Messages from Ministries in India and Abroad

Dear & Respected UECF Leaders & Members,

It was said that there were 7 most intelligent people

in the world in the first century AD. Apostle Paul was

one of them who topped that list of seven.

Paul while in prison writing a letter to the believers at Philippi said - Rejoice in The Lord always, and again I say - Rejoice. If a man sits in a prison cell which was a dark & cold dungeon could write as above, we have no reason not to rejoice and to complain.

True joy comes to us, humans by realizing the sin in our nature as well as our thoughts and deeds. By faith in Jesus followed by our repentance, God forgives and plants the seed of joy in us. This kind of joy is real and eternal.

When God’s love encounters a person based on his faith & repentance, joy from within bubbles up like a flood. God-given joy transcends the sadness, worry, and grief, that we as believers may face in life. We have every reason to REJOICE in the Lord.

I commend you all members of UECF for serving The Lord diligently and continue to provide the fellowship to Telugu families. Challenges followed by needs are part & parcel of life and even Church life. God’s love, however, gave us every reason to REJOICE.

God has appointed and used UECF to impact many lives for 20 years. I do admire the leaders involved in keeping UECF alive & active. I congratulate UECF members on your celebration of 20th Anniversary to REJOICE in The Lord. May the Joy within you all overflow in your celebration!!

In the Work That Counts, When the Master Returns,

G. MOSES CHOUDARY

Dear Joshua,

Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

I am truly delighted to know that UECF is completing 20 years in the sacred ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ. I know it was a humble beginning then but now grown into an awesome ministry. Any ministry which has the calling of the Lord and a vision will truly flourish and your is a perfect example. At the same time leadership is the key! You and your team have provided excellent leadership over the years and as a result UECF has grown phenomenally and is reaping a rich harvest now.

The multi-faceted ministry of UECF has been a great source of blessing to many over the years. I recognize your relentless endeavor to conduct every worship service with so much prayer, preparation and order. Particularly the meticulous way you execute every event is truly commendable. Your commitment and dedication to UECF has been extraordinary. UECF website is a master-piece. It is praise worthy to note that you all are taking much time to update the website regularly and provide beautiful Christian devotional songs and sermons to all the Indian Christians. Indeed your website is a great blessing! I am so grateful that you give me an opportunity to preach in UECF each time I visit USA.

On this historic occasion, I congratulate you all! May our Lord Jesus Christ grant all of you his

abundant grace and and the anointing of the Holy Spirit as you continue to serve Him. I wish you immense joy and peace as you celebrate this great occasion.

With Prayers.

Beloved Bro. Joshua Pilli & Leadership of UECF Church,

I am absolutely delighted to greet and congratulate you all on the occasion of UECF’s 20th anniversary.

I came know about this Church through my older brother Mr. Thomas & Mrs. Dayamani Kalyanapu in 1999, and over the years UECF gave me many opportunities to minister the Word and made this as a startup platform for many Indian ministers and it was a great blessing for them too. I am grateful to the seed you have sown into our ministry that made the difference in many lives. Those days I was ministering only in Andhra Pradesh state but now by His grace we have expanded our territories in to 14 northern states of India, the seed you have sown will never go in vain , when our Lord returns with rewards he will surely say " WELL DONE UECF "

Your ministry through UECF.NET website reaching millions worldwide and I complement that your website is the best of all, because you have uploaded countless collection of messages, songs and other useful information of great Ministers of God and even you have hooked up our small organization ecclesiaministry.org to UECF for which I am ever grateful to you.

On the occasion of UECF’s 20th anniversary, I pray God's abundant grace and extraordinary anointing upon the leadership and to renew their calling. Commitment and Compassion to take this ministry to higher dimensions and prepare His Church for His coming .

Thank you and may God bless you,

Yours for the souls of India,

It was indeed my pleasure and privilege to take this opportunity to congratulate the U E C F family, for their wonderful commitment, dedication and hard work in order to be united in proclaiming God's kingdom and Word and also being a blessing to many men and women of God who visits from around the word, from the time of inception of UECF.

We hear the testimonies of the family members of UECF and just thank God for the faith instilled in the church. UECF has truly been an instrument in the hands of God. It stands as a Bethel for the many who seek hope and encouragement.

