Azariah Samuel, pastor of this assembly left his job in Saudi Arabia, in obedience to the call of God which was so compelling. He was born to godly parents who brought him up in the fear and knowledge of God. He grew up with a burning passion to reach people with the gospel, he was careful not to miss an opportunity in sharing the love of Jesus with individuals he met. He was well equipped for min
istry in prayer and faith through many years of walking with God, sitting under the ministry of many God's servants; he boldly stepped into full-time ministry in Erode in the year 2000 fully trusting the Lord. It is a place where Christian population is small and forms the minority group. The evangelistic work with a zeal and burden for souls with a dedication and commitment is lacking. This place needs the anguished prayers of many as thousands are perishing without the knowledge of the Savior and salvation. The name of the church "BETHEL GOOD NEWS MISSION” was given to him by the Lord himself in answer to his prayer. Particularly this ministry was started with the ambition of preaching the Gospel to the Muslims. He had been visiting unreached peoples and by the mercies of God preaching the Gospel to the poor villagers and bringing them in to salvation. We are a community of God's people full of grace and holiness who gather together to glorify God, striving to grow deeper in love with God and people, existing to impact the world with the word of God, miracles, signs and wonders through the power of the Holy Spirit.
