Pastor Jonah

My name is Jonah (name changed), I am married, my wife and I have three children. We live in a poor village located near the large city in West India. Most people here live in small mud huts… 


I was baptized in 1992. My father was the village Preacher, and he worked diligently with much dedication but always faced opposition from people and lived in poverty. So it never attracted me to become a preacher. In fact, I was leading a worldly life… Once I got really sick and was suffering from a very high fever which was not coming down for 10 days. So when my parents were crying and doing fasting prayer, I too said to Jesus, if You will heal me from this completely and quickly then I will serve You full time. The very next day my fever broke and I was healed. 


Since that day I gave myself fully in the hands of my Lord Jesus to be used according to His will. That incident transformed my life and destiny. I went to Bible School and received one year of Bible training. In 1998 I started my ministry with the Lord for His kingdom. This journey has not been easy, there were many ups and downs, but Jesus never left me nor did I leave Him or ignore His calling.


I like to reach the unreached people groups. So as long I live, until my last breath, I will serve the Lord. I want to reach the marginalized people of society, the poor, orphans, and widows, and when they get uplifted by the love and grace of Jesus and follow Him, that is the greatest joy of my life.
