About Rev. G. R. Purushotham
Rev. G.R. Purushotham was born in 1935 in Jedecherla, Mahaboob Nagar Dist., A.P., India and raised in a Mennonite Christian family until he was 14 years of age. In the year 1949, i.e. on Christmas day he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord and was saved in his own Mennonite Church when he heard a powerful gospel message by a preacher named Philip Abraham, a Pentecostal Pastor.
One year later God filled him with the Holy Spirit and called him for His ministry in 1952. As an young man Mr. Purushotham was so zealous for the Lord and started preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the surrounding villages and towns going by foot to various places. God used him so mightily among Hindus and Muslims and enabled him to win many souls for the Lord. Several young men and women dedicated their lives for the Lord’s work and joined him in the Ministry. They worked together as a team and established several Churches at various locations throughout Andhra Pradesh State. Now there are over 50 Evangelists and Pastors working along side of Pastor Purushotham, conducting Gospel Crusades, Revival Conventions, Bible Seminars throughout A.P. State. Praise the Lord!
God called him (as he called Samuel of O.T), when he was a teen-ager and used him mightily for the past 56 years. Now he is 73 years old and still going strong for the Lord, traveling to many places throughout A.P. State and even to other states of India and preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ. Paul writes in I Thessalonians 5:24, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”
Please pray for Rev. G.R. Purushotham, that God continues to use him in His glorious Ministry, to win many more perishing souls and to expand His Kingdom. Thank you & God bless you.
