Our Story
The name first started as God's Vessels back in 2014 when Rev. Godwin was reading his Bible on a faithful morning. Years before then, he had received a clear message from the Lord that he would be a pastor for His glory. So the name was kept until the appointed time.
When he came to Canada in 2017, the Holy Spirit led him to start a Bible study group. This group started in 2018 in his living room in Lachine, Quebec with 5 people and later grew to about 15.
The advent of COVID-19 moved gatherings online, which gave opportunity to new members outside Canada, bringing the number to 28. On December 18, 2021, GVIM was officially incorporated as a non-profit religious organization and has been operating since, also registered as an extra-provincial nonprofit in Edmonton, Alberta.
