Jon-Missionary to India
Jon is a seminary-trained pastor in his early 50’s who has faithfully served in ministry for more than 30 years. He pastors a church in India and is actively involved in evangelism, discipleship, and church ministry. Through street evangelism, biblical teaching, and personal discipleship, bobby seeks to proclaim the Gospel and equip believers to follow Christ faithfully.
According to scripture, Rev. Jon believes that a church focused on missions is the most effective way to reach the people of India. Establishing new churches is essential to advancing God’s kingdom in India. Thus, local churches should design their own discipleship programs. His church is a church with regular training sessions and mission-related activities, not just a congregation.
There are some 458,000 villages in India with no known Christian presence. Also, there are more than 2100 people groups, of which the majority have not heard Gospel. Therefore, we summarize the vision as below:
- BE A CHURCH WHICH OBEYS AND PRIORITIZES THE GREAT COMMISSION.
- EQUIP THE CHURCH TO REACH THE UNREACHED WITH LOVE OF CHRIST.
- SHOWING AND LIVING CHRIST LIKE CHARACTER
- BUILD A HEALTHY COMMUNITY BY PRESENTING HELPFUL PROGRAMS.
- HELP THE CHURCH TO DEVELOP THE HEART FO CHURCH PLANTING
- DEVELOP NEW CHURCHES IN DIFFERENT UNREACHED AREAS OF INDIA.
- GUIDING THE CHURCH PEOPLE TO GO FOR THE SHORT TERM MISSIONS
- MISSION TRIPS TO NORTHERN INDIA TO HELP PASTORS AND NEW CHURCH PLANTS
- QUALITY EVANGELISM PROGRAMS THROUGH YOUTUBE
- MINISTER TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH GOSPEL
- LITERATURE DISTRIBUTION, DOOR TO DOOR EVANGELISM,
- PUBLIC PREACHING, AND PUBLIC VIDEO PRESENTATIONS
- SHOWING THE LOVE OF CHRIST THROUGH CHARITY

We are filled with immense gratitude as we witness the hand of God moving powerfully through the ministries of our mission. From the southern coastlines to the northern heartlands, lives are being transformed daily through the preaching of the Gospel. Thank you for your steadfast prayers and financial support, which make this vital work possible. Our ministry operations continue to flourish across the nation, reaching diverse communities with the love of Christ.
We operate strictly as a mission-focused church. We believe in equipping the saints; therefore, each church member receives intentional training within the local body, turning our outreach ministries into dynamic, on-the-job training grounds.
We are actively engaging our local communities through two primary strategic avenues:
* Public Outreach (Street Meetings): Over the last two months, we conducted two major Gospel Street meetings. Through these open-air gatherings, hundreds heard the good news and received gospel literature.
* Door-to-Door Ministry: This personal, home-based approach remains highly effective. While the current political landscape in India introduces new challenges and limits direct home entry, our teams successfully adapt by focusing on literature distribution and initiating strategic follow-up conversations with interested seekers.
Our YouTube platform targets those who have yet to hear the Gospel, while offering essential guidance to new believers taking their first steps in the Christian life.
* 945 Daily morning devotionals completed by God’s grace.
* 1,832 Active subscribers growing together on YouTube.
* Hundreds of daily viewers reached via secondary social media platforms.
The ultimate measure of this digital ministry is the spiritual fruit it bears. Within the last 60 days, two precious individuals made public decisions to dedicate their lives to Jesus Christ through our YouTube program! It is inspiring to see our online community respond so positively to the Word of God each day.
A VBS was conducted last month. More than 25 children participated and dedicated their lives to the Lord.
Prayer Request: Private Baptism Pool Project
In light of current political and religious sensitivities in the region, conducting baptisms in public rivers has become increasingly dangerous for our pastors and new believers.To ensure safety and security, we are praying for the resources to construct a private baptism pool within the church compound.
* Projected Cost: $600 USD
* The Goal: To provide a safe, secure environment for believers to publicly declare their faith.
Please join us in prayer for this urgent financial need so we can secure this vital infrastructure for our growing congregation.
Thank you once again for co-laboring with us in building our Lord’s Kingdom. Your prayers and generosity are yielding eternal fruit.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Jon
