In 1969 Rev. Dr. Roland Miller gathered a group of students and conducted a Bible correspondence course campaign in Calicut. On the basis of their findings it was decided to start work in Calicut. Revs. Henry Otten and G. Vishwanathan, with their spouses, took it up. . With funds provided by the then Manitoba and Saskatchewan District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (now the Central District, Lutheran Church–Canada) and the "Forward in Remembrance" campaign, property was purchased and the Good News Centre was constructed. It was completed in 1983 as a three-story all-purpose building, with a separate pastor's residence. The compound is situated on a very busy road in a suburb called Meenchanda, which means "Fish Market." The Centre is dedicated to the task of "catching" people, as Jesus commanded. . In the Good News Centre, Rev. T. Joseph and Mrs. Joseph conduct an active nursery school on the first floor, with the second floor reserved as a worship centre and a Bible correspondence course centre. The top floor is used for rental purposes to gain income. |
The Good News Centre–a three-story building–includes the Good News Church, a nursery school and a day-care facility. |
