THE SLIDE SHOW
Greetings in the marvellous name of Jesus!
I am so happy to tell you about our recent venture, a short Mission Trip to South India which consisted of showing My Hope film and Passion of the Christ in Telugu and Hindi languages respectively. It was about a year ago that we two pastors from Ambernath... myself, pastor Arvind Mantode and pastor Narsingh Pothraj sat together in prayer, when pastor Narsingh told me that he has been praying for certain villages surrounding his native village where the Gospel has been shared in a very minimal proportion and that he was having a burden to share the Gospel in these villages. Of course he had planted the Word in most of these areas for a short time about several years ago after he had received Salvation in Jesus Christ and was baptized which was around 1995. The Lord spoke to my heart and we wrote down the names of all the villages surrounding his native village...AJLAPURAM, in Yadgir Taluka and Gulbarga District in the State of Karnataka. There are nearly 15 to 16 such villages and we drew a rough map designating the approximate location of these villages, the copy of which I may send as attachment in the next email.
Our next step was to ask several people preferably in the Christian circle, in the Christian ministry or businessmen for a LCD Projector. But we couldn't get a ready reply and so we kept in our prayer this proposal about our Mission Trip to these villages which are located on the border of the two States, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Finally one Korean pastor gave us a HP LCD Projector as a gift, he is a friend our one of our team members who is a Korean missionary staying in India very close to our place in Badlapur and who has a ministry by the name of Global Community Love. After receiving the projector we were ignited to go on the mission trip and show these films in these areas, because we knew that God was providing our needs, so immediately we booked three tickets for us, pastor David, pastor Arvind and pastor Narsingh and we went on May 12, to Yadgir, where we took police permission to use the mike in public places, and the first village we went to was IDLUR and showed film in the Church because the weather suddenly changed and rains started pouring on outside, secondly we went to CHELERI and so on we continued going to AJLAPURAM, MAKTHAL, UJJALI, KOLLUR, SANGAMBANDA, KARNE,CHITALA. We encountered such problems as NO POWER SUPPLY in certain villages like in Cheleri and Karne and we could not show the films there but we could preach a good message in Cheleri and instead of Karne we moved on to Chitala where after about an hour's heavy rainfall accompanied by lightenings and forceful winds and stormy weather, we could still show three films once the weather calmed down, but of course inside the church and there were many local people to witness these films and after the films we gave a short message of Salvation in Jesus Christ followed by a prayer of confession, repentance and acceptance of forgiveness of sins by the Blood of Jesus and acknowledging Him as Lord and Savior in their hearts.We had an occasion to show MY HOPE(in TELUGU Language) and PASSION OF THE CHRIST(in HINDI Language). We could show these films outdoor in Ajlapuram, Sangambanda and Chitala and in other places we had to show them indoors because climate was unfavourable. This was our first mission trip MAY 12 TO MAY 22,2009 and we started our return journey by train again on 22 nd May and reached our homes on 23 rd.
So as you see we are the pioneers of our FILM MINISTRY, Pastor David Jeong from Korea, Pastor Arvind Mantode serving as pastor with the Free Methodist Church in Mumbai, India and Pastor Narsingh Pothraj, serving with the Abundant Life Assembly, Mumbai, India as pastor.
So we have a LCD Projector, a hand made screen, 50 watts sound box with amplifier, Lap top and several VCD/DVDs.
We shall be very happy if you shall support our film ministry by upholding it in your prayers and if possible by putting us in touch with a film ministry that is supporting different missionaries and evangelists because if God wants us to continue in this ministry we would be more than happy to work in the Film Ministry.
Thanking you and closing with love and regards with a special request for prayers that God will open huge doors for our ministry.
For His Glory,
Pastor Arvind Mantode
Statement of Faith
We accept those areas of doctrinal teaching on which, historically, there has been general agreement among all true Christians. Because of the specialized calling of our movement, we desire to allow for freedom of conviction on other doctrinal matters, provided that any interpretation is based upon the Bible alone, and that no such interpretation shall become an issue which hinders the ministry to which God has called us.
1. There is one true God, eternally existing in three persons -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of Deity and the characteristics of personality.
2. Jesus Christ is God, the living Word, who became flesh through His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit and His virgin birth. Hence, He is perfect Deity and true humanity united in one person forever.
3. He lived a sinless life and voluntarily atoned for the sins of men by dying on the cross as their substitute, thus satisfying divine justice and accomplishing salvation for all who trust in Him alone.
4. He rose from the dead in the same body, though glorified, in which He lived and died.
5. He ascended bodily into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where He, the only mediator between God and man, continually makes intercession for His own.
6. Man was originally created in the image of God. He sinned by disobeying God; thus, he was alienated from his Creator. That historic fall brought all mankind under divine condemnation.
7. Man's nature is corrupted, and he is thus totally unable to please God. Every man is in need of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
8. The salvation of man is wholly a work of God's free grace and is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works or goodness or religious ceremony. God imputes His righteousness to those who put their faith in Christ alone for their salvation, and thereby justified them in His sight.
