How it all began :

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. On 21st day of my birth my parents called a Hindu priest and Named me as a Venkteswarlu, which is a  Hindu god's Name. To conform the name, my mother she burned my forehead with a heat and red needle.  We used  to worship 120 idols every Friday,  by fasting with white wet cloths. Jesus appeared to me in the vision at the age of 8 while I was suffering with Blood cancer at the point of death.   

Brother Jacob's  beginning Ministry in the year 1991.

And showed my Name as 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 so they exited. 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 sinners and I confessed my since and received Jesus into my heart, as well my parents and my uncle’s family.

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.

Then I came to  the unreached Tribal area with a great passion, hunger and thirst for lost souls, as a first missionary in the year of 1991. I walked hundreds of miles as village after village by sharing Gospel, 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 3people under a tree. Then pastor Steven Reddy's daughter Elizabeth became my life partner in Christian marriage  on 18-06-1992,

Pastor Jacob's Family

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. By the year 1994 we have got a group of people who received my vision and willing to stand with me.  We group of people fasted and prayed and as a result of that Gospel for Tribals Social Service Society was born on 26th December 1994.  Since then this humble mission is began to grow to reach thousands of people with different projects, by holding bread in  one hand and Gospel in other hand.

                My heart beat and passion is not simply preaching but, touching people for Christ and to make known the Name of Jesus to unknown.
