Rev. Russel John D was born on Jan 10, 1955 to a traditional Christian family. He went to Mumbai at the age of 20 in search of a job. As he was doing his job he got a chance to know Jesus in a special way and he accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Saviour. Then he took baptism and God anointed him with His Holy Spirit. At the age of 25, he received the call of God to do His ministry. In the beginning he denied the call, but at the age of 29 he resigned his job and came back to his own home town. By the grace of God in the year 1984 he began to share the gospel near his village Choozhal (located in Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu). Many accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour. The Sunday service was started on March 31, 1985.
He was married to Vasantha T and she is assisting him in the ministry and God has blessed me with two Sons (Salu John R, Blessing John R) and one daughter (Mercel Fenila John). His second Son Blessing John R was promoted to glory on July 1, 2003. He is involved in the ministry for the last 37 years
