I am a believer from India.

I am believer from India, fellowships with the Brethren Assembly. I have my family, wife and a daughter lives in the Business capital city of our Country.  

Basically from southern state called Kerala, where Christianity has the history goes back to AD 52. It is believed that the disciple St. Thomas came to India, Tamil Nadu & Kerala and in Kerala established some churches. Christians from that traditional background known as Syrian Christians of Kerala and I too belongs to that community and Syrian Christian Churches known as: Orthodox, Jacobite, Marthoma etc are the dominant churches from that traditional background other than the Catholic denominations. 

As the reformations spread to the world through His servants, it was reached to Kerala too centuries back and now there are almost all protestant denominations we can find here. As a result of the reformations, many are motivated by the Spirit of God for the vineyard works, for some it can be business or a matter of living, for some it is truly out real convictions, anyhow from our State many have gone to other part of India and lives for the Lord facing many persecutions and it is day by day increasing, this is recorded here on 18-6-2019.  

I am a humble believer, a humble continuous simple learner or student of the Word of God, and occasionally shares the sermons whenever the local Assembly requires since about 10 years. So far leads a normal life, lives & works for the means for the day to day living. But I feel, my vision to live for the glory of God is yet to be reached, or it is at a distant destination, not satisfied, so the heart grieves within me always, but helplessly watch & pray !!! 

It is my sincere desire that believers must speak only the truth, teach the pure word of God while sharing the Gospel, do not pretend and misguide others for their personal gains !!!

Let me say, I have nothing to boast, or let me not to do so, other than on the Cross of my Lord & the salvation. God bless us. (Written on 18th June 2019).
