Welcome to our India Site! On this page we will tell you a little about ourselves and the Ministry work that is going on here in India. A very small percentage of our current population is saved and I think this is true worldwide. Evangelism in our country is carried out in many ways like in your country, but with some different approaches. For one thing, we use the newspaper to carry the Gospel message through ads and whole page articles. Newspapers are probably read more completely here than in countries like the U.S. where just about every home has a TV set. We have approximately one billion people and around sixty million (plus) televisions, so newspapers are our main way of getting news and keeping up with current events. Reading in India is the main source of spare time entertainment, unlike in the modern western world. In Europe and in the new world before the invention of the modern marvels, just about all the literate people were well read and many of them were well versed in the Bible (unlike today).

Evangelistic efforts in the western world are carried out mostly by TV Evangelist, and pastors are trained at Seminaries. Not quite that way here in India. Most of our Pastor's are trained at local Churches and Evangelistic efforts are carried out by motorized vehicles (smile), motorcycles, and motorbikes. Cars are the exception to the rule over here, unlike countries like the U.S. Motorcycles are the best way for pastors to travel to all the villages in our country. All the older motorcyclists remember the British classics, Triumph, BSA, Vincent, Norton and the Royal Enfield and so many more. Well the Enfield's are still made today in India and are dependable transportation for many of our Pastors.

We believe that we are in the 'Last Days' and the words of our Lord and His commands should be headed by all the believers and with a sense of urgency. We read in Matthew 28:19 (NLT) Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Our Churches train many Pastors, so they can go out to many villages and plant and reap. Our pastors dig in the spiritual soil of peoples hearts, they water the soil in he hearts and they gather the harvest that is brought forth. You might think its strange the way we put it, but read what the Lord said in John 4:34 (NLT) Then Jesus explained: "My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work. 35 Do you think the work of harvesting will not begin until the summer ends four months from now? Look around you! Vast fields are ripening all around us and are ready now for the harvest. 36 The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike! 37 You know the saying, 'One person plants and someone else harvests.' And it's true. 38 I sent you to harvest where you didn't plant; others had already done the work, and you will gather the harvest."



I am married and I would like to share my Testimony with you.

I was born December 2, 1952, into a nominal Christian family in India. I regularly attended church services and other Christian meetings, but only to please my parents. My relation with the Lord was very superficial, and thus I drifted away from faith.

As time went by, I left home for my job. Before long, I was married and settled with my family. Then, one day I met a man of God who began visiting me frequently. As the servant of the Lord shared the Gospel, my eyes were opened to see the truth. Also, the miraculous healing of my son who was born lame convinced me and my wife to acknowledge Jesus as our Savior.

Thereafter, as we began to go for church meetings diligently, we learned the need to obey the Lord’s command. Before long, my wife and I made a public testimony of our faith. Though my family went through tough trials, the Lord strengthened us, and I decided to quit the job and to serve the Lord full-time. As I sought the Lord’s guidance, the heavenly call was confirmed, and I surrendered my life for full-time ministry. Later, I enrolled myself in a Bible school where I could be trained in the Word. After the training, I worked in different places to preach the Gospel. The Lord has blessed my ministry and turned many to His fold.

My Present Ministry:

I am in India, serving the Lord as a pastor and an evangelist to win the non-Christian majority for Christ. I am involved in preaching in open-air meetings, distributing Gospel literature, holding home prayer fellowships and witnessing from house to house.

Please pray for me and for my family that we may fulfill God’s plan to expand His kingdom.
