Letter from

Testimony
of Bishop
Charan Masih
Sahota

Prayer
Request
|
I am
originally
from Pehowa,
Haryana. I was
born on 30th
March 1966 and
I was brought
up in a Sikh
family. We are
5 brothers and
2
sisters.
My father is a
farmer.
I used to work
with them on
the farm. Evil
demonic
spirits
possessed my
two sisters.
Someone came
and told us
about Jesus
and then
Pastor Prem
Masih came to
our home and
prayed for my
sisters and
God delivered
them.
When we
came to know
about Jesus
Christ, my
sisters were
released from
these spirits.
Thus in 1977,
my whole
family
accepted Jesus
Christ as
their personal
Lord and
Savior. When I
received Jesus
Christ, I was
12 years old.
After high
school, I got
a job in
Haryana in a
milk factory,
but I was not
happy. Inside
something was
telling me to
serve the
Lord. One day,
I read a book
about Sadhu
Kishan Singh.
God used this
man of God
powerfully.
His testimony
inspired me so
I decided to
serve just as
he had done.
I left my home
to start
ministry on
21th Jan 1984
when I was 18
years old. I
came to Ropar,
Punjab and
rented a room
for 80rs ($2).
I had nothing
in my home so
the first day
I slept on the
floor without
a cot or
mattress.
Nobody knew me
there. I used
to distribute
literature in
the market. I
met a sister
and her
husband who
was demon
possessed.
They shared
their problem
with me and I
shared the
Gospel with
them. I prayed
for him and
the Lord
delivered him
from the evil
spirit. So
they received
Jesus Christ
as their
personal Lord
and Savior.
They were very
happy and
their whole
family (5
members)
started coming
to church. I
started my
first Sunday
service with
them.
These people
shared the
Gospel with
others and
many sick
people and
demon
possessed
people started
coming to
church and the
Lord delivered
them from
their sickness
and evil
spirits. So
church was
growing. Our
room was very
small so we
shifted to
another place,
which also
became too
small
afterwards.
Many people
started coming
to church and
God touched
them. Some are
still with us
today.
In 1984 Holy
Ghost
Ministries was
founded by
Charan Masih
Sahota and was
registered
under The
Government of
India in 1994.
In the year
1997 we
started Light
of Life Praise
and Worship
school for 4
months with a
total of 12
students, that
was our 1st
batch. Till
now we have
completed 18
batches from
which around
1600 students
graduated and
are working in
different
parts of
India. So then
in the year
2014 we
started
Worship and
Music School,
which was for
one month. In
this school we
taught them
about Worship
and they
learnt
different
musical
instruments
along with
singing.

HGM
has many needs
and expenses
to carry out
the ministry,
especially,
for the three
year Bible
College
salary
salaries for
the teachers,
the Dean, and
the Principal,
the ongoing
cost of
buildings,
electricity,
water,
computer,
supplies,
projector,
screen
etc. The
main thing is
the people in
the assemblies
are all poor
and cannot be
expected to
contribute for
tithes and
offerings.
Some of them
do bring fruit
and vegetables
to compensate.
Thus, we need
sponsors and
partners to
help us run
our programs.
Our needs are
many all
financial. We
must pay for
the upkeep of
the two vans
(one very old)
and buildings,
pay the staff,
feed all in
the school and
keep up the
computer etc.
We also try to
help the poor
and widows
when
necessary. All
the pastors
under me,
themselves,
need extra
support each
month. They
have many
needs to be
met such as
rent, food and
supplies if
they wish to
work full time
in the mission
field.
Please
consider
adopting a
missionary at
$50 only a
month so that
the work of
the Lord may
be boldly
carried out to
establish His
kingdom.
As well,
many students
want to do the
three year
Bible study in
English, but
don't have the
funds to pay
to complete
their studies.
The total
tuition for
each student
is $860.
If you feel
led to help a
student to
accomplish
their studies,
please contact
us.

like Biblical
faith. It’s
faculty,
Board of

History
Holy
Ghost
Ministries was
established in
1984 as a
project of
India Inland
Mission. It
originally
began as a
four month
Institute
dedicated to
train men and
women in
evangelism and
church
planting in
North India.
Owing to its
remarkable
effectiveness
in its first
year, many
inquiries
flooded in
regarding the
training
program. In
January 2010,
the 4 month
program
rapidly
developed into
a more
comprehensive
formal three
year program
as the student
body
expanded.
Our Bible
school
students come
from all over
India and
neighbouring
countries.
It’s graduates
are enabled to
enter
ministries of
worldwide
impact.
Mission
Statement
Mission
The mission of
Holy Ghost
Ministries and
Salt Bible
College is to
train men and
women as
approved of
God and equip
them for
ministry
consistent
with Biblical
teaching, in
order to reach
the Indian
Subcontinent
and the world
with the
Gospel of
Jesus Christ.
The SALT
Bible College
Statement of
faith
We
believe
God is one
being
who exists in
three persons:
the Father,
the Son and
the Holy
Spirit. God is
Sovereign, the
Creator, and
the Sustainer
of all things.
The
Scriptures,
both Old and
New Testaments
are the
inspired Word
of God, a
revelation of
His will,
inerrant in
their original
writings, the
infallible
authority of
Christian
faith and
life. Jesus
Christ is the
eternal and
only begotten
Son of God,
conceived by
the Holy Ghost
and born of
the Virgin
Mary, truly
God and truly
man. Through
Christ’s life,
atoning death
and
resurrection,
He
accomplished
the work of
salvation. He
ascended into
heaven and is
now at the
right hand of
the Father as
our High
Priest and
Advocate.
