New Additions to the Family of God

It is one of the most wonderful thing to witness new souls being added into God's Kingdom.  Sajitha got saved last year and ever since it was her prayer to see her brother Lalith to come to God. He is a 10th standard student. They were staying in a far away place but God helped them move into Ulsoor and since then Brothers reached out and studied the Bible with Lalith. He was very eager to study the Bible and to be a disciple. On 26th Nov he got saved. Their mother is really impressed to see both her teenage children have made amazing changes since they came to Church. She too has promised to come and study the Bible.



Rekha has been coming to Church for a long time. She had many challenges to face to be a disciple. Initially she felt it is too hard to be a disciple. But later on she took the challenges and gained faith through prayer and Bible studies, she too surrendered her life to Christ on 29th Nov.



Shekar and John were friends and neighbours for long time. Once when John became a disciple, he reached out to Shekar. He did not come very soon. But one day he stopped his bike when he saw John and said take me to your Church. From then he started studying the Bible. He too had many hurdles to overcome and found it is quite challenging. But he did not give up. He was open about his struggles to the brothers who could guide him to Christ and with the power of God, he overcame all his sins and accepted Jesus as his Lord & Saviour on 29th Nov.  He comes from a village in Tamil Nadu.  Couple of years he studied in a college and hostel run by Christian missionaries.  That is the time he was introduced to Christ.  But he was always worried that he is not really following Jesus even after coming in touch with Him. But now as he completely turned to Jesus and tasted the great victories, he feels like the best thing to do in life is to be a missionary! Now that is his dream.

Amazing Grace

Many years back when Krishnamoorthy became a disciple, his father was against his decision and did not talk to him for 2 years. Because of his habits, he got serious lever disorders to the point he became bed ridden. Krishnamoorthy reached out to him and reminded him about the importance of following Jesus atleast now. He became willing to study the Bible to know Jesus. Brothers reached out and studied the Bible in the same night on Friday 13th Nov. He could only communicate with actions as he was unable to speak any more. He was so eager to accept Jesus that same night by 11:40 he got baptized into Christ.

On 15th Sunday he even took communion and the very next morning he passed away to be with Jesus. God can save anyone at anytime. Truly His grace is amazing!
