April to September 2025

 

Church of Glory – Ministry Update 

“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” – Psalm 126:3 (NKJV)

These past six months have been a beautiful journey of faith for all of us at Church of Glory. From April to September 2025, we’ve seen God’s hand move among us — in our ministries, our prayers, and our hearts. Whether in a quiet village or a busy town, in a child’s smile or a whispered prayer, His love has been our strength and our story.

Outreach Ministry

Led by our dear Pastor and Evangelist Nannu Islam, the outreach team traveled across many areas — from the outskirts of Dhaka to the hills of Chittagong — carrying the Good News of Jesus Christ. Through the Jesus Film shown on tablets and personal, heart-to-heart conversations, many people heard the gospel message for the very first time.

Evangelist Sourov Rema faithfully shared the Good News in Mymensingh, using digital tools to reach hearts that technology has now made possible. Evangelist Shirazul Islam reached people face to face, offering gospel tracts and booklets with love and prayer. Each encounter was a reminder that even one soul turning to Jesus is worth every step we take.

Children and Youth Clubs

Our Little Champions and Teen Legion clubs have been growing beautifully in faith and friendship. The children received special training programs that helped them grow stronger in Christ, and we celebrated their efforts through a joyful prize distribution event.

A very special moment came when, through Generation Bangladesh, we had the blessing of giving Christmas gifts to our beloved children. The sparkle in their eyes and the joy in their hearts were precious reminders of how deeply Jesus loves the little ones. Each gift was more than just a present — it was a message of hope, care, and God’s love wrapped in simple joy.

Truly, seeing our children worship, learn, and smile has been one of the greatest blessings of these months. They are the heartbeat of our future — God’s little force with big faith!

Prayer & Intercession Ministry

Together with the Dhaka Pastors’ Fellowship, our Prayer and Intercession Ministry has continued standing in faith for our churches, our nation, and the world. In these uncertain political times, we’ve gathered to pray for our leaders, both religious and governmental, asking the Lord for heavenly wisdom, peace, and guidance.

Every time we pray, we feel His presence strengthening us, reminding us that when God’s people unite in prayer, His light breaks through the darkest clouds.

Church Enrichment Ministry

Through our Church Enrichment Ministry, Pastor has encouraged local congregations to become faithful stewards of God’s blessings. His visits and teachings have inspired many believers to serve God wholeheartedly — with their time, talent, and treasure. Many hearts have been stirred to renew their commitment to Christ and to live as shining witnesses in their communities.

Every testimony, every prayer, and every little act of love from these months tells one story — God is working among us. We praise Him for His goodness and grace that continue to flow through Church of Glory, and we move forward with faith, carrying His light wherever He leads.

All glory to God!

A Journey of Faith

 

Our Journey of Faith: Church of Glory

In January 2017, by the divine leading of the Holy Spirit, God planted a seed of hope in the hearts of two faithful servants—Pastor Palash D Costa and Pastor Atul Manda. With a shared vision to reach the unreached, inspire believers to walk like Christ, and be good stewards of God’s creation, Church of Glory began its humble journey as a Baptist church.

This was not just the beginning of a church—it was the birth of a movement, a family of faith where love meets action.

A Vision Beyond Walls

The vision of Church of Glory goes beyond Sunday gatherings. From the very beginning, our calling has been to go where others do not go, and to love those who feel forgotten. That is why we launched a variety of ministries with one heartbeat: to make Christ known.

1. Training for Transformation

We believe every believer is a disciple, and every disciple is a light in the darkness. To equip the saints, we have developed training programs focused on the Word of God, discipleship, and practical Christian living. These sessions help believers grow in faith, understand their calling, and live like Christ in their daily lives.

2. Outreach to the Unreached

In obedience to the Great Commission, our outreach team travels to hill tracts and remote villages, especially where no church yet exists. With prayerful planning, each visit is carefully scheduled with a clear goal and loving purpose.

Our dedicated team brings with them Gospel tracts, the message of salvation, and the light of Jesus, sometimes even showing the Jesus Film when the opportunity arises. Whether in a home, a field, or under a tree, the Gospel is proclaimed with love and respect.

3. Special Support for New!

Many who come to Christ in difficult areas face persecution and rejection. Understanding their struggles, we offer a special loan support program to help new believers start small businesses and rebuild their lives with dignity.

In moments of urgent need, we also try to offer temporary financial aid to those who have lost jobs or are in crisis. Though we are not a large church, the generosity of our members makes all things possible. Their faithful giving reflects the heart of Christ—caring for one another in love.

4. Our Worship Gatherings

Every Sunday at 7 PM, we come together to worship the Lord in spirit and truth. These gatherings are filled with prayer, worship, teaching of the Word, and deep fellowship. Whether you are a seeker, a believer, or someone just passing by, you are welcome to visit, to rest, to rejoice, or to simply watch and wonder at what God is doing.

5. Join Us in Prayer and Praise

We know that not everyone is called to go, give, or serve in the same way. But if your heart is stirred by what you read—rejoice with us. Praise God for the lives He is changing. Celebrate the work He is doing through ordinary people with extraordinary faith.

We do not seek applause—we seek prayers.
We do not seek crowds—we seek connection with hearts who love God’s mission.

If you feel led to support, we welcome it with gratitude. But even if not, your prayer, your encouragement, and your appreciation of God’s work is already a blessing to us.

Our Servant-Hearted Leadership

Behind every growing ministry is a team of faithful people who serve not for recognition, but for the glory of God. At Church of Glory, we are blessed with a humble and committed leadership team who walk by faith and serve with love.

Each member of our committee brings a unique gift to the ministry—working together with one heart and one purpose: to build up the Body of Christ and extend His Kingdom to the unreached.

Here are the dedicated individuals God has called to lead and guide our church:

• Pastor – Mr. Palash D Costa
  A man of vision and deep faith, Pastor Palash is one of the founding leaders of our church. His heart burns to reach the lost, to teach the truth of Scripture, and to shepherd God’s people with compassion and wisdom.

• Advisor – Mr. Shirajul Islam
  With years of spiritual experience and mature counsel, Mr. Shirajul serves as a trusted advisor to the church leadership, offering guidance rooted in prayer, Scripture, and love.

  
  

• Training & Operation – Mr. Probin Mark
  Mr. Probin plays a key role in organizing training programs and managing outreach operations. His dedication ensures that every mission effort is thoughtfully planned and faithfully carried out.

• Finance & Accounts – Mrs. Shiuli Roy
  A woman of faith and full dedication, Mrs. Shiuli Roy serves in the area of finance with honesty and prayer. Her service is not just administrative—it is an offering of love for the Kingdom of God.

Together, they represent more than roles or responsibilities—they are servants of Christ, faithfully doing their part in the vineyard of the Lord. Please continue to keep them in your prayers as they guide the Church of Glory in this divine mission.
