About Me:

My Life Verse 1 Cor 15 (3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; (4) And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (KJV) Dear Friends, Thank you for visiting our web site. God is truly working miracles in India. I would like to invite you to CALVERY TELUGU BAPTIST CHURCH. We are a body of believers striving to minister to our community, families and friends here in India. Pastor.S.Prakash Raj, Founder/ Director 1 Cor 1:9 "God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord." My Testimony and Salvation Experience I was born in Chennai (Madras), Tamil Nadu India. Now I’m enjoying the real happiness of the life through prayer, devotion, gospel work with practical way and service to the humanity through Preaching and Teaching gospel of Jesus Christ. On April 1994, I got a tremendous change in my life through the grace of Our Savior Jesus Christ. He filled me with His Holy Spirit and baptized me with His unusual anointing of God’s love and compassion. This has enabled me to left all my life’s darkness and to be in the Light and Him. We were worshipping many gods and goddesses and would often offer sacrifices to them. But we lacked peace and happiness in our lives .We (Hindus) separated Friday for fasting and prayer. It was all in vain because our prayers were offered to dumb idols. One day as happened to listening to an Easter Sunday service message, at Telugu Baptist Church, it really touched my heart. This motivated me to listen to the word of God regularly, and I experienced unique peace and happiness for the first time in my life. During this time a pastor who was my neighbor invited me to his church, and I started attending the worship service. I was attracted by the music and the word preached there. Eventually for the first time in my life, I heard a clear presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I understood who Jesus was and what He had done for me.So, on April 1994, Jesus Christ saved me. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior in the Easter Sunday 1994. As I could not keep His peace and happiness to myself, I decided to serve the Lord and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to people who were living without Christ. I continued to pray for this matter and one day He made me understand His call for me. Thus I completely surrendered my life to serve Him, God called us to the mission field of India. God continues to confirm our call and change lives through the power of His Gospel. Proclaiming Jesus Christ, As Crucified Savior ; Following Him As Risen Lord , And Glorifying Him ; As Ascended King.

Isaiah:9:2 Church Development We believe that the establishment of local churches among unreached people groups is the best long term method of evangelizing and making disciples in these communities. CFA Mission is committed to establishing one Hundred local churches by the year 2017, and helping other organizations with similar objectives. Leadership Development The establishment of local churches creates the need for training and development of local pastors and lay leaders. Through its many training programs, CFA Mission is actively serving the church at large in developing emerging leaders to minister in their communities and evangelize unreached people groups around them. Community Development Often the poverty and remoteness of these communities requires an extension of the church planting ministries.
