One day, while working, he was shocked by an electrical fire and fell from an electrical pole. On the spot, everyone thought he had died. They carried him home, and his parents and fellow believers prayed with tears. When they prayed with faith for him, he miraculously came back to life, similar to the story of Eutychus (Acts 20:7-12).

Then, one day, he encountered God and received a higher calling through Isaiah 43:1 at the age of 19. After this, he altered the entire course of his life. Heeding the voice of God, he submitted to His call and sought God’s will. He grew spiritually and he devoted his life to studying the Word of God, praying, doing charitable works, and preaching the gospel, accomplishing visions and missions since 2001. The transformation he underwent to become a pastor, missionary, visionary, and provocative thinker is remarkable.

His father died in 2001, and God chose Paulraju to continue His work. Since then, God has been using his ministry in a mighty way. He is blessed with a wife and three sons who work hard alongside him to build the kingdom of God. Please pray for them. They always pray. Encourage them through your prayers and remember their visions and missions in all your prayers. God bless you.

During daily family prayer, my mother taught me to pray and read the Bible, and my father taught me to play drums, and they led me in faith. Despite this, I was very mischievous and disobedient to my parents and to God. I was a problem child. I have become a headache for my mother because of my antics. Some people would ask me, Are you really a pastor’s son? I had no answer to that question, and I used to hang my head down and walk away. Those moments were filled with regret; I was ashamed of the person I was becoming. I used to go to church and help my parents in the ministry, but I still lived wickedly against God and my parents.

One day, during fasting prayers, I repented by listening to God’s word. I recognized that I needed a change in my life, and my parents also told me that they had dedicated me to God’s ministry. Realizing that only Jesus Christ could change my life, I grew spiritually and began conducting Sunday school. Many people said that I would fail, but God helped me to graduate from 10th grade with first-class honors.
At the age of 16, while studying intermediate, I used to pray every morning, read the Bible, and then only I would go for study hours. One day at 4 o’clock in the morning, while meditating on the word of God, God spoke to me through Jeremiah 1:5. Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Since then, I have begun to seek a deeper understanding of God’s will in my life. There are many gods in the world. In my quest to find out who the true God is, for my hundreds of questions, I found the answers in the Bible alone, and finally, I have come to know that Jesus Christ is the true living God. By listening to the gospel and reading my Bible, I realized that I was a sinner in need of forgiveness for my sins and Jesus Christ died for my sins. With deep repentance and being fully attracted to the love of God, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and my personal Savior. I was baptized on April 17, 2018, and publicly declared my faith to the world. Then Jesus Christ gave me peace that I had never experienced before. The Lord Jesus took away my old life and gave me a new life. By the grace of God, I have completed intermediate.
As my parents dedicated me to God, I joined Bible College in 2019 to study in Kerala. After a year, I came home for summer vacation. One night, while my father and I were sleeping in a room, on March 8, 2020, at exactly Sunday 4:26 AM I suddenly heard a very loud voice, my father is screaming, “Daniel, Daniel, Daniel… I pour out my spirit upon you and anoint you. I am able to do great things in your life.” I woke up, held my father, and started crying. I did not recognize it at first, but later I realized that God had anointed me through His servant. Once again, I clearly realized God’s call and plan upon my life. After that, I altered my entire life to the call of God. Since then, the transformation has been achieved. God has changed the useless person into a useful vessel, filled me with His spirit, and begun to use me in ministry as a powerful weapon. My parents and I have faced a lot of challenges. But Jesus is not unjust; our family is the main testimony of the uplifted to the poor. I have successfully graduated in Bachelor of theology with top honors at PBS Missionary training Centre.
On May 16, 2023, I was officially ordained as a pastor and missionary. To serve this well-developed generation and run the Ministry, I need a strong foundation and preparation. So, God sent me to USA to pursue Master of Divinity from Moody Theological seminary. Please continuously pray for me as I do ministry and continue my theological journey. I believe that God never calls the qualified, but he qualifies the called. And God uses ordinary people like me to accomplish extraordinary tasks.