9. It is the privilege of all who are born again of the Spirit to be assured of their salvation from the very moment in which they trust Christ as their Savior. This assurance is not based upon any kind of human merit, but is produced by the witness of the Holy Spirit, who confirms in the believer the testimony of God in His written word.
10. The Holy Spirit has come into the world to reveal and glorify Christ and to apply the saving work of Christ to men. He convicts and draws sinners to Christ, imparts new life to them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals them until the day of redemption. His fullness, power and control are appropriated in the believer's life by faith.
11. Every believer is called to live so in the power of the indwelling Spirit that he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh but will bear fruit to the glory of God.
12. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, His Body, which is composed of all men, living and dead, who have been joined to Him through saving faith.
13. God admonishes His people to assemble together regularly for worship, for participation in ordinances, for edification through the Scriptures and for mutual encouragement.
14. At physical death the believer enters immediately into eternal, conscious fellowship with the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting glory and blessing.
15. At physical death the unbeliever enters immediately into eternal, conscious separation from the Lord and awaits the resurrection of his body to everlasting judgment and condemnation.
16. Jesus Christ will come again to the earth -- personally, visibly and bodily -- to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.
17. The Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple men of every nation. The fulfillment of that Great Commission requires that all worldly and personal ambitions be subordinated to a total commitment to "Him who loved us and gave Himself for us."

We are glad to introduce you to Bharatiya Suwarta Mission, a registered charitable trust and as the name suggests, an organization pledged to spread the Good News of salvation in Jesus Christ for all mankind.25, Sirohiya Apartment, Rambaug Lane No.4,

Although Bharatiya Suwarta Mission actually came in to being on December 22, 2003
yet it had already birthed in the heart of founder-president Mr. M. S. Mantode way back when he put his hand to serve the objective of this organization viz., translation and printing and distribution of THE THOMPSON CHAIN-REFERENCE STUDY BIBLE IN MARATHI LANGUAGE. The work of translation was complete before we sought the permission of Mr. David Gage, President of B.B. Kirkbride Bible Company which publish the Thompson Chain-Reference Bible in various versions. So Bharatiya Suwarta Mission was mainly responsible for translating the chain-reference portion of the Thompson Bible in to Marathi, an Indian vernacular language. Marathi language is spoken by the natives of the state of Maharashtra whose population is estimated to be around 20 crore. out of which only a handful of 13,70,000 i.e. barely 1.3% are Christians. The remaining worship one or more of the 33 million deities of gods/goddesses created by man. As we all are aware that language changes it's form to some extent over a period of 40-50 years and it wasn't any different for Marathi.
The kind of Marathi in which the existing Bible is found to be is considered not to be in use and news grammar and sentence formation rules are laid down. These news rules of spelling use of words according to present literacy requirement were followed, making the Bible to be in modern Marathi language. Secondly, as imposed by the Kirkbride Bible Co., King James Version of the Bible was to be used to publish the THOMPSON CHAIN-REFERENCE BIBLE IN MARATHI LANGUAGE. Since the existing Bible version didn't match the KJV, it was written according to the KJV and compared with the English Bible to match the version.
Coming back to the inception of the Bharatiya Suwarta Mission, this charitable trust is registered with Government of Maharashtra, India with reg. no. E/3308/Thane.
In this site you will meet Jesus Christ in person. You will say how? It is very simple because Jesus is alive and more than you it is He who desires your fellowship with Him. You will ask, why should you need Jesus Christ of all the people, simply because the Holy bible says that " there is no other name given under the heaven and on earth among men by which man can be saved except the name of Jesus." You would say that's a lot of funny stuff, but just a moment! Do you believe in God? Has He put a passion for you to know Him? Or better still, have experienced the hand of the most high loving living almighty God in your life? What probable signs would indicate the presence of this living God in your life?
For one thing you should be familiar with a God who has unreservedly revealed Himself for us to have fellowship with Him. Another thing is that such a God should qualify Himself to the status of being so loving and caring so as to accommodate the frail personality of man. So let me start with proposing to you the Biblical metaphors used to describe man's personality.
1 Corinthians 15:1-11
This passage gives the content for message for evangelism:That Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the dead on the third day.
Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the WORD I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
WHAT GREAT MEN HAVE SAID ABOUT THE BIBLE
"Take all of this book upon reason that you can and the balance by faith, and you will live and die a better person." Abraham Lincoln "The reading of the New Testament has given me comfort and boundless joy." Mahatma Gandhi "I have known 95 of the world's great men in my time, and 87 of these were followers of the Bible." William Gladstone BELOW ARE THREE WIDGETS IN WHICH IS RECORDED THE GOOD FRIDAY(02/04/10) MESSAGE IN HINDI LANGUAGE....PLEASE HEAR THEM AND BE BLESSED! CONTRIBUTE GENEROUSLY TOWARDS OUR MINISTRY.
