From the pastor

Dear People,

Pulpit Calendar Time and again Christians have voluntarily

provided opportunities to their detractors to criti-

Check-in 15 minutes before service The Indian Churches have always been in the news
for the wrong reasons. If its not for conversion
then is has to be for unauthorized selling of church

12 Pastor Ashish H Khan by pointing to these hypocritical defects within the
19 Shyam Babu Christian community and refuse to listen to the
26 Shyam Babu offer of salvation. Sadly, often Christians team up
with non-believers to harm the church and the peo-
ple of God.

cautious to not tread the path as taken by some of
the other churches and their leaders. We are very
clear with our mission statement that we exit only
for worship of the Creator God and serve Him
through the church. It is this essential DNA of
ours that has kept us on the right path since our
birth. Let us all be always mindful of this purpose
and accordingly offer ourselves for Gods service in
a suitable capacity. Yes, we are small in number as
of now. But we are not small in zeal and
determination. Let 2017 be a year of action for
GBC. Let us do something new together as a church
that will benefit the community around us and will
glorify the name of Jesus. All the members of GBC
must feel the burden of ministry of Grace Bible
Church. Let us pledge to always uphold each other
in prayer and be available for the church.
While the people outside may pick holes in the
church at large, let us maintain our faith and wit-
ness among the masses.
In Him,
Ashish
