300,000-Member Indian Church to Plant 40 More Megachurches - What's Their Secret?

HYDERABAD, India – Calvary Temple is India's largest church with more than 300,000 members. Now, it's on a mission to build 40 more megachurches in the next 10 years.

Most roads in Hyderabad on Sundays lead to Calvary Temple. Shortly after 4 a.m., side streets around the church here are already jammed.

As church volunteers coordinate traffic, shuttle buses, auto rickshaws, and motorcycles ferry thousands of people, all trying to get here two hours ahead of Calvary's first of five services that begin at 6 a.m.

By sunrise, the faithful have taken their seats.

As a Christian...I love what the pastor said. " More the church is persecuted, more it grows...I will keep on serving Jesus. God bless you all in India 🙏

As an American, my first thought was to pray that this church does not fall to the worldy sickness that megachurches in the west tend to fall into and promote. By the end of this short video, I was crying and praising God! I pray that these leaders continue in God's grace and will, to the glory of God!

With all the negative things that are going on in the world.
This is the best story I've seen in a while praise God 🙌🏼💖

I didn't know that such a church exists in India. Wow! Incredible! Let the name of God be glorified. Amen.

As an Indian I can surely say contemporary India is more Christian than the western Christian nations. Though the official Christian population is 2.5% in reality it would be around 10-12%. God's grace is on our country. Keep us in your prayers.
