Vicar's Message


Dearly beloved in Christ,


For every true Christian, this month is an important month because Our Hero could overcome severe temptation and celibate the Divine plan of salvation at the end.

Being an imitator of Christ we the true disciples are expected and encouraged to follow Him.

True believers are always expected to overcome temptations like 

Jesus Christ did...you may have doubts in mind... is it possible with us, yes, it’s possible because Our leader could do it successfully when He has gone through temptation.

For this we need the help and support of Holy Spirit.

Someone crying around us for Salvation and waiting for the presence of Savior Jesus Christ.

That’s how they also can enjoy the coming of Messiah into their life.

Progressively every true Christian have to celebrate the Divine plan of Salvation, finally we may get into the right direction and reach the destination point.

This hope of culmination should lead us and guide us into the point of resurrection, the resurrection from every dead situation, and every stinking circumstance on our earthy life.


When we enjoy the freedom of resurrection, we might be eligible to guide others into this true path of Faith, which is our Mission about the purpose of life. May The resurrected God be with us and enable us to be 

the true witness for the sake of our mission on this earth. Because every 

Horebians have the privilege of being an active missionary for the glory of God.

Blessed and happy resurrection 


Yours in Christ,

Lovingly, 

Kochummen Achen .
