THE JOURNEY
Thank you for joining us as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Chosen for Christ Ministries (CfCM), a church founded by my mother, Pastor Amy Williams in 1970.
We are truly grateful to God for enabling us to reach this milestone in our ministry.
This ministry started out with the name ‘Hanwell Pentecostal Church’. We are now called Chosen for Christ Ministries.
The church began in a small living room, in the house of Pastor Amy Williams. However, the congregation has grown over the years, to the extent whereby we now have two locations, Hanwell, based in West London, and Downsview, based in South East London.
When Pastor Williams started out 50 years ago, she did not expect that 50 years later she would be leading two congregations, as well as impacting thousands of lives through her ministry of preaching, intercessory pray, teaching and pastoral care. As her child it felt as though she was in ministry 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (despite being 94 years of age, it feels as though nothing much has changed today).

During these 50 years, CfCM can say, without a doubt, that God has been with us, and that he has ordained this ministry for His purpose.
He has led us through every stage of our Journey as a congregation, and used us to bring many into relationship with Him here in the UK and abroad, many of whom have become Pastors and Leaders. We have had a glorious time as a church serving Him, preaching His gospel and leading individuals to Salvation.
We will be celebrating God’s goodness with two special services, which will be available for all to watch on various Social Networks. This commemorative brochure gives us, as a church, an opportunity to share and reflect with you our past, celebrate our successes, and look forward with excitement and enthusiasm to the future.
Pastor Williams is saturated with gratitude , and heartfelt thanks to all who have contributed towards the production of this wonderful brochure.
Thank you for journeying with us. I hope as you read through this brochure, you will be blessed and renewed. So come and celebrate with us as we take you on our Journey.
Remain blessed
