HIS Church

While doing the series on the Parables of Jesus — specially on the Parable of the Sowers — the Holy Spirit of God asked me: “Have you sown the seeds in your own neighbourhood?”

I had no answer to Him. Because I was just born and brought up in the same community, and people knew me in and out. As the Bible says, no prophet would be honoured in his home town— but the Spirit of God constrained me to reach these people.

“With a little amount of loaned money we set up a small thatched-roof structure — and had gone through many birth pains. But today, we have more than 70 familieswho are first-generation Christians worshipping the Lord at His Sanctuary.”

— Pastor Jay

What started as a humble gathering in a borrowed structure became Bethel Prayer House— a living, breathing congregation in the heart of Vijayawada. Over 70 families — most of them first-generation Christians — now worship, pray, and serve together in this sanctuary that God built from nothing.

What God did in one neighbourhood became the model for what He would do in hundreds of villages across three Indian states. A church born in faithfulness, multiplied by grace.
