Our Journey
Our Story
LINC Shalom Church was not founded through human ambition or personal plans. It was born out of a divine calling from the Lord Jesus Christ.
A Humble Beginning
Pastor Vishwas Masih was raised in a small village in Punjab, India. In 2015, while working at CMC Hospital in Ludhiana, his pastor, Salim Khan, kept telling him, “Brother, you have a calling to serve the Lord.”
At the time, Vishwas believed serving God meant supporting the church financially, he did not take the words seriously.
Journey to Canada
Even after immigrating to Canada in August 2015, Pastor Vishwas kept hearing the same message from his pastor, but he did not yet fully understand God’s plan.
A Faithful Response
When he heard the words yet again, Vishwas respectfully replied, “If the Lord wants me to serve Him, He must speak to me directly.”
His pastor simply prayed: “Lord, I have conveyed what You told me. Now You speak to Brother Vishwas Yourself.”
A Divine Encounter
Two months later, the Lord answered that prayer. After a night shift, as Vishwas lay resting at home, he saw Jesus standing beside his bed and heard Him say:
“Why are you not serving Me? I have spoken to you many times.”
“Do you think no one will listen to you? Even My disciples did not believe Me at first. Yet I completed the work My Father gave Me. Now go and share My Good News.”
He woke up filled with indescribable joy.
God’s Word Speaks
Wanting confirmation, Vishwas opened his Bible and prayed, “Lord, if this was truly You, confirm it through Your Word.”
“Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!”
1 Corinthians 9:16He knew God had spoken.
God Opens the Door
The very next Sunday, he and his wife both felt led, at the same moment, to attend a church they had not visited in a long time. There, Vishwas prayed silently, “Lord, if You want me to preach here, let the pastor invite me. I will not ask.”
After the service, the pastor walked straight over, shook his hand, and said: “Brother, will you preach next Sunday?”
That was all the confirmation he needed.
LINC Shalom Church Is Born
From that divine calling, Life In Christ Shalom Church was born, a church built not on human ambition, but on the faithfulness of God.

Leadership
Our Pastor
Pastor Vishwas leads our Sunday worship, Bible studies, prayer gatherings, and pastoral care, and by God’s grace he also serves as a chaplain at Toronto Pearson Airport and ministers in correctional facilities.
His heart is simple: to help every person he meets encounter the living Christ. Whether he is preaching on a Sunday morning, praying with a traveller at the airport, or sharing hope behind prison walls, his message never changes, Jesus saves, Jesus heals, and Jesus is coming again.
We would love to meet you.
Join us on a Sunday at 1:30 PM, come as you are.
To God be all the glory.
