Church Verification Report
What we checked
- Not a duplicate: no similarly named church is listed with us
- The name reads as a real congregation
- Contact email reviewed (gmail.com, common for small churches)

Rueben Kharniar, fits the Khasi community of Shillong in Meghalaya, where small independent revival and pentecostal fellowships are common. The web address supplied is incomplete, as it ends without a domain, so neither our own check nor an independent search could open it or find any other page, di
We have asked this church for one piece of extra evidence: a photo, a link, its denomination, or a church that can vouch for it. The moment we can verify, this report is upgraded. Without a response, the listing is paused after 14 days.
