Dear respected beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, I would like to introduce briefly as Palleti Raja Sekhar was born in a Hindu family in a village area in E. G. District, Andhra Pradesh.

I was brought up an idol worshipper and lived for myself.  In March 1980 I was in great despair in my life and very much discouraged. I decided to end my life so I ran towards a rail-track to commit suicide. The train was coming and as I laid my head on the track waiting to die. At the moment train came an invisible hand pulled my head away from the track and away from the oncoming train. He saved my life in that very moment.  Instantly the following words echoed into my heart and mind from His voice. It was the verse from the Bible in Matthew 11:28.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest”

Jesus Christ entered me in that moment and redeemed my life. Later on He called me for full time ministry. I went to Dehara Dun Bible College for Theological studies. After three years of study I completed B.Th Degree. I was moved with compassion for the Tribal people, so I decided according God’s vision to dedicate my life to preach the Gospel of Christ among the Hindu Idol worshipers in Tribal & Jungle areas of India. Those were the days when there was no transportation into the interior or on hill areas. The outsiders were looked upon with contempt by the locals. I had the experience of being hated, wrongly treated and subjected to all kinds of oppression.

But God always comforted me saying that His Grace was sufficient for me. By God’s Grace My Hindu Idol worshiping wife came to know Jesus and accepted Him as personal savior and she has co-operated with my entire burden and ministry.  I have been blessed with three Daughters who are involved with my ministry. Even the financial crisis we have faced could not deter us from our call. In some occasions I was hated, beaten, cursed and cast away, but my association with my Jesus was as strong as ever.  He gave me grace to withstand all oppression. I endured during the early stages of my ministry promoted me to take up the torch to kindle the lives of the downtrodden.

My vision is to spread the Word of God among as many as possible and my main instruments are Crusades, Pastors Conferences Women Awareness Camps, Youth / Family Retreats and Out Reach Camps.  I mainly concentrate my ministry in about 50 centers in remote villages and Jungle areas and established worship centers for the glory of the Lord.  We have a Bible Training center and giving training to youth and equipping with the Word of God and sending into remote tribal areas.

I am requesting to you please pray for me, my family and ministry for the glory of the Lord.
