FROM THE PASTORS

Dear Grace Bible Church family,

We are completing 25 years of our exist-
ence this month. The church of Christ
has only one purpose - to worship the
Lord and grow together spiritually. At
the same time, we witness to the people around us and
reach out to them with the grace and salvation of Jesus
Christ. As I look back at the twenty-five years of our
church, I (along with some of you) stand as a witness to
God’s graciousness and faithfulness to His congregation.
In 1997, I was a 20-year-old young boy. I needed a
church where I could grow spiritually with Godly men-
toring. As a family, we became the co-founding mem-
bers of Grace Bible Church. My family had to suffer a lot
because of this decision (my mother in particular).
My mother was tormented by her superiors since she
was the Principal of a school which was run by the church
that we left. But we chose to be a part of Grace Bible
Church despite the oppositions. We have never regretted
our decision. My spiritual life was shaped a lot by the
Biblical sermons and warm fellowship of Grace Bible
Church. My decision to leave my teaching vocation at the
peak of my career and join Union Biblical Seminary was
also influenced and supported by the church. I learnt mu-
sic, songs, hymns, the church discipline, and theology
from Grace Bible Church. I got several outreach opportu-
nities too. Meanwhile, several new families joined GBC
and also had to leave because of transfers. The strength
of our church continues to be Bible based sermons, inter-
cessory prayer and fellowship. In this jubilee year, let us
recommit to make strategic efforts to reach out to more
and more people around us. Let us pledge out time, tal-
ent and resources for this purpose. I wish a joyous Silver
Jubilee Anniversary to the wonderful congregation of
Grace Bible Church.
In His service,
Ashish
