Joyful Fellowship Pratigya Church (Toribari)
Joyful Fellowship ChurchIt seems challenging to keep racing with one goal in ministry. God sets His goal in our church; the church needs to nurture the vision for growth through the various ministries. But In 1998, it was not the same as the beginning, I was belonging to a non-Christian community there worshiping God was not allowed, Therefore I & my family had faced hardship there & needed to leave my own village. I sheltered in Jaigoan, where I started my ministry life with Himalaya Crusade, I was evangelizing under the leadership of John Bhutia, He was my spiritual mentor, as far so long I can remember that in 2003 or 2004 I was going through the worst time in my life, our family was suffering from the financial crisis and poor health condition, I had five kids, among them, two elder kids were suffering from disease, we could not afford their treatment fees, in result, they lost their lives. But we never forget to glory our almighty God in every circumstance, our family & our church always try to maintain to give honor to Him. Praise the Lord! I am Pastor Bhim Bahadur Tamang, Senior Pastor of JOYFUL FELLOWSHIP PRATIGYA CHURCH at Jaigoan, Alipurduar, West Bengal.
“Matthew 28:7-
Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, the is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.”
I prayed to God for showing me the vision to move out for ministry in my neighborhood. I paid attention to this word of God, He guided me to minister for His loving children. He builds his church for our believers and we started to gather to glorify Him. At an early age of the church, we were few families to accept Jesus Christ as a savior, at the same time we met with a JFC church pastor, who shared about JFC organization and their vision, which encouraged us to be the part of the JFC, after few months finally we joined with JFC through prayer, now God is working through our church & JFC Day-by day & peoples are confessing their sins and dedicating their life to Christ. Not only church ministry, but we are working to develop
our community through various social development activities, providing free education, hygienic and school supplies to needy children, organizing health and social awareness programs through our church in cooperation with JFC. Our local church is running a nursery school for the local community children to educate them, During COVID 19 pandemic we provided Emergency Disaster Respond Kits to many families in our community.
