Founding Pastor

PASTOR LINCOLN SUARES TESTIMONY

1971, the year the greatest miracle of my life took place, under the ministry of Rev. Ovid and Helen Dillingham. I was saved, filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, my life was radically changed. I went from strength to strength, from how great I am to how great thou art, from building my body to the body of Christ and from lifting weights to lifting Jesus up-if I BE LIFTED UP I SHALL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME. With great joy and peace I began walking my new life in Christ.

THE CALL OF GOD IN MY LIFE

In 1978, the Lord called me into full time ministry. At two in the morning as I was praying and crying out to the Lord the room lit up with a great light and I heard a voice saying to me “Resign your job and start the church”. Immediately I resigned my job from a leading news-paper press (The Deccan Herald) in Karnataka State with a training from east Germany. I went from PRINTING TO PREACHING, praise His mighty name.

 

 

MY BROTHER IN LAW & SISTER


My sister Beverly and David have been a blessing to this ministry. It was at her persuasion to go for the meetings at the AOG church, that was the time I went and was saved, my life was radically changed from that moment.

THE PRAYING GRAND MOTHER

The prayer warrior behind the scenes, who with her fervent prayers has brought many souls including me into the kingdom of God. A firebrand for Jesus, she walked miles and miles to attend prayer meetings. When she prayed in the spirit she would burst forth in holy laughter, it was part of her life.

The latter years of her life she spent praying for her family and neighbours to come to Christ, a few years later her prayers bore much fruit, not only her family but her entire neighbourhood was saved, above all her favourite grandson was saved. Hallelujah!

She handed the baton to me and told me to continue the race and bring many souls to Jesus. After saying this to me, she closed her eyes and went to be with Jesus.
