The New Jerusalem Ministries was established in 2013 in the beautiful state of Goa, India, in response to the clear and prophetic call of God upon Pastor Diogo Fernandes' life. What began as a step of obedience to God's voice has, by His grace, grown into a ministry that is reaching people across cities, states, and nations with the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ. The ministry did not begin with abundance or worldly resources. In the early days, financial provision was a great challenge. Yet Pastor Diogo remained committed to serving the Lord with whatever God had entrusted to him. Through unwavering faith, prayer, and obedience, God faithfully supplied every need. Time after time, the ministry witnessed His supernatural provision, confirming that when God gives a vision, He also provides the resources to accomplish it.The ministry began humbly, with gatherings of just a handful of people. As the Gospel was faithfully preached and the power of the Holy Spirit was demonstrated through healing, deliverance, and transformed lives, God began to open new doors. What started with meetings of five people gradually expanded from city to city, from state to state, and eventually beyond the borders of India."Unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it." — Psalm 127:1
The journey of The New Jerusalem Ministries has been one of faith, perseverance, and the unfailing faithfulness of God. Like every work established for God's Kingdom, the ministry has faced challenges, opposition, and seasons of testing. Yet through every obstacle, the Lord has remained faithful, opening doors that no one could shut.Over the years, God has allowed the ministry to conduct church services, revival meetings, healing and miracle crusades, conferences, and outreach programmes across Goa, throughout India, and internationally. Thousands of people have heard the Gospel, and countless lives have experienced the saving grace and transforming power of Jesus Christ.By God's grace, the ministry has witnessed remarkable testimonies of His power. People have testified of healing from serious illnesses, restoration of broken families, freedom from addictions, deliverance from bondage, and lives completely transformed through an encounter with Jesus Christ. These testimonies continue to glorify God and strengthen the faith of believers.Every milestone in the ministry's journey stands as a testimony that God is faithful to fulfil His promises. The New Jerusalem Ministries remains committed to proclaiming the Gospel with boldness and demonstrating the love and power of Jesus Christ wherever He leads."Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." — Hebrews 13:8
The vision of The New Jerusalem Ministries is to see every person experience the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and to prepare hearts for His Kingdom. God has placed a burden upon this ministry to proclaim the Gospel with compassion, bringing hope to the lost, healing to the broken, and deliverance to those held captive.The ministry carries a strong calling to minister under the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit, believing that salvation, healing, miracles, signs, and wonders continue today just as they did in the early Church. Our desire is to see lives transformed by the power of God and for every believer to grow into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ."For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." — Luke 19:10
Our mission is simple yet profound—to reach every soul with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, ensuring that no one is left without the opportunity to know Him. We are committed to preaching the Word of God, making disciples, and preparing people for eternity.We believe that every individual is precious in God's sight. Through the preaching of the Gospel, discipleship, prayer, healing, and practical acts of love, we seek to lead people into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and encourage them to live Spirit-filled lives that honour Him.Our mission continues until every possible person has heard the Good News and been given the opportunity to receive the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ."Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." — Matthew 28:19–20
The New Jerusalem Ministries is a Bible-believing, Spirit-led, Pentecostal ministry founded upon the unchanging truth of God's Word.We believe in one true God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and that every person is called to experience a personal relationship with Him.We believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and that the gifts of the Holy Spirit remain active today. We believe in divine healing, miracles, signs, and wonders, because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.While we are Pentecostal in our doctrine, our heart is to reach people from every background and denomination with the love of Christ, uniting all who believe in Him through the truth of His Word.
The love of Christ extends beyond the walls of the church. The New Jerusalem Ministries actively serves the community by reaching out to orphanages, old-age homes, and families in need. Along with providing practical assistance wherever possible, the ministry shares the love of Jesus through worship, prayer, fellowship, and personal encouragement.The ministry has also supported the construction of homes for families in need and has partnered in building and supporting churches across Goa, throughout India, and particularly in remote villages where the Gospel is still reaching new communities.Healing and Miracle Crusades held in Goa and across India continue to provide opportunities for thousands of people to hear the Gospel, experience God's presence, and encounter His transforming power.
By the grace of God, The New Jerusalem Ministries has witnessed countless lives transformed through the power of the Gospel. The greatest miracle we celebrate is salvation—seeing men, women, young people, and children surrender their lives to Jesus Christ and begin walking in His purpose.Many who once lived in addiction, brokenness, or hopelessness have experienced complete transformation and now faithfully serve the Lord, with many becoming active members and leaders within the ministry itself.Throughout the years, God has also performed many miraculous works. Testimonies include the blind receiving sight, the deaf hearing, cancer reports changing, tumours and lumps disappearing, barren couples receiving the gift of children, broken bones healing, fractured families being restored, and many people finding freedom from addictions and destructive lifestyles.Every testimony points to one truth—that Jesus Christ is still alive, still saving, still healing, and still transforming lives today."Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." — Ephesians 3:20
