Bethel International Church

Lead Pastor

Rev. Gideon Abishek

Rev. Gideon Abishek is the Lead Pastor and Founder of Bethel International Church and Sons & Daughters Ministries. He is married to Jennifer Elizabeth and they have a two year old son called Benjamin who loves to play outdoors. He comes with a rich Spirit-filled background as the son of Rev. Allen John and Sis. Saltina Allen who are pastors in the New Life Assembly of God church, Chennai. After a brief career in IT as a software engineer, he heeded the LORD's call to ministry in 2016 and completed MA in Christian studies from SABC, Bangalore. Later, He pursued his higher studies in Theology (Th.M) at Regent College, Vancouver, Canada. Although he was Spirit-filled from his teen years, Pastor Gideon had a life changing encounter with the Holy Spirit on April 22, 2022 where he experienced a manifest tangible physical presence of the Holy Spirit during his personal prayer time on the terrace of his parent's house in India. Since that day of supernatural encounter, God has given him the grace and revelation to experience this physical presence and flow of the Holy Spirit on him 24/7 365 days. God placed a passion in the pastor's heart to revive the global church and gave him the ministry to impart this anointing and help believers to also experience the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit.

This impartation from the Holy Spirit released a new dimension to his ministry and gave him a vision to empower the global church. His vision is to preach the pure Gospel, reach the unreached, restore the identity of the church as Sons & Daughters of the living God, establish them in their faith and revive the church to seek an encounter with the Holy Spirit and help them experience His tangible presence and goodness.
