Welcome to the Word for Every Man page on the Truth Reformed Baptist Church web site.
What's On This Page:
INTRODUCTION - WORD FOR EVERY MAN (WFEM):
Word For Every Man (WFEM) is affiliated with the Truth Reformed Baptist Church in Thane, India. WFEM is an evangelical literature and translation ministry. It is based in the city of Thane (Mumbai), Maharashtra. The ministry aims to provide Truth Reformed Baptist Church with quality translations (from English\Tamil into Marathi) of Reformed books.
The ministry was started in 1999 by V.S.Gopi and the local church. The ministry has grown, gradually attracting the interest and cooperation of various believers throughout the world who share its vision and doctrinal distinctives. Today, some of the people offer their help on a voluntary basis to translate, correct and revise the publications, which are then made available through inter-church fellowship meetings and conversion meetings.
WFEM's name is taken from 1Timothy 2:4: 'All men are to be Saved and come to the Knowledge of the Truth.' So it is a name that reminds us that we are here for a limited time and that our home is in heaven.
What is our VISION and GOAL? Our vision is that WFEM might be the most influential ministry in every church of Thane and Mumbai, in order to provide sound biblical theological books in Thane & Mumbai and to be an instrument in God's hands to equip believers with the Biblical truths and foundations.
What is WFEM and why has it come to be? WFEM started in 1999 as an idea or project. Myself, my own church in Thane, with a few other men, started to pray about it. And after a while, with no funds and financial support for the ministry or for our family either, we were convicted of God's call and so we started the ministry of WFEM. We were convicted of the WILL of GOD and that He would provide for all our needs and expenses. That is why we like to call our ministry a work of faith in God. By the grace of God we were able to establish a deep fraternal relationship with the International Fellowship of Reformed Baptists.
Up until today, by the grace of our God, WFEM has translated the following titles:
- READING THE BIBLE
- And now we are working on REFORMED DOCTRINAL BELIEFS & Reformed Theology
- There are about 15 titles ready to translate into Marathi.
- Up until today, by the grace of God, WFEM has distributed about 60 books; 500 Scripture portions, Sunday school Literature and 1000 copies of the TEN COMMENDMENTS to the Churches and People in Thane & Mumbai!
Praise God for Our Partners in Mission. These include the following:
- BANNER OF TRUTH (U.K)
- REFORMATION TODAY (UK)
- BIBLICAL GOSPEL MINISTRIES (UK)
- THE AUSSIE OUTPOST (AUSTRALIA)
