Having
such a rich working and musical experience, God has a different plan for
Rev. Vinay’s life.
God called Rev. Vinay to give
himself totally towards his work. A sudden wave of divine peace and hope
followed him. He received a vision in 1999 to spread the Good News of
Jesus Christ. He started serving Lord Jesus Christ with only 12 people.
His unquenchable thirst arose to spend hours over the life-transforming
pages of Eternal Truth-The
Bible. Spending
hours talking to God and seeking Him with all his heart has been the
prime goal of his life ever since. This group of 12 used to gather in a
small house for worshiping the Lord of Lords. None of them were having
the in-depth knowledge of Word of God. But God had a different plan for
them. They all were the chosen ones.
A day came when God poured out his
Holy Spirit on Rev. Vinay and filled him with anointing and power of the
Holy Spirit. This had changed his perspective about life. God with his
divine plan chosen Rev. Vinay and started using him for his glory. He
started ministering in a small town called SANGVI in Pune District. As
he offered himself for the work of God, God started using him greatly
with all the weaknesses he had in him. He become a strong character in
the Lord with persistent pray and devoting his precious time to the
Lord. As he was faithfully serving lord, God started releasing his plans
in the life of Rev. Vinay. He started preaching the Word of God with
Power and authority which had brought many revelations to the people of
God.
He is committed in bringing the
Good News with the goal of changing the world “ONE
PERSON AT A TIME”.
As he was totally committed to his God given VISION even while
working in the secular world, he never compromised in the work of God.
In Nov 2002, according to ACTS
1:8 “But
you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you
shall be witnesses to Me in
Jerusalem
, and in all Judea and
Samaria
, and to the ends of the earth.” the birth of ACTS Foundation Ministry took place. By God’s amazing Grace and
Guidance of the Holy Spirit, today 19 various ministries have grown
under ACTS Foundation Ministry. Today by God’s amazing grace Rev.
Vinay has become a great channel of blessings to the thousands of people
across the nations. God has transformed Rev. Vinay in to a Young
Dynamic Preacher, who preaches the Word of God with great Passion.
Rev. Vinay received a vision from
God in Nov’ 2005 to build a SOUND
PROOF CHURCH. As per God’s instruction he started the church
construction with merely Rs 40,000/- in hand. The total budget for
building of a sound proof church was estimated Rs. 30 Lacs. God spoke to
him that the Church building will get completed in 5 months. It was a
testing time of faith in God’s provision. With one of his favorite
phrases,” WHEN GOD WILL GIVE YOU A VISION, HE WILL ALSO MAKE A PROVISION,”
the construction of the church was completed in 5 months with best sound
proof technology with the seating capacity of 250 without any outside
funds and donations. – We thank Lord for his amazing work!
The church was named as “Potter’s
House
Church
”
