About Our Church
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.”
John 15:16.
Philadelphia Revival Church: A Profile
What God had completed before the foundations of the World was manifested through His Son Jesus Christ, who said it is finished. The Holy Spirit and the churches of the living God manifest the completed works of God even today
Philadelphia Revival Church therefore was birthed and established in the heart of Almighty God and is now being manifest through the hearts and minds of some who chose deliberately to stand firm in their God birthed convictions in the Holy Spirit strongly backed by the written (logos) and spoken (Hrema) word of God, greatly valued among them.
The Early Days
The church began to operate in the residence of Pr Ninan’s father and then moved to the house of another believer- disciple by name Thomas George who is now an ordained minister of the Church serving as the secretary of the board.
In February 2009,we saw the first believer’s baptism under the auspices of the church. From 2009 March there has been a regular gathering in this house under what now operates as the Philadelphia Revival Church.
By June, the church now filling the basement decided to meet at a nearby Hotel (Ramada Group) which was operating on the famous Roosevelt Boulevard.George A Samuel an ordained minister of the gospel joined the congregation at this time with his family.He was also ordained as a minister of the gospel in this church later.He currently serves as the treasurer of the church board.
2010
In 2010 The Lord moved the gathering to a new place of worship,namely to the basement hall of The New Life community Church located at 2680 Huntington Pike, Huntington Valley,PA 19106.
In 2010 the Lord brought about the baptism of many souls.
Many a baptism has since decorated the ministry of this church.
2011
PRC was registered with the governmental authorities receiving the 501(c) 3 status.Exemption from sales tax as per the Pennsylvania Government was also procured during this Period. 2011 also was a landmark in the life of the church as the Lord led His church to conduct a big out-door and open air gathering at the premises of the New Life Community Church. (Evening with Jesus -> Click here to view) During this period the church had one service which was bilingual with Pr Ninan preaching in English and Pr George translating in to Malayalam, a native language of Kerala India.This pattern was prevalent till September 2015 when it was decided to have two separate services devoted to a particular language.
2013
The Lord began to enlarge the vision of the church.We knew that the heart of the Lord was always in missions. We did not know how, when, or where.
Finally, in the summer of 2013 HE opened doors as Pr Ninan was able to travel to India and visit churches in the states of Punjab and Mumbai.It was a three-week schedule that involved many ministries and churches and one that saw the gracious hand of the Lord delivering people from sicknesses,diseases and demons.
