EL BETHEL INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES Church

Praise the Lord

My name is Elizabeth, and I live in Australia. I began attending ELBIM on 17 July 2022 after my dear friends Mejosh, Riya, and Archana invited me to join the regular online prayer meetings and fasting prayers. Despite the time difference and work commitments, God miraculously opened doors for me to attend many of these gatherings. His grace has truly sustained me.

Through the prayers of His servant, Pastor Kiruba, I have witnessed countless miracles in my life. One of the most life-changing moments happened on 30 November 2024, when I suddenly experienced Ventricular Tachycardia—a life-threatening heart rhythm. I was rushed to the hospital and taken straight to resuscitation. Despite medications and two shocks, my heart did not revert to normal rhythm, and the doctors had no plan B. Being in the medical field myself, I knew how critical the situation was.

In desperation, I messaged Pastor Kiruba, and despite the time difference, she called and prayed over me. The next day, I underwent an angiogram, and to the doctors’ amazement, there were no blockages in my heart. Truly, it was the hand of God.

Another breakthrough came in my professional life. For 16 years, I had been trying to grow in my career—attending countless interviews without success. On 16 March 2023, during a phone call, Pastor Kiruba prayed over me and broke the generational curse. In April, I received a new job with increased wages, which opened the door to a two-year contract and significant professional growth. Glory to God!

On 5 April 2024, my 4-year-old son was admitted to hospital with dangerously low blood sugar. I reached out to Pastor and the church family for prayer. By God’s grace, all his results came back normal, and he recovered beautifully.

One of the deepest desires of my heart was to see my brother saved. I had been praying for his salvation for years. In October 2024, he gave his life to Jesus and was baptized. Hallelujah!

There are so many more testimonies that I could share, but even in this short space, I want to declare: God has been so good to me and my family. His faithfulness never fails, and I give Him all the glory and praise.

Thank you, ELBIM family, for standing with me in prayer. May God continue to bless each one of you abundantly.

Praise God

Praise God, my name is Thaya Sukumar. I thank God for bringing me to El Bethel International Ministries Church.

I am from Canada, and I am a part of ELBIM’s international community of believers who join our church every week online. My husband and I travel from Canada to New York, one Sunday of each month, to physically attend the Sunday service in the House of God. It has been such a blessing each month when we are actually in our church building in Port Jervis. Nevertheless, the power of God works even when we join online. Many people from around the world join online, and many get their healings and their lives are being transformed by the power of God while they attend church from a distance. I got the in-filling of the Holy Spirit online, during the Life Training School when Pastor Kiruba prayed for the Bible College students.
This church gathers every single day, sometimes twice a day, like in the early church. I have personally witnessed (seen and heard) the transformation of many lives through the anointing of God upon our pastors. I have seen spiritual babies being born and steadily grow very strong in the Lord within a matter of few months. Many people both young and old are being set free from addictions to drugs, smoking cigarettes, alcohol and immorality. As they continue coming to the House of God, they are getting delivered from different layers of sin that they were bound by and were hidden in. Pastors knows each one of their sheep in a personal way and give individualized council and prayer through the Spirit of God, bringing healing and deliverance to them.

They value each soul.

Whenever I hear the anointed and powerful messages from our Pastors, my heart cries out for those who are suffering and are in the dark with no way out, as I know that they too can experience the freedom and healing from Jesus Christ, if everyone around the world can hear these powerful God-anointed messages that can set them free.

I was a Christian for many years, but after joining ELBIM, my walk with God has changed to a whole new level. In the past, I was doing many things that were not right as if it was normal. My conscious didn’t alert me. These were anger, jealousy, pride, gossip, little lies here and there, wasting time on things that are not pleasing to God. These are not very obvious things and so can be easily not seen by people around me. Since I started attending El Bethel International Ministries church, I began hearing the powerful and Spirit filled teachings from our Pastors. Suddenly, God opened my eyes and gave me the awareness to the spiritual things which I did not have before.

I not only became aware of what was right and wrong but have received the power from God to overcome that which was holding me down.

