In the year 1979, God spoke to Rev. Mathew Oommen and gave him a vision to reach the unreached cities and villages of North India. He resigned his government job and in 1980 started his mission station in Delhi with just three people. Gradually, the ministry began to expand under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Even as the team started expanding, due to limited resources, those days were marked by personal sacrifices by the entire team. However, their passion and vision given by God,  to see North India saved helped them to overcome the difficulties and obstacles that came their way.


Standing tall against trials and persecutions, this mighty man of God has dedicated his life to the Lord at a very young age. Over a period of time, the work spread to many states in India. Upon guidance from the Lord, he later established The Full Gospel Church Of God.  The mission to reach people throughout the nations, and proclaim the endless love of Christ, and invite people to relish in His grace and mercy which He showers upon us. Impacting people in the light of eternity. Rev. Mathew Oommen has been serving the lord for the past 30 years taking the Lord’s name to the world .He has been in service in India and USA as a missionary, evangelist, pastor, teacher and a church leader. He has also traveled widely around the world to ‘evangelize’, ‘mentor’ and ‘preach’.
​
Having been always under His Devine Calling, Pastor later travelled to New Jersey where he served as a Pastor-in-charge in Teaneck IPC church for a couple of years before travelling to Houston, where he founded the Emmanuel Pentecostal church to reach to mainly the south Indian community. The church has grown many times in proportions since its inception.
