Senior Pastor Jonathan Eden

I welcome you all to worship God, in the Tamil meetings in East London. Specially if you have children. If you want them to grow up to be healthy, happy, hard-working, and holy, bring them to Sunday School at any of our services. It is most important to keep them close to God in early adolescence, and we can help young people and their parents at this time of their lives.

Here’s an interview with someone whose first contact with Christ was our Sunday school:

Hello, Sister Pandiletchumi !

Hello, Brother Jonathan

How old were you when you left India?

I was fifteen.

In India, did you go to Sunday school?

No, I was going to temples.

Your father told you to come to Sunday school. What did you think of it?

At that time, I didn’t know anything about Christianity. I was just beginning to learn English. Sunday school was totally different, but Mary, another girl there, was explaining to me in Tamil.

For eight years I struggled: should I choose Jesus, or Murugan? Slowly, as I heard the message, one thing touched me; even people who didn’t know me, would pray for me.

What does Jesus mean to you now?

He is more than anything. “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”  In Hinduism, we go to the temple, we pray, we leave, we feel empty. But I feel that Jesus is with me.

Now you are married, and you have a son of fourteen and a daughter of thirteen. Do they go to Sunday school?

Yes, they have been coming since they were born.

And you yourself are one of the teachers!
