Village Ministry
Village Ministry – Sunday 2:00PM Nothing in this world will ever be able to separate the children of God from the Love of Christ. This is a fact and apparently not many are aware of this fact. Then, would it not be our responsibility to tell those of the love of Christ? It indeed is! We visit different villages to share the Gospel & celebrate the joy of being together with the villagers. We sing songs together, songs of various languages with lively music. We share our testimonies with them. We share the Word from Bible, with the help of God and the leading of the Spirit, we boldly proclaim that Jesus is the Way, The Truth and the life. We praise God that we also hear testimonies from people residing in those villages, we get many new contacts & few of them join us for Sunday worship. We have a special session for the children from those villages. We teach them few new songs with actions which they sing with bright smiles on their faces. We know they love it. We tell bible stories and verses from bible. Every time we visit these villages, we have love feast arranged by the people of village, we sit with them enjoy eating together!!!. We thank God for his leading in this ministry. “Go ye therefore and teach all nations………” Matthew 28:19
All Night Prayer
All Night Prayer Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. Lu 6:12 There is no use in talking to the people about your problems but you can talk to God because God listens and answers!!!. Your voice matters in Heaven. He takes you very seriously. When you enter his presence He turns to you to hear your voice. You are not ignored even if you stammer or stumble, even if what you say impresses no one, it does impress God, because you pour out your heart. We fast and pray every Friday from 7:30 Pm & all night prayer on every 2nd Friday of the month from 10:00 PM onwards, remembering the needs/requests of people/our Church/church members. We receive lots of prayer requests through our TV program and we intercede on behalf of the viewers and for their prayer requests. As we pray in the name of our LORD JESUS, we experience HIS faithfulness in answering to our prayers. The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. Ps 145:18 God Listens… Intently…. Carefully!

Bible Study Tuesday 8:00 PM
Bible study is the key essence for a believer to grow spiritually. Learning & meditating upon the Word of God brings you much closer to God. We gather on every Tuesday for a Bible study at 7:30 Pm, one book from The Bible is picked up and learnt in depth. We ponder on the word of God, yearning to understand the hidden message recorded by The Lord to us, of course, with the help and leading of the Holy Spirit. Group discussions & questions are encouraged to know various points of views and conclude on the most coherent view. These studies have been a blessing to many. It leaves us more and more amazed when we understand God and His love for us. “Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. Mt 28:20

The youth gatherings have been a wonderful place for the youth to get along and grow more and much more in the knowledge of God. We want the same blessings to be passed on to many youth of the city of Bangalore by organizing Bangalore Telugu Christian Youth Retreats to bring all the youth from Telugu church across Bangalore under one roof! It brought so much joy to our hearts to meet our peers from more than 100 various churches located across Bangalore. We all had decided to come together with just one though in our minds- to spend the day in God’s presence and to pick up God’s message, to be a blessing in their churches & to witness at their respective places, where God has placed them. This retreat was conducted on August on the 15th for a day, with wonderful praise & worship, multi linguistic songs, a play, choreos, icebreaker, group activities brining out the talents of the youth and Bible quiz on the schedule for the day. The main event for the retreat was bible quiz the portion for which was shared in advance with all the churches. Reward for winning church was a rolling shield and cash prize. Well, runners up didn’t return empty handed. They had rewards too. Each item was moral based, leaving the youths with learning and a message. We had various speakers across challenging youth on various aspects of life. We praise God for this. After disperse, we believe that this crowd never missed any opportunity to glorify God. Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1Ti 4:12 We praise God for helping us built this platform to challenge youths for Christ.
Sunday School At 10:00 AM
Give to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness! 1Ch 16:29 God placed his hands on the shoulder of humanity and said “You are something special”…And so he allows us to freely go to him any time any place any day, just as we are. We enjoy being in his presence on every Sundays while we gather for worship at 10:00 Am. We have a multi-linguistic crowd but a gathering of Telugu speaking people form a major part of church. Singing songs in Telugu and Kannada, we experience the Holy Spirit moving in our midst. We praise God by singing his praises. “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Joh 4:24 We then worship the God for who HE is, remembering all his attributes, we cannot but praise him with all reverence in their own language and then people of the church together worship the Lord, It is a heavenly experience, and we could feel & enjoy the presence of the Lord. “… Faith comes by hearing the Word of God…” Every week we hear to God talking to us through various speakers. Sometimes the message is delivered in English and is translated in Telugu. God knows the depth of our heart, there HE gets to the point and He answers, comforts & challenges us to live a life that is pleasing unto the Lord!!! We have the Holy Communion every first and third Sundays of the month. Fellowship lunch is provided every Sunday after the service to all & we have time of fellowship while we sit to eat & getting to know each other more closely. While we look back, we see that we had indeed had a blessed day; we see that it was a beautiful day. Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool. Ps 132:7
