I was born on January 1st 1950 in the small village of Thiruvanchoor in KeralaIndia. My parents, Joseph and Mariamma, have gone on to rest in the presenceof God.My wife’s parents Samuel and Annamma are also resting in the presence of God. My wife, Annamma and I have four children. Joseph, the twins Binoy and Sherly and Bincy.
We have been blessed with two grandchildren, Benson, son of Joseph and Sheba, daughter of Bincy. My son Joseph and his wife Esther are both witnesses for the Lord in Banglore, Karnattaka India.
My son Binoy and his wife Manju and my daughter Sherly are also witnesses for the Lord. They minister in a small church in the mountinous area at Elappara in the district of Idukky India. My youngest daughter Bincy is married to Pastor Robin Jacob. They too serve the Lord in full time ministry.
Our forefathers were idol worshipers who were totally ignorant about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. At the age of forty my father accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior through miraculos prayer and healing. From the teachings of my father I then accepted Christ. Since that time I have been ministering in different parts of India where I was ordained in 1997.
In order to minister effectively in different sections of India I had to learn five languages. They are Hindi, Delugu,Tamil and Malayalam. Before coming to America in July of 2006 I learned to speak English.
In October 2008 I was given the Right Hand of Fellowship and became a staff member of the Harold O. Davis Memorial Baptist Church and the Higher Ground Christian Fellowship International Located in Philadelphia Pa., under Bishop Kermit L. Newkirk Jr.,the Chief Apostle and Presiding Prelate.
