“But by the Grace of God I am what I am and His Grace which was bestowed upon me was not in Vain” – 1 Cor 15:10
Rev K. William Booth
“all glory belongs to jesus christ, who was and is and is to come and to him alone it belongs”
Dearly beloved greetings to you in the matchless name of our Lord Resurrected Jesus Christ. The world continues to be an uncertain place where the unpleasant changes in the weather, environment and political spectrum of the world pose greatest universal challenge to the society while the earth quakes, tsunami, civil wars, deadly viruses especially Corona threatens peoples existence and safety across the globe. This situation calls the church to reflect on the hope of Resurrected Christ. This present scenario of the world gives an opportunity and solemn time by God to renew our commitment to Jesus to review our lives and repent for restoration to the truth of the word of God and preparation of our Lord Jesus Christ Second coming.
Despite being underserved and unworthy some years ago I heard the audible voice of God asking me to commit my life to Serve Him for full time ministry to raise an army for the extension of His Kingdom. Upon receiving the highest calling from God and under the direction of His perfect will I was appointed as a Pastor to Bethany M. B. Church, Jadcherla in October 1995 by the Church Council. God anointed me to serve Him in various facets in the church. From the day I was appointed till today God has given by His grace, His presence, His guidance and the power of His Holy Spirit to minister in the church. In the beginning of the ministry in the church the activities were limited for a lesser extent. But God has increased the boundaries and extended the limitations of the boundaries and help to bring many lost souls back to Him.
As per my family I am blessed with two children. My eldest son K. W. Jim Eliot working for Ranstead Company, Hyderabad. My Second child K. Victoria studying B.Tech 2nd year, Hyderabad. My Wife K. Shobha Rani D/o Late K. J. Daniel was a former chairman of Bethlehem M. B. Church, Christian Pally, who is assisting and supporting me in the family and my ministry as Pastoramma in the church.
As the Lord bless the church the congregation has increased both numerically and spiritually. The cottage prayer meetings are held every Tuesday and Friday. These cottage prayer meetings brought a lot of positive response and encouragement to believers and families. Apart from the cottage prayer meetings, Sunday School Ministry, Youth Ministry, Women’s ministry are fruitful and blessing to many under the guidance and support of the church elders. God has given many fruit full results as an outcome of these ministries. Prayer is the heart and backbone of the church to grow and develop and gain maturity. The church has started prayer tower ministry, fasting prayers, morning prayers, special prayer days and night prayers are being conducted consistently. The elders ministry in the church was very much appreciable. They proactively visit the sick and disturbed family which are in need of counseling and encouragement. As a result the believers of the church brought confidence and boosting up the levels of unity amongst members of the church. In the end I acknowledge all the elders and wings of the church and all the believers for their earnest prayers, encouragement and support all these years in the ministry for which I am ever thankful to all. My world of thanks to all.
May God plans and purposes be fulfilled in and through the church and witness of the church both in the spiritual and physical realms bring glory to His name through all generations in the days ahead. I hope and wish and my honest prayers that the church be the channel of blessing to many in these last days and to prepare to meet the Lord of his second coming.
Thank you all.
Your’s Lovingly,
Pastor. Rev. K. William Booth
