Founder’s Message

Remembering with deep gratitude.

“For we are strangers before Thee, and sojourners as were all our fathers; Our days on earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.” 1 Chor. 29:15

“For here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come.” Heb 13:14

“For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also look for our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.” Philip. 3:20.

When I reflect back on the last twenty years of the Calvary Fellowship Church ministry in Oman, I could only bow my knees with deep gratitude as the great apostle Paul has said: “Unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.” And I am also humbled by  the fact that, great faithfulness, of God our Father who has through His Holy Spirit has strengthened C.F.C. to stand as His mighty witness in this beautiful Kingdom of Sultanate of Oman.

In the past twenty years, God has faithfully provided wonderful pastoral leadership to C.F.C. Oman. Currently Pastor Raju Thomas and family from Bombay is serving as the Pastor of C.F.C. Oman. Time after time God also enabled many dedicated and loyal elders to serve as the executive members of the board of C.F.C.

On this special occasion when C.F.C. is celebrating her 20th year of ministry, truly it is very commendable to see, the youth wing of C.F.C.’s sincere effort to develop the church website. May our Heavenly Father be pleased to provide them, the courage and strength, to serve their generation, as David did in his age. “I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart who will fulfill all my will.” Acts 13:22,36.

The words of a song which I have heard long time ago still rings in my ears and challenges me again and again to dedicate my life to His great mission.

“I want to serve the purpose of God in my generation
I want to serve the Kingdom of God while I am alive
I want to live my life for something that will last for ever,
Oh, I delight; I delight to do your will.

What is on your heart
Tell me what to do
Let me know your will
And I will follow you”

Dear brothers and sisters, let me conclude with these words, let us remind ourselves as the above quoted Bible verse describes, that we are the citizen of the Heavenly Kingdom living here for a short time. Therefore remember, “There is only one life soon it will pass, Only what’s done for Christ will last. Only one chance to do His will, so give to Jesus our Lord all your days. It is the only life that pays when you recall you have but one life.”

God Bless
