Handsworth completed
On 19 September Emmanuel Church in
Handsworth, Birmingham gave thanks to
God for the completion of their church
building project with over 200 people
gathered
from
churches
around
the
Midlands region as well as other parts of
the country.
The pastor, Juge Ram, shared a brief history of the church and how ‘their times have
been in God’s hands’. He explained that the
church was initially planted by WEC missionaries
in the 1970s to reach the
local
South Asian population
in Handsworth.
The work slowly grew over the following
years under various
leaders, all of
them
WEC missionaries. The church became an
independent evangelical church
in 1997
under the current pastor.
