Testimony:

God Given First Church in Dhule District
Pandit Jagtap was wandering for an answer for depression and met the Vishwa Vani worker Ramesh Gavit. He shared the Gospel and prayed for her. As a result the Bachala mission field was opened! The gospel that Changed Pandit Jagtap has also done wonders in the unreached region during the last two years. The gospel has made 30 families to stand firm in Jesus Christ. The Bible Study group was started in the house of Pandit Jagtap. The families that gathered in the Bible Study Group donated land for the construction of a church. Mr. Melwin Joseph from Mumbai sponsored for the construction of a church and the Bachala church was built. As the fourth Vishwa Vani church in Maharashtra and the first church in Dhule district, it was dedicated on 08.06.09 for the Mouchi and Bhil believers. We greet and bless in the Name of Jesus the believers who have donated the land and the family of Melwin who has sponsored for the church building. - Prakash Gadre, Kalyan
