I greet you in the precious name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ and would like to share my testimony. Though U was born brought up in a Christian family life, during the early childhood I was often irregular and attended the church forcibly. As the days went by in the 10th standard, I had an opportunity to attend the gospel meetings arranged by the local assembly where I realized the need for salvation to my life and accepted the Lord as my personal savior. From that day, I regularly attended the church, gospel meetings bible classes and listened to the word of God carefully.
The desire in my heart to learn the word of God systematically led me to join SBC at Chennai with the help of the assembly. Having had completed the course, I returned to Andhra Pradesh and soon joined the ministry with the evangelist Owk Samuel, helping him run the gospel meetings and bible classes in 3 different assemblies [Ponnapuram Colony, Ayyalurmetta and Gangavaram] and surrounding areas, for ten years .The elders of the local assembly realized the call of God in my life for the ministry and prayed rigorously to know the will of God, waiting for him to lead us in his own way. while I was also waiting for His plan about the ministry, He spoke to me through HIS word Isaiah 6:8.Instilled by the courage and hope given by the word of God regarding my ministry, I commended my life as full time servant for the Ayyalurumetta Assembly in the presence of Assembly and the Evangelists on 19th February,2012. By the grace of God, personally, He has chosen a partner for me, Elizabeth and has blessed me with two daughters Tryphena[U.K.G]and Tryphosa[Nursery] and we currently reside at a rented house costing 2500 per month.
By the grace of God, the ministry is prosperous and at present nearly 35-40 believers are gathering for worship. Pray for the ministry to be fruitful in the days to come as well as the new souls to be added to the Assembly .Kindly request you to enclose my name in the prayer list of K.E.M.F and remember me in your valuable prayers.
Your brother in the Lord,
Owk Joseph Johnson
