My Testimony.
I, Stephen Gnanaraja accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal saviour in
May 1999 through a TV message on God’s love and His forgiveness. The lord called
me to Christian work ever since and from the day i started to serve till date i have been
sharing the Gospel to many.
My passion and call is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world. God
has been faithful and i have had many open doors to pursue my call and bring souls
into God’s Kingdom.
I have been serving mainly as an Evangelist but also as a Leadership speaker
involved in training many church leaders in the faith and strengthening them for a
greater service in God’s Kingdom.
God’s call has been to prepare people in His Kingdom and invite people to turn
back to God and walk in His truthful ways.
Though there have been setbacks, losses, many challenges, i have continued to
follow God’s call for my life. I am committed to serving God where ever He places
me and i will persist till the end for what i am called to do by the Lord.
I have also served as an Associate pastor of a church, a praise and Worship
leader and also in the preaching and teaching of God’s word to people across India
and the world.
The Lord has been my guide and strength through many trials and tests in my
Christian life.
At the moment i am heading Seed Ministries International, a Christian ministry
organization which is mainly involved in Bible Distribution to rural India and also
Discipleship and leadership training programs for Rural churches across India.
I lost my wife Annie Gladis to cancer on August 20 th , 2017 and now i am
praying for the Lord’s will to be done in my family life.
I will always live for God’s Glory and Kingdom till the day the Lord has
appointed for me on earth. May the name of the Lord be praised. Amen & Amen.
