About Us
Our Mission: To preach the crucified Christ, rooted in John 3:16 and empowered by the Great Commission (Matthew 28:20).
Our Story:
In 2013, the Lord gave a clear vision to my wife and me to establish a Hindi worship service in Dombivili, Manpada. Guided by His timing, we began this ministry on August 5, 2023, in a sister's home.
After eight weeks, we transitioned to a rented space of 250 square feet, where we held regular evening prayers on Tuesdays and Sundays. During this time, we were also active members of a Pentecostal church located 25-30 kilometres away.
In mid-2016, the Lord called us to step out and pursue independent ministry. This was a difficult decision, as we had been key members of our previous church for over 16 years. After six months of prayer and discernment (July to December 2016), we launched our independent ministry in January 2017.
We named our ministry "Mount Carmel Fellowship Church" and continued to serve from our rented space. In 2018, through a miraculous provision, we could purchase the very building we were renting.
As the Lord blessed our ministry, new people came to faith, baptised, and received the Holy Spirit. The church grew steadily. In 2022, we were again blessed with the opportunity to purchase another similar space just four rooms away from our church.
In 2020, we established a new fellowship in Bhiwandi. Additionally, in 2023, we resumed a Hindi worship service in Diva, which had initially begun in 2013 but was discontinued due to various reasons. We appointed a pastor and provided support to this ministry.
The Bhiwandi fellowship faced challenges in December 2023, being disrupted and halted by a radical group. This incident involved police intervention and legal proceedings.
