Mighty Men of God, Pastor Asir - Passed away

Pastor Asir, founder and senior pastor of the Hallelujah Assembly of God church, Pondicherry left us to be with the Lord, leaving behind thousands of his souls in shock.He was the man who introduced our Almighty Savior to countless souls in and around Pondicherry. On Monday, 20 Dec 2010, the car in which he was traveling met with an accident, he succumbed to his severe injuries. He leaves behind a mega church with over 45 branch churches. His members were all non-believers and were from a really poor background. His mission was not limited to Pondicherry, 2 weeks in a month he would visit the various northern states. Please pray for the grieving family. Sis. Daisy, children Beulah, Issac, and the members.

I along with countless souls stand as a testimony to this mighty man of God.
