CBLJC - Church of Body of Lord JESUS Christ, Athumanesar Ministries

Pastor Antony was born on 25 May, 1958. Since his father had accepted Jesus as his personal Saviour, he was brought up in the fear of the Lord, worshipping the Living God, and not any idol. During his teens he gave himself for ministry and waited in prayer. Later when Jesus called him for His ministry through visions, he hesitated. Then he fell sick. But when he regretted his mistake and surrendered himself again unto the high call of God, he was healed.
In January 1980, Pastor Antony left his home with a single dress and some money to Tanjore to meet Apostle D. Asirvatham. Joining him in ministry, he came to Trichy. Day by day the Lord trained him in ministries. Through many valleys of Bacca, He taught him what faith in Him is.
In 1983 Pr. Antony got married to Ms. Arul Mani. With none to support, they bent their knees before God to pass through every hurdle. Jesus was their only hope! They started a small prayer fellowship in their house. God began to add many souls through signs and wonders. God blessed them with three children. The God of all mercies also granted them a place to build a church. Brick by brick it was raised upon by faith alone!
Days rolled by and the church building could no more hold enough as souls multiplied bountifully. And our JehovaJirehprovided a bigger place to build a new church. No donation was collected; it was built through prayers of tears and faith. The church, by the grace of God, was built on 4500 sq. ft. and worship service began to be held in the first floor. God has added 5 branch churches. More than 40 prayer cells (out of 120 prayer cells as envisioned by God) are being conducted.The church is moving ahead expecting great things from God!
