Rural Ministry – Telengana:

Ministry in Telengana area began in 2005 in Siri Konda and Annadigudem. In Siri Konda the Shophar Ministries purchased a small piece of land and constructed a Church. Nearly 20 people are attending the Siri Konda Church which has a active youth and children ministry. In Annadigudem we have purchased a land but a Church needs to be built. Please pray for the construction.


Pray for Siri Konda and Annadigudem . Alcoholism and prostitution are the devil’s strong holds. We pray that people would be delivered from these powers and know the real God in their lives..

Tribal Churches in Kothpalem and Gingerthi:

Solomon and his wife had been praying for a church in their remote tribal village of Kothapalem in Vishak a District since a long time. On the invitation of a Christian brother we were visiting Kothapalem in 2005 when we met Solomon and his wife. The Lord immediately knit our hearts together. Through Solomon we met Deborah a widow who is living in the same village with her son. Deborah opened her home for a Cell Group. After an year, the same Cell Group had been converted into a Sunday Worship Service where nearly 15 people attend now every Sundday.


By the grace of God we bought a small piece of land where we intend to build a Church this year. Please pray for the work and that Shophar Ministries would be the Lord’s instrument in bringing the Lord’s kingdom in the hearts of these tribal people.

We could also conduct a mini-crusades in Kothapalem and in Gingerthi another tribal village. A Cell Group that was running here since one year had turned into a Sunday Worship Service. Nearly 10-15 believers attend the Church. This place needs a Church too and we are praying for the same.

North India - Bihar:

As the Lord burdened us for Bihar one of the poorly evangelised states in India, we began to pray and look to the Lord for His guidance. As the Lord led us, we made a survey trip three years ago in 2005 to Gaya and began to conduct pray walks and visiting the places. We got connected to a few persons and were able to slowly start a Cell Group. In the following years, we could conduct two mini Crusades. The response was great. It was heartbreaking to see so many thirsty for the Living waters.


Last year we conducted a 3 Day Crusade in Kujapi another village in Bihar and the harvest was even greater. On account of this crusade, a Cell Group was started. On 23rd November, 2008, Shophar Ministries crossed the long desired and loan awaited milestone when a Sunday Worship had begun in Kujapi. The Church in Kujapi caters to nearly 10 villages. Slowly the Cell Groups also have increased to 3 in number. Baptisms so far in this area are 35.

Rejoice with us- this is the harvest of the Lord in the past three years.

Care for Orphans :

Shophar Ministries has taken to foster 5 orphan kids who are housed in believer’s residence in the tribal area and are taken care of in all their well-being. John Vivek is a boy who was born to an unwedded mother and both the father and the mother have disowned him. Kumar is another orphan whose parents died. His older brother earns on a daily labour and was supporting him. Each child is a story to talk about. Today these kids go to a school regularly and are promised a bed to sleep and a home to live and a family to own them. Three square meals were a dream in their lives. All these things food, bed school and a family were missing in their lives earlier.


The Foster Home also gives private education to more than 50 school students along with these orphan kids every day after the school hours. A paid teacher tutors all these students for a few hours after the school every day. The idea is to build and shape the kids right from their childhood. Pray for the spiritual nourishment of these children.

Medical Care :

Shophar Ministries has started a Medical Center to cater to the village that has no medical help. Patients have to travel or carry patients to long distances for treatment. Shophar Medical Center now to caters to some of the emergencies cases and regularly treats patients.. Nearly 6-8 villages are being catered to. A fulltime doctor and nurse are appointed to look after the Medical Ministry. Pray that those treated would find true healing of their souls in Jesus Christ

 And He said unto them, Go ye all the world., and preach the gospel to every creature Mark 16:15
