8th Anniversary of Lifetime Fellowship

Last Sunday (15 July 2007) was the 8th Anniversary celebration of Lifetime Fellowship. The celebration was a great blessing. We had about 250 people in attendance which includes both our 9am and 11am services. One of our friends, Sam T. Varghese, pastor of Life Fellowship in Trivandrum came and spoke to the people. It was a great time of casting vision and prayer as we look forward to the coming years.

Although the Sunday services started in 1999, the actual foundations began to be laid from 1997 onwards. We began with small groups in various colleges surrounding the city of Adoor. It was in 1999 that we began Sunday services. In 2001, we had a group of 30 college students gathering for worship each Sunday. It was then that we began to reach out to the local community with the Gospel using a Cell Group structure that we call Carecells. Finally, after six years of struggling with Carecells, and restarting four times, we finally multiplied our first cell. This was our prayer and focus since 2001.

I believe that our cells are healthier now than ever before. The leaders and people have caught the vision and are actively evangelizing in their neighborhoods. The attendance for each cell is increasing. Finally, some of the people in the church that refrained from attending cells are beginning to realize its benefits and they are also starting to attend.

The Cells are the key to evangelizing India. I am convinced that without it, we will not be able to penetrate the one Billion people that God has given to us. So continue to pray for us, especially for our Carecells.

Waiting to hear your response.
