ORDINATION SERVICE & PASTOR’S CONFERENCE

C F M ’ S O f f i c i a l N e w s l e t t e r

On March the 16th we had a great ordination Service with Rev. Joseph Osborn Overseer of KLCI –

London. 18 Gods servants were ordained on that day as a minister of CFM Network Churches. In

addition to that we had 130 pastors who attended the conference that day. We focused to encourage

the pastors and motivated them to multiply the churches. By the support of the lord we provided

lunch and bus fare to the all participants. The anointing of the lord was eminent during the conference.

We thank God for what God is doing through CFM Network Churches. CFM is also grateful to Rev.

Joseph Osborn and his team for their sacrifice and all their efforts to bless us. We are totally privileged.

GREETINGS FROM REV. ELLIS & TEAM

Rev. Ellis William

Dear friends Easter Greetings from CFM. Hope you enjoyed the

presence of the lord in your Easter service. CFM, CLCC, GCH, and all

our co-workers, network churches and my family members are

praying for your family and ministries. Hope the risen lord will be with

us to conquer and move forward towards the Vision, Goals and Plans

that he has set for you. May the Lord bless you abundantly!

Leadership training

& Revival Meetings

March 18th we conducted leadership

programme for all our local leaders.

Our church deacons, deaconess,

Sunday school teachers, reception

team members and volunteers

participated. Rev Osborn empowered

us with powerful leadership teachings.

It was very useful to drive the ministry

according to His will and by His Word.

Evening Revival meetings started from

the 19th to the 20th March. The total

body of Christ were revived by these

meetings. Every member of the church

was edified and as a result we see

more people in prayer.

SILVER JUBILEE

By the Grace of God Rev. Ellis & Rachel completed 25

years in our marital life. My son Sam Ellis was

conducted the whole programme. Pastor. Osborn was

our chief Guest with brother John Nganga, Ratna John

and Alex. The Head Quarters church arranged the

whole programme. Ellis and Rachel renewed their

vows to each other. Pastors Ellis & Rachel commented

that their 25th celebration was extravagant than their

actual wedding day. Extended regards and thank you

to all who sent greeting on that day. From the words of

Pastor Ellis, “We praise God for all His goodness for

past 25 years. We thank God for my Sam, Shiny, all my

family members, my church family and all friends. With

Tears I remember my dad Duraisamy and my mum

Thavamani even though they are in Gods home they

are in my heart. I praise God for my parents life.”

Visit to the Life Centre at K. Poondi Village with Rev. Osborn & Team

LIFE CENTER

We had a great evening at K.Poondi Life

Center on March 21 with Rev. Joseph Osborn

and team. We enjoyed the long drive

through the countryside and reached

K.Poondi village where the life centre is

located. On route we also enjoyed fresh

tender coconut and traditional meal on

banana leaf. As we sensed in our spirits that

the village is highly dominated and

influenced by evil powers, myself and the

team prayed a warfare prayer walking

around the village. We bound and rebuked

all demonic interference in Jesus name.

Later on we had a lovely welcome by our

children from the free tuition centre

project, which was then followed by the

planting of a coconut tree in the Life Centre

garden.

Later in the evening under the Good news to

the poor project we proclaimed the gospel

of Jesus Christ to the village people. More

than 40 people came for that meeting. Every

one enjoyed and joined with Rev. Osborn

and his team in praise and worship. Many

people were delivered from curse, disease

and bondage under the mighty power of

Jesus.

“Many people were delivered

from curse, disease and

bondage under the mighty

April 22nd from 10:00 am to 1:30 pm we

had our fasting prayer meeting with

meditation of crucifixion. Our members

were praying with tears for each other

and for the nations. Our Easter Service

started at 8:30 am with powerful worship.

Rev Ellis gave resurrection message and he

encouraged the people to salute all the

missionaries from all over the world who

carried the burden and did missionary

work in India. Every one realized the

missionaries sacrifice and commitment.

All of our branch and network churches are strengthening and edifying after

our regional visits with Rev Raven Nair and Ps. Chantal and also by the effect of

Rev. Joseph Osborn & team’s Conference. Every village pastor has a zeal for

God and committed to do a great thing for kingdom. New souls are adding in

our churches. Through our ACM life centers we are seeing great breakthrough

in the communities. We are seeing our dear lord’s countenance through our

free tuition centre children and Grace Home children’s smiles. Our kid’s never

forget to pray for you all. Our mission, vision and its needs are growing. I hope

and pray that the lord God will increase our CFM friends to fulfil His great task.

I sincerely thank all our partners and well-wishers who stand by us and support

us in every step of our journey. Together we can do all things in Christ Jesus.

Amen!
