I’m Sridhar, but most call me as Sri. My journey with Christ began at 17, back in 1996, when I encountered His transformative grace. Just two years later, in 1998, I stepped into Bible School, eager to learn more about God, and that was when the mission truly began.  

For the past 25 years, I’ve devoted my life to ministry—teaching in Bible schools, working alongside senior pastors, evangelizing, and shepherding congregations. When life seemed steady, God stirred my heart once again, leading me down a new path of church planting. To equip myself for this next chapter, I pursued an M.Div. from Liberty School of Divinity.  

In 2017, I returned to my hometown of Vijayawada, India. Along with my wife Ramya, we spent nearly five years preparing for the pioneering work that lay ahead. By God’s grace, we finally acquired land and on December 25, 2022, we opened the doors to Maranatha Faith Temple in Mangalagiri, part of Amaravathi’s New Capital Region in Andhra Pradesh. 

What started as just my wife and me ministering to Telugu-speaking locals has now blossomed into a gathering of about 30 people. We feel strongly that this is only the beginning. With the Lord’s guidance, we are gearing up to reach even more through Gospel meetings, social outreach, and community service. 

If you share our heart for the Great Commission, we invite you to join us in this journey. Together, we can accomplish much for His Kingdom. Your prayers are deeply appreciated.
