We are an international community of Christians comprising of expatriate believers from different parts of the world. Focusing on the Living Word and relying on the Holy Spirit, we are intentional about what God has intended for us – to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. And this happens through…
Ephesians 5:26 – “that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,and…
John 17:17 – Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.”
2 Corinthians 3:18 – “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.”
Romans 8:13 – “If by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.”
2 Tim. 2:22 – “So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.”
Hebrews 10:24 – “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.”
There was a time when ministry at labor camps was possible but with laws getting stringent, different avenues had to be explored. In 2017, God led us to begin a worship service in Hindi/Punjabi with 20-25 laborers i.e. low wage earners, coming from different labor camps throughout RAK to worship and honor Yahweh. They are now our Punjabi congregation. We have seen God break drug and alcohol addictions and set people free from fear and demonic oppression. Consistent discipleship have seen various ones testify, exhort and even preach the Word. This ministry takes place on Thursday evenings at 8 p.m. at St. Luke’s compound
The Lord has blessed Sis. Hephzibah with the prophetic anointing. She has been used by God to speak into people’s lives, to discern strongholds and demonic influences, which once dealt with, launches one to greater intimacy with our LORD. Also over the past few years, God has used Sis. Hephzibah to prayerfully interpret various dreams. We have been amazed to see how God is so intensely purposeful in desiring to set his people free.
