Brief word about Founder & President : I was born in a strong Hindu Traditional family as a First born to my parents on 10-6-1971. In the Year 1978 I was dying with Blood cancer and doctors sent out of the hospital and said I had only two day to live. On the way to home we stopped in a village where we had kith and kin. On that night there was a small open air Gospel meeting taking place near by. Because of the fear of Caste system, my mother took me to that meeting secretly. At the end of the meeting preachers prayed for me. On the same night Jesus appeared to me in the vision and showed my Name as
Brother Jacob's beginning Ministry in the year 1991. |

Jacob in the Book of life, and introduced himself as the Jesus. I received perfect healing instantly and jumped from my bed, then began to shout about Jesus and explained all the story to my parents. In the same night we walked down to pastor's house and explained all the story. When pastor preached Gospel to my parents and to me including my uncle’s family, I knew that I am sinner and I confessed my sins and received Jesus into my heart as Lord and Savior, my parents and my uncle’s family as well.
We suffered a lot, and faced persecutions from our own villagers and from kin and kith for accepting Jesus Christ and we were sent out of the village and warned, not to touch even water well. For 12 years, all our dear ones left us, but Jesus stood with us. When I grew up I felt God's calling in my life, then finished theological education.
In the Year 1991, I came to unreached Tribal area as first missionary with a great passion, hunger and thirst for lost souls. I walked hundreds of miles as village after village by sharing Gospel and faced sufferings, threatening, slept under trees, starved for Food , lived 6 months with one pair of clothe and started first church at village called Duginepalli with 3 people under a tree. Then pastor Steven Reddy's daughter Elizabeth became my life partner in Christian arranged marriage on 18-06-1992, and God blessed us with 3 children. From the day I entered into the mission field my burning heart for Master’s work never allows me even to neglect single minute.