Because we see our pastors lay down their lives for their flock and live what they preach, it has motivated me to also lay down my life for those around me. Also, when Pastor Kiruba blesses us, she blesses us with God’s authority, which carries the anointing of God. When she says “By the Power and Authority given to me by the Almighty God I bless you with…”, it is very powerful, very profound, and carries the power of God which releases us the blessings from God.

Upon attending my first Sunday service at ELBIM, I understood immediately, this is not a typical church. Pastor Pradeep, Pastor Kiruba, and their children as well, are truly led by the Spirit of God.

There is an authentic reverence for the Presence of God uncommon to any church I have attended throughout America. I’m not saying there aren’t others like it, I am saying this is the first church I have encountered where people come into the sanctuary, quietly and respectfully with the expectation, “I am here to meet with the Living God and I’m not leaving here the same way I came in!” For many years I left church with the same chains I walked in with, but not anymore.

Through the ministry of ELBIM, the Lord has used the anointed prophetic teaching of both Pastor Pradeep and Pastor Kiruba to profoundly change how I view God and my relationship with God. They are “shepherds according to God’s own heart who feed us with knowledge and understanding.” (Jer. 3:15) Through their example, time and again, they have “shown themselves to be a pattern of good works.” (Titus 2:7) They have sacrificed and surrendered much for my sake, my family, and our church. Countless times Pastor Pradeep and Pastor Kiruba spent many hours praying with me and my wife, for healing in our bodies, for God’s anointing in our ministry, for our family members who are not saved and for any spiritual need we may have. They have spent many hours counseling and training us to become more effective ministers of the Word of God. Through the laying on of hands and the prophetic words they have spoken over us, (2 Tim. 4:14) there has come an expansion of our ministry, as well as an impartation of particular gifts of the Spirit as we minister to the incarcerated throughout America.

ELBIM is a discipleship church where the pastors are very involved in our lives, “leading us in the path of righteousness...” (Psalm 23:3) Through this ministry the blessing of God has come upon our lives, our marriage, our children, our ministry, and even our finances. Outstanding among the blessings we received to date is the restoration of our relationship with our daughter who had been estranged from us for more than three years. There had been two prophetic words given concerning our daughter and the restoration of our relationship with her. Both words came to pass as we fully followed our pastors counsel.

On August 28, 2022, Pastor Kiruba laid hands on our daughter and prayed for, among other things, healing for a documented tumor discovered in her brain during a visit to the hospital. During that prayer, Pastor Kiruba declared the Lord healed her. That week our daughter went in to have a scheduled MRI. The following week she met with the neurosurgeon for the second time, and he confirmed the tumor was gone. Only God, through His anointed servant, could perform such a miracle!

In this church I have learned the fear of the Lord, humility and what it means to walk out my faith with sincerity and integrity within the will and boundaries of God. Prior to coming to ELBIM my faith was polluted by many of the teachings in this world that tickle a man’s ears and lull a man to sleep in his sin. You cannot separate the cross from Jesus Christ, rather I have learned bearing a cross is required to follow Him.

I believe the blessings of God that my wife and I experience today are the direct result of attending ELBIM and the love with which our pastors teach and lead us. At the center of everything and anything having to do with faith, our pastors emphasize the fear of the Lord and obeying the Word of God, which is doing the Word of God. This is not a church you come to and do your own thing. This is a church where you come to be fed, to grow and have the privilege to be led by anointed servants of God whose mission is the salvation of souls. (1 Peter 1:9) It is in this church and from a posture of humility anyone can become a true fruit-bearing disciple of Jesus Christ whose life glorifies God!

My husband and I have been attending El Bethel International Ministries Church for 3.5 years now. We typically drive 2.5 hours to attend. We're currently working in Maryland, so now it's 5 hours one way. Why? Because the Presence of God is in this church and Pastor Pradeep and Pastor Kiruba are truly anointed Shepherds who love the Lord with ALL their heart, soul, mind and strength, and deeply love their flock!

I've been a Christian for 41 years but this is the first church where I have truly been discipled, one-on-one by my Pastor. We have a morning call from Monday-Saturday and then service on Sunday. We also have Tuesday night Bible study and Pastor Pradeep and Pastor Kiruba also offer a 4 year Leadership Training School (at no charge!) on Thursday nights, so we are being fed daily, sometimes twice!