Unfortunately, due to financial problems, she had to stop her studies. She married Paul Raju, who was not saved at the time. However, after serious and fasting prayers, God spoke to her husband through Isaiah 43:1, and his life was completely changed through a vision. After their marriage, they did not have children for two years and were distressed about it. Finally, God heard their cry, and Leela Paul was blessed with three children: Daniel, Michael, and Thomas. They both share a strong burden to preach the Good News and to lead the lost sheep towards the Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Indeed, she is the right helper for the man of God, Paul Raju.

Over the years, Sister Leela Paul has led a powerful ministry among women, Hindus, and tribal people, encouraging and counseling them with the Word of God. Her reflective listening and empathy towards people laid a foundation for many charitable works. She cares for orphans and widows and teaches women and girls how to sew. She is also a spiritual mother to hundreds of born-again believers. Her strong personal and unique style of preaching has led many people to the Lord.

I caused them much trouble, surrounded myself with the wrong friends, and lived a careless life. Many times my mother wept because of my actions. One night my father has pain his heart and they woke me up and asked me to go to medical shop to bring medicine, but I said if you die die don’t disturb my sleep.  When I was preparing for my 10th-grade exams, I was afraid of failing. In desperation, I prayed to God, and by His grace, I passed. Believing it was God who helped me, I took baptism on February 17, 2020, desiring to move forward in faith. But even after that, I did not fully surrender to Him, I lived like a lukewarm Christian. I wasted time in video games such as PUBG and free fire, and though my father and elder brother encouraged me to serve the Lord by giving me opportunities in ministry even providing musical instruments and a camera, I was not faithful, and I was never interested.

My name is Ravikumar Geddam, and I was born and raised in a simple Christian family in a small tribal village. My parents have been faithfully serving the Lord in full-time ministry for the last 23 years, and I am their second son among three boys. Although my parents raised me to live a God-fearing life, I often rebelled against them and even against God. I caused them much trouble, surrounded myself with the wrong friends, and lived a careless life. Many times my mother wept because of my actions. One night my father has pain his heart and they woke me up and asked me to go to medical shop to bring medicine, but I said if you die die don’t disturb my sleep.  When I was preparing for my 10th-grade exams, I was afraid of failing. In desperation, I prayed to God, and by His grace, I passed. Believing it was God who helped me, I took baptism on February 17, 2020, desiring to move forward in faith. But even after that, I did not fully surrender to Him, I lived like a lukewarm Christian. I wasted time in video games such as PUBG and free fire, and though my father and elder brother encouraged me to serve the Lord by giving me opportunities in ministry even providing musical instruments and a camera, I was not faithful, and I was never interested.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, when we were restricted to our home, God began to work in my heart. Spending more time with Him and my family helped me grow spiritually and build a deeper relationship with Him. In those days, I even received visions from God calling me into His Ministry, not once, but three times. Yet I ignored His call, because I never wanted to be a pastor. My parents prayed and encouraged me to consider Bible college, but I stubbornly refused. Then, one life-changing event turned my heart completely. One Sunday, as I was taking my mother from Karamgudem to Nadigudem, a dog suddenly ran under our bike near Regula Kunta. We fell hard. By God’s grace, nothing happened to me, but my mother, who was sitting behind me struck her head on the road and began bleeding badly. She was rushed to the hospital and went into a coma. I still remember holding her in my arms, crying out, “Mom, Mom!”  but She was unconscious. In that moment of despair, I cried to God, “Lord, if You save my mother, I will serve You for the rest of my life.”

The doctors said she might not survive. But in His mercy, God miraculously healed her and gave her another chance at life. That day, I surrendered completely to God’s call. From then on, my life was never the same. I began to grow spiritually, serving alongside my parents in ministry with all my heart. Recognizing my need for a stronger foundation in God’s Word, I finally decided to join Bible college. By God’s grace, I successfully completed my bachelor’s in theology from Peniel Bible Seminary and Missionary Training Centre. Today, the Lord is using me in His ministry for His glory. Now, God has opened a new door for me to go to France for three months of mission Evangelical program. Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to walk in His calling. If God could transform a rebellious and careless person like me, He can transform anyone. No one is ever too far from His saving grace. Jesus Christ loves you, He died for you, and if you open your heart to Him, He will transform your life too.
