Personal Testimony & Calling of
Pastor Jedidiah raja
I am Pastor Jedidiah Raja, originally from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. I have been faithfully serving the Lord since 2009. My journey with Christ began at the age of 10, on January 16, 2001, when I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and Lord. From that moment, God ignited a deep passion within me to share His love with others. I began my ministry through humble beginnings—distributing gospel tracts, praying for the sick, and ministering to children. These early acts of ministry became the foundation of God’s calling upon my life.
At the age of 14, in 2004, I was filled with the annointing of the Holy Spirit, which empowered me to live a consecrated life dedicated to God’s service. As I continued to grow spiritually, I served faithfully under the leadership of Christ’s Church Vizag One, where I was ordained as a Pastor in 2009.
Over the years, I have served in various ministry roles, including:Ministry Experience & Mission Work:
- Sunday School Teacher
- Youth Pastor
- Associate Pastor
- Dean, RAIN School of Prophets Bible College (2012-2017)
God has graciously opened doors for me to minister across India and internationally in Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar (Burma), Zambia, and Uganda. In 2017, during a ministry visit to Livingstone and Lusaka, Zambia, God placed a deep burden for Africa in my heart after reflecting on the life of missionary David Livingstone. Through prayer, scriptural confirmation, and the affirmation of church leadership, I received a clear calling to serve in Zambia. On August 10, 2018, my wife Tulasi and I relocated to Zambia to begin full-time missionary work. We started by ministering to young people and children through cell groups and home fellowships.
By God's grace, over the past eight years of ministry in Zambia, the Lord has enabled us to:
- Plant two local churches
- Establish one Indian community church
- Launch two children and youth discipleship ministries
- Bible school to equip Men & Women of God for the establishment of God's Kingdom.
