Our Story
Life Gate Church is a non-denominational Church in Delhi relying on the goodness and generosity of God, and the generosity of our church members who give financially towards the running of the church. We have a friendly, informal style of worship in our Sunday meetings, and encourage everyone, from the very young to the not-so-young, to develop and deepen their relationship with God through bible study, prayer, life groups, worship and various acts of service to individuals and the community.
Began with a single step of faith that started a journey to see people saved, healed, set free, discipled, equipped, empowered, and serving. We are seeking the Lord’s direction for our future and watching God plans for us unfold as we desire to know more of Jesus.
We started in 2007, when our Senior Pastor Rev Wati Longkumer conceded to God’s calling, after his father was miraculously healed in the hospital bed from a life threatening sickness as a result of his prayer.Rev Wati Longkumer , completed his Masters and Bachelors in Political Science and Business Economics from the University of Delhi, and Corporate Strategy from the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore. He completed four years of Theological studies, BCS from William Carey’s The Senate of Serampore College, Kolkata and is currently working on completing his PhD in Christian studies from the Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture ,Technology and Sciences (SHUATS), Allahabad . He is ordained by the Asia Harvest Alliance. He is also certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the premier governing and coaching credentialing body in the world which sets the highest standards for professional and ethical Coaching, as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) -Life and Executive Coach.
Convicted of God calling him to serve a community of young people in Delhi, he courageously stepped out in faith without any support from anyone, and what started initially as a study group gradually developed into a Church and various ministries as the spirit led.
Since then the church has continued to grow, both in terms of numbers and spiritual growth of the members through the support of many ministerial partner, friends and network. Today the church has a group of very dynamic and passionate leadership team, professionals, elders and board who leads the church and the various ministries of the church .
The heart and desire of the LifeGate Church is to know Jesus and love like Jesus.
In May 2021 the Church witnessed a life changing and miraculous encounter when Rev Wati was infected of Covid 19 and was in a very critical condition in the ventilator and in the hospital for a total 42 days . As the church and so many well-wishers prayed for him, he was miraculously healed and brought back from death after he experienced a life changing encounter with Jesus Christ in his coma , whom he saw blew into his nostril ( including all his family members ) and healed him completely in spite of the doctors losing all hope on him . The team of medical doctors mentions his case to be “only a miracle”.
