Who We are / The History of One in Christ Ministries / Church

 

Pastor Johnson Paul had a strong Divine Calling on his life from his childhood. After his secondary school certificate, he went to St Mary’s Seminary, Lahore, Pakistan for ten years seminary studies for Roman Catholic priesthood but God had a different plan for him which made him to leave after four years of studies. In the responsibility of Radio programme producer in Pakistan Christian Recording Ministries, Faisalabad, Pakistan, his Biblical knowledge was broadened then in October 1992, in North Africa, Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”   After being Born Again experience, God started His Preaching Ministry, and he established a home prayer group under the name of “Well-wishers Fellowship” which brought a great personal prayer revival among Christians and Non-Christians.

 

In August 1994, near Sahara Desert, North Africa, during his administration work in an oil drilling company, an early morning, Divinely, he got Galatians 3:28 “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slaves nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”  After this inspiration, he started the first regular Church group under the name of “One in Christ Church” with the mixture of Filipinos, Sudanese, South Koreans, Egyptians and Pakistanis people.

In August 1997, he came to the UK for Computer Engineering studies but God according to His Plan for him, made him to complete Theological degree from South London Christian College, London, UK and in March 2000, he was ordained as a Minister of Gospel which changed his title from Brother to Rev۔ Johnson Paul. God Blessed many through his preaching and teaching ministry in the UK, Europe, UAE, USA, Canada, South Korea, India and Pakistan.

God Moved him from London to Nottingham, England in August 2001 where the first regular nondenominational Church was launched in February 2002, since then “One in Christ Church Nottingham” have been a great blessing to the locality and throughout the UK with a good fruit, ordaining and releasing three persons for the evangelistic ministry.
