Rev. Linen Shalom. L
I am Linen, 29years old doing God's Ministry in OSC - kattupakkam. I have completed my B.E(Aero)., M.Div., and now currently doing 3rd year Doctorate in Ministry, Even though I had God's call from my Childhood, I tried to hide from the calling & wanted to get to away from it. But God had different Grand Plans for me.......
But after my Appa entered God's Glory on 25.08.2017, My Amma after few weeks, suddenly called me took me to alter and asked me to Pray for Ministry standing in alter, I was so shocked by my Amma's move. But Amma said me that God is Calling you for his Glory, Then one night i asked God that if he really wants me to do the ministry, i must get a dream, in my dream my Appa has to come and say me. God accepted this small boys request and on that same night dream God granted my wish.
​
From there my ministry started (on 2018 Jan 1) as a Church Pastor and now its been 7 years completed in ministry where our CREATOR has been so faithful in my life & ministry
CHURCH HISTORY
OUR SAVIOUR CHURCH was founded by our beloved Bishop Rt.,Rev.,Dr.,R.Lawrence (B.Th.,M.Div.,M.Th.,KLP.,Ph.D.,)
Our Bishop iyya & amma were very sincere to God, they had their complete trust towards God in all situations so that,
they decided to give their Life saving of their own Land which was bought on 02-02-2002 for their son,
so that a beautiful CHURCH will be Established so that many souls could be saved in Kattupakkam for God's Kingdom.
​
After they decided to give it to the God's Glory, God gave a Beautiful start for building Church on 2006 July,
and by the end of 2007 May, OSC was built by God's Grace. 2008 our Iyya family came to this OSC
and stayed here and started the ministry, Iyya went to South Korea for his studies, that 10 months were very crucial
but due to the steady Faith amma took the Church Lead position and started the services and many Church Members
joint those days which became a great motivation so that after our Iyya came back finally the Grand Blessed
Opening of Church happened on 2009, May 1.
​
Ministry may look easy but its actually a Great pain which our Iyya and amma took it just to Gain Souls for
God's Kingdom, there were many debts, even crossing a month would seem like a year due to the struggle that they
faced. But their Steadfast love for God made them move on and on for Church and God seeing their Truthfulness started to Bless the Church and many members came to Church. Our Iyya is a very strict person who likes disciplined to be followed in Church. He treats everyone as his brotherhood. People coming to OSC, would never forget amma hospitality, which made all members a warm welcome.
​
God seeing this Sincere ministry, 2012 God gave our Iyya a recognition of BISHOP which is a very beautiful Lifetime memorable moment. The Church congregation was so Excited to see our Iyya now getting transformed to Bishop iyya. Then the Ministry took even more Extra faith steps and God Blessed our OSC Ministry. We had many people who were against us, opposed us, but Our Iyya took all opposition in Faith and our Bishop amma's prayer made us march forward in Ministry. Many numerous miracles began to happen in the Life of our Church members.
​
But on 2017-August-25th, God wanted to give rest to our Bishop Iyya and called him for his Kingdom, it was a sudden and unexpected situation where the Church and Bishop Iyya's family got stumbled. Many people thought, spoke, even tried to ruin the Ministry. But God made a clear statement to all insisting, This is not the End, Its going to a New Beginning and started the 2nd Dimension of Ministry marching even forward for God. Our Bishop amma took the President position of Diocese and with lots of Fasting Prayer, and our Church people encouragement and our well wishers motivation, especially the Calling of God, after our Bishop iyya, his son Linen Shalom. L, who was working in AIR INDIA, chennai, left everything for God and came to this Ministry.
On 2018, Jan 1, God Anointed him as our Church Pastor, a young chap 22 years, entered in for God, and God has moved so much through him. Even though we lost our Bishop iyya, his last words at alter was to renovate Church. Now on 2019 after our young Pastor received his Reverend Ordination, we started a Big project of stepping in the construction of Church. It was a days of very tough and pained days, but God lead us through and now God gave a beautiful and Grand Church both Exterior and Interior. The people who step in our Church are guaranteed to feel God's Presence. We can never forget our Church members and supporters who continually helped and prayed for this construction. Now our OSC is turning to be a Landmark in Chendurpuram, Kattupakkam
​
The Loan debts were too high because of this construction, followed by an unexpected lockdown for months, but as this Church always keeps God at its centre, God makes us get through all situations, there were even times that were so rough like a wave, but our God through his promise verse that he gives us every sermon makes us get back in Faith and Pray, then succeed in trials.
Our Bishop amma prayer and faith makes us to expand our Church in always, both spiritually and physically. Our Committee Members support all decisions taken by amma and proceed in Church, where the Congregation whole heartedly accepts it as OSC FAMILY and march forward in building the Kingdom of GOD.....
