In the year 1984, the Lord appeared in a vision to Dr.D.G.S. Dhinakaran and Commissioned him to rise the Bethesda Prayer Centre. He also thus explained the reason for it:
"My son! When I lived in this world, of all that I did, the one that is close to my heart was to touch the sick with My hand and heal them! When you go to a town to conduct 'Jesus Calls Good News Meetings' nearly half-a-million people throng the ground. I come there, lay My hand and heal the sick. But after that, you don't go to that place again. Some times you go there only after 5 or 6 years. Till then where will those people experience My healing power? So, to enable those who travail in body, mind and spirit receive My healing touch, raise a structure like 'Bethesda' of the days of the Bible. When people come there and pray, and when Prayer Warriors apply oil over them and pray for them, I shall touch them with My hand and heal them."
True to this promise, the Lord has been blessing countless people, who throng to the Bethesda Prayer Centre everyday. The miracles that people experience here are truly astonishing!
Bethesda Prayer Centre is set amidst the scenic splendor of the Siruvani Hills, 25 kms. away from the industrial city of Coimbatore. The landscape surrounding the Prayer Centre is beautiful with hills, waterfalls, green pastures and rivulets, providing the most peaceful atmosphere for prayer and meditation.
The Prayer Centre is open from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. with spectacular lightings.
Visit Bethesda! Experience heaven on earth!
