DO YOU KNOW JESUS?

Do you know that God loves you?

Yes He does! God loves and values you so much, He gave a Gift from Heaven for you to receive and be saved. He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die so that mankind could be saved from sin.

There is no other Name through which men can be saved and get to heaven. The only way to God is through His Son Jesus Christ.

Who is Jesus?

Jesus is the Son of God who came down to earth from heaven as a man to give his life for the world.
He gave His life so that man could have a relationship with God. However, it is sin that separates man from God, yet it is not His will that any man be eternally separated from Him but that all should repent (change their minds).

This was the reason He sent His Son Jesus who was the sinless Lamb - born for this purpose to be the mediator between God and man. He took the punishment and offered Himself to be a perfect sacrifice for the sin of all mankind.

When you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ you receive a new kind of life, which is Eternal Life.

What is Eternal Life?

Eternal life is a free gift from God through His Son Jesus Christ. Without Jesus, life has no meaning and purpose – in other words, it is a dead life.

God so loved the world that He was not willing any should perish but live eternally, sent His Son that whosoever believes in Him should live forever.

To live forever with God, you need to believe with all your heart the Name of Jesus that is above every other Name. There is One God who is a Spirit and just as the wind blows but cannot be seen, so it is when God comes in union with man. By receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, you receive this new life of God – eternal life.

When you have believed this truth, simply repeat this prayer with sincerity:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Thank you for the sacrifice of Your Son Jesus Christ, who died in my place on the cross. I believe that Jesus rose again from the dead to give me Eternal Life. I ask you to forgive me and to cleanse me of all my sins. I accept Your love and forgiveness. Come into my heart Jesus and be Lord over my life.

You said in Your Word, that if I confess with my mouth, that Jesus is Lord, and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be saved. Therefore with my heart I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and I am justified (just-as-if I’ve never sinned); with my mouth I confess that I am saved.

Your Word says, ‘Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved.’ Thank you for making me a child of God. Thank you Father, for Your free gift of Salvation through Your Son Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Hallelujah! Now that you are saved, you are a born-again child of God!

WHO WE ARE

Our Testimony

In 1983, Asha and I experienced the life changing power of God that led us to a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Since then we have been hungering and thirsting for the truth, understanding that Jesus was not just another religion, but He is Life Himself. We are thankful to God for His Salvation and Everlasting Love toward us that has brought Spiritual enthusiasm to love Him and His Word of Integrity. The Word of God has been real and enlightening to us through the relationship we have with Christ.

My wife, Asha and I know from experience the impact of understanding and acting upon the principles in the Bible. One of the simple but impacting truths we have discovered is that God wants us to be winners in every area of our lives!

We as a family, together with our two young daughters, Shamma and Shalome, enjoy serving our Lord Jesus Christ, who has truly blessed us!

Our Ministry

Believer’s Fellowship is a ministry that challenges and encourages believers to develop and mature in their walk with the Lord. We will never despise small beginnings from where this ministry was birthed. God has called us as a family to share His mighty Word with others which also includes the ministry of singing “Word based–faith filled songs.”

We are reaching out to the island of Sri Lanka and around the world with the Word that brings faith, hope, healing and changes the lives of people. Our vision is to spread the message of the Kingdom of God through literature, audio and video.

It is one of the greatest honours and joy of our lives to teach the truth of the infallible Word of God to the body of Christ. As the Word of God is spoken with boldness, power, and grace, I am assured that deliverances take place in the lives of believers. They are also encouraged, built up and equipped to do the work of the ministry.

This ministry is committed to the fullest of its ability to handle the Word of God with integrity, by the manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

We invite you to explore the many facets of this ministry.

Where Are We Located?

Believers’ Fellowship is situated in Dehiwala-South, West Province in the island of Sri Lanka, serving the body of Christ in English, Sinhalese and Tamil.
