Serving Christ in Orissa

Pastor T.K. Raju

Today I am introducing Pastor T. K. Raju, a Children's evangelist and pastor from Orissa. T.K Raju hold a Bachelors of Arts from a school in Orissa, and a Master of Divinity from ICCS (International College of Cultural Studies, Operation Mobilization)


Serving Christ in the North

While T.K. Raju pastors a small church, he is also working with the I.E.T (Indian Evangelical Team) in children ministry. Each week he visits an average of two churches, training Sunday school teachers with a goal of bringing children into a saving knowledge of Christ. By the grace of God he has trained teachers in all thirty districts of Orissa. This year they held 130 children camps around the region teaching about 15,000 children.

He says his vision is to someday build a home for children and drug addicts.

Brief testimony of persecution

Last year one night as he was sleeping peacefully at his home in Orissa, a mob of around 4000 (many drunk and armed with pistols) stormed into a nearby village and began to destroy Christian property and to search for believers. Raju and many from his village managed to escape into the mountains, but some did not make it and died for their faith.

In the youtube version of the interview TK Raju answers most of the ten previously asked questions. All the questions are treated in the mp3 version.

I trust everyone has benefited from this interview series. It has assisted me personally as I search for answers and pray for understanding. And not only that, but by God's grace the nature of the questions has sparked some serious thinking amongst those who are participating, including those who are behind the scenes.