The dedication and passion exhibited by the UEFC Leadership is contagious and only strengthens people around them.

Dear Mr. Joshua,

Blessed greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I deem it a great privilege to greet and congratulate you all on the occasion of celebrating the 20th anniversary of the UECF Church.

I always feel proud to have longstanding association with the Fellowship and I cherish my fond and pleasant memories I had during my visits to the US and the moments of my joyful participation in its activities like Christmas carol singing, celebrations, Lenten devotions, outing etc.

I admire the wonderful services that the UECF Church has been rendering all these years for the Indian Immigrants and especially the incoming new visitors from Andhra who find it as a safe and peaceful haven where they feel ‘at home’ being instilled with a sense of belongingness and a spirit of oneness as one Christian Community thus fulfilling the dream of its founding pioneers.

I am glad that the Fellowship keeps up its ‘Evangelical fervor’ as appropriate to its title, in supporting and encouraging Gospel Ministries in India and in particular, we feel grateful for your continued charitable gesture towards the Andhra Evangelical Revival Forum which has been serving the rural congregations in Guntur area for the last 30 years. We appreciate your dynamic leadership, insightful planning, and meticulous execution in the church organization. We always remember you, your family and all the members and we pray that God may strengthen your hands and use you mightily to attempt and achieve greater things in the days to come for His glory.

God bless you, Yours in His service,

Dear Joshua Pilli,

My family and I would like to extend our warm greetings to all of you on your 20th Church anniversary. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate all the UECF Church members as you celebrate 20th anniversary thanking the Almighty God for His grace. May His love dwell richly in the house of the Lord as you begin another milestone in harvesting for the Lord what belongs to Him.

When we read the book of Zech 4:6, the Bible says, this is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel “Not by might nor by my power, but my spirit says the Lord Almighty. I thank God for all the blessings bestowed upon UECF Church congregation through these twenty years of ministry. I praise God for His love and faithfulness in continuing this ministry and reaching out to many Christians and non-Christians all around the world.

I visited UECF Church for the first time in 2007. I was welcomed in to this Church by giving me an opportunity to share my thoughts on Mother’s Day. I felt great love and affection by the president Mr. Joshua Pilli and all other families of UECF Church. UECF Church treats elderly people with great love and respect. They honor and encourage them in many aspects. I attend UECF Church services whenever I visit my daughter’s family Mr. Samuel Rapaka, Mrs. Sanjotha Rapaka and Shiran Rapaka in New jersey. I have great memories going to Christmas carols all through the night with all the UECF Church families singing and praising God. UECF Church women gather to celebrate Women’s Christmas in which I am privileged to share the word and encourage them few times. I feel honored to be loved by them. UECF Church families encourage one another in their joys and sorrows. I have seen that love and concern for one another. I pray that they will continue in love, unity and peace till Christ’s coming.

I pray that all the leaders and members of the Church will renew their efforts and energy to continue the work started with passion for the glory of God and the advancement of the kingdom of Christ.

I wish Pastor Ravinder, Joshua Pilli, Sam Chilaka, Joshua Shaik, Anand Devi , all the Leaders and UECF Church families a wonderful celebration and I pray that UECF Church celebrates many milestone anniversaries like these in days to come. Remain confident that God will walk with you until the end of the journey. God bless you all! Stay blessed!

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs. HELEN PATTA

John Charles Pilli & Mahitha Charles

We deem it a privilege to have been associated with UECF for over a decade. UECF has grown tremendously all over the US and also many other countries - especially for the rich enriching content on its website. UECF has gained a wide outreach, bringing millions of believers together in watching Sunday Worship videos or Choir songs

or accessing many biblical references.

A special word about the Gospel music on the UECF site. An incredible collection! It’s commendable that a huge number of believers and others across the globe are impacted by this gospel music and a host of relevant material in multiple languages. Also need to mention that UECF has been encouraging gospel singers like us

and is also collaborating with such Christian organizations.

Thank you, UECF, for also allowing us to collaborate with you in this mission and we pray for the success and

growth of the ministry, as it celebrates this special occasion.
