Bishop Octavio Nevis
Started In 1984
One of his childhood friend shared the life transforming gospel and the power of Jesus Christ. It was late at night on a bus stop when this 19-year-old young boy Octavio accepted Jesus Christ as his personal saviour. And that very moment, Lord Jesus filled and anointed him with His Holy Spirit and he started speaking in tongues. Then after, he threw the button knife and the nunchuks and held the Holy Bible in his hand.
He immersed himself in prayer and reading the word of God for more than 16 hours daily. With the very hands that he used to beat up people He now laid on their heads and prayed for them and God did mighty wonders through him. As its written in Mat 10:8, God used him to heal the sick, and the lame walked, the blind saw, the deaf heard, the dumb spoke, evil possessed were set free and millions of lives were transformed in the name of Jesus.
ministry of Bishop Octavio Nevis
Thus started the ministry of Bishop Octavio Nevis (Former Apostle), bringing healing and deliverance to people’s lives, changing lives, transforming them by making them disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ, setting the captives free and fearlessly proclaiming the good news of the full gospel even to the point of death.
On 11 May 1998, Bishop Octavio Nevis was persecuted by the anti-Christ group with the sole motive of killing this servant of God during a healing crusade in Ambernath (Suburbs of Mumbai). He was almost beaten to death with iron rods and tube lights, they even tried to blind him, but the word of our God is so true that says if God be for us, then who can be against us. Though he faced the valley of the shadow of death, God’s hand of protection saved him.
His attackers and plotters were dealt severely and experienced the blow from God. Many are dead by now but the man of God in spite of being persecuted still stands strong, preaching and saving millions of souls all over the world.
This man of God continues to heal and touch millions of lives by preaching Gods word and bringing glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. He is a man with vision and received his Doctorate Degree from Tennessee, USA.
He was Ordained as BISHOP on 1 May, 2017 by United Covenant Churches of Christ, New York and continues to serve the living God with the same passion.
In His personal life, He’s a responsible husband to a strong woman of God Pastor Priscilla Nevis. They’ve been amazing parents to Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and Uel.
