started sunday worship service in the newly constructed church hall . This was dedicated on August 15, 2007.It looks good and sound proofing is also very effective. The only issue we have to handle now is the humidity/heat issues. The worship service is really spirit moving and new church hall is almost full , specially on ladies side.

This sunday two more people took water baptism. Amal(Evg.Saju Pappen's elder son ) and another sister witnessed Lord publicly by taking water baptism. Its a great step that they took and Lord will honor them. Pastor P.M.Georgekutty baptised them and he was the main speaker today. He spoke from Acts 9:10-11. Mainly talking about the personalities Judas(who accepted Saul in his House) and Ananias(who prayed for Saul and baptised Saul). We need such personalities in todays church who is open to Lord's calling and command, whatever it may be.
