Brief history....

Mrs. and Bro. K. Z. M. Santhi Raaz            M.A., M. A., (Edn) 

​

    The India Bible Mission had its Head Quarters first in Rajahmundry. While the work was progressing vastly towards south, God granted 0.3 acre of open land here in this place in 1957. Dr. K. Manoharam's foster mother Mrs. G. Eswaramma too acquired another 0.3 acre of an open land for her own. But Dr. Manoharam donating her mother's property too to IBM, established a church and a Bible Collage to train the students and appoint in various churches. Thus it has become the HQ. Since then in every year the Annual Conventions are held here. All the constructed sheds are washed away by the 1969 floods. The place became a desert. Though the local people belong to a church of different doctrine, were baptized after knowing the truth.  Till 1986 the death of Dr K. Manoharam, the church gathered in his own house. Later his daughter Mrs K. Sthothra Rani, ministered among the local believers and strengthened them. Bro. Raaz shouldered the responsibility in 1998 after he was elected as president of the mission, until his death in 2019.

​

    As the local believers started to grow and requested for a separate church building, Mr. Raaz constructed the present church in 2004, spending his family earnings, with the support of others help. He ministered the church with the help of local pastor Mr Emmanuel who is now ministering as a main pastor in the church after Mr. Raaz`s demise. Mr. Raaz's only son Dr. K M Melchizedek was elected as the new president of TIBM in 2019.

 

The church number is growing rapidly. Bro Raaz got a vision in the month of January 2014 for a new and big church in the present place. God started working with his vision, so a new church building was under construction.