We are taught to be DOers of the Word and not HEARers only. They challenge us daily on our application of the Word of God so we will bear much fruit. They fast and pray for each one of us on a regular basis. They pour into our lives through private counsel and instruction. They are truly Shepherds after His own heart.

I have never met anyone like Pastor Pradeep and Pastor Kiruba, as well as their children. They truly do IMITATE Christ every day of their life. They walk in holiness like no one I've ever seen and they are truly humble. There is nothing they would not do for their sheep, if the Lord asked them, too, and I've personally seen them sacrificially give to many, many people, including myself and my family. Walking alongside them these past 3.5 years has shown me that I CAN live a holy life, separated and consecrated to the Lord.

I have grown more in the past 3.5 years as a Christian than I have in the previous 37.5 years and it's all because of how the Lord is powerfully using Pastor Pradeep and Pastor Kiruba. After being prayed over by Pastor Kiruba, I was healed of an anxiety disorder that I've had for 40 years, as well as decades of insomnia!

Our daughter was estranged from us for almost 3 years. The Pastors and their children were fasting and praying for her and for our reconciliation. As the Lord began opening doors of communication again they gave us very specific counsel, which we followed completely, and praise God our relationship with our daughter has not only been restored but it is better than it has ever been, which was a prophecy given to our church at the 2021 New Year's Eve service! Our daughter was also healed of a documented brain tumor on August 28, 2022. She had an MRI the next week and we went for a 2nd follow up with her neurosurgeon the following week, who confirmed the tumor was gone! Hallelujah!

My husband and I have also seen an incredible increase of anointing on our prison ministry as Pastor Kiruba and Pastor Pradeep have counseled us and as Pastor Kiruba has laid hands on us and prayed for us each time we've gone out on our yearly, 3 month long prison trip. Since coming here, our prison ministry is seeing many more salvations and deliverances. Praise God!

If you want to get serious with your relationship with God, this is the place to come. You will be warmly welcomed, and if you yield yourself to the Holy Spirit that is moving mightily here, you will be changed for eternity! To God be the Glory!

The first day I came to the church a little over 8 months ago, Pastor Kiruba said all hell broke loose and God showed her it was because I belonged to Satan, she was not afraid nor did they tell me to leave, There was a battle for my soul that they were willing to fight, they fought for me until I was released out of the shackles, out of satans tight grip and into Gods fold, that is love I am beyond grateful to have in my life. Due to the anointing placed on Pastor Kiruba and her desire to set people free, by God’s mercy and grace, I have been delivered from much including anxiety, depression, immorality, addiction to 145 mg/ methadone a day , fentanyl, and cigarettes, I have been healed from constant sickness, and severe costochondritis. I had no residual symptoms from detoxing after a few weeks of my last dose of methadone, usually it takes 6 months to a year. The detoxes, psychiatrists, psychologists, outpatient and in patient programs could not figure out the problem, God and His anointing placed on Pastor Kiruba is what set me free completely. I have been baptized in the spirit, and baptized in water, the old has passed away and I am a new creation in Christ, free from all the shackles. I have no desire to ever go back to the old life. This is only possible in 8 months because Pastor Kiruba laid down her life so others may truly live, Pastor Esther also, Pastor Pradeep’s deep passion and love for the Lord, encourages me, strengthens me to overcome, and persevere. Going from not caring at all about God to not wanting to miss a meeting, service, morning and desire to do His will is because of the love and passion the Pastors have for Jesus. Pastor Kiruba devoted many hours of her time to counsel and train me to fight spiritual warfare which has strengthened me to overcome many difficulties, and trials during the past 8 months. Thanks to the Pastors, and how they follow Jesus so precisely according to God’s will, my new and only goal in life is to hear God say well done good and faithful servant because I followed the glorious path my loving Shepard’s took and did Gods will with joy. I praise God for His love, goodness and mercy, thank you Pastors for your love, sacrifice, and dedication to Jesus and this body of Christ here at El Bethel International Ministries. This is more than a church, this is where I feel safe, loved and free. HALLEUJAH!!!
