About Our Ministry

Evangelist Ravindranath R

“By the grace of God, I am what I am.” — 1 Corinthians 15:10

My name is Ravindranath R. I am 44 years old, married to an anointed woman of God, Ripzy, a powerful prayer warrior and a prophetess. We are blessed with three children: Christineer Olivia, Christinem Juan, and Christine Deborah.

I was born into a traditional Namboodiri (Brahmin) family — father, mother, and five siblings including me — with no knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet, in His infinite mercy and sovereign grace, God pursued me long before I ever sought Him.

For many years, I suffered from severe sinusitis. The pain was unbearable — during attacks, I would collapse in agony. I consulted numerous doctors and followed various traditional practices, but nothing brought relief. Eventually, surgery was recommended. During one such painful season, an elderly friend of my sister visited our home. Though from a Brahmin background, she was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and a powerful prayer warrior. She prayed for me in the name of the Lord Jesus and gave me water over which she had prayed. From that very moment, I was completely healed. The pain vanished and has never returned. That miracle became the turning point of my life.

Soon after, I began to experience the gentle love of God drawing me closer. Through visions and a soft voice within my heart saying, “I love you,” the Lord began transforming my life. My first visit to a church took place on 14th July 1996. On that day, sitting near the driver on a bus, I saw everyone carrying a book and felt a deep desire for one. Suddenly a man approached me and asked, “Did you ask for this book?” Perplexed, I said yes. He gave me his Bible — a gift from his mother — saying he felt a strong urge to give it to me. I received the best gift of my life. That Bible ignited a deep hunger to know God. Within four years, by God's grace, I had read the entire Bible thirteen times.

Upon understanding the truth of God's Word, I made a bold decision to follow Christ. On 28th November 1998, without my parents' knowledge, along with my elder sister and brother-in-law, we publicly confessed our faith through water baptism, declaring Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Following Christ was not easy. I faced intense persecution — I was beaten, my Bible was thrown away and burned, and I was cast out of my home. Yet, compared to the love I found in Christ, these sufferings were nothing. Every hardship became an opportunity to experience His faithfulness more deeply. The Lord has never left me nor forsaken me.

By the abundant grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I have been serving in ministry since 2006. Today, my life stands as a testimony that Jesus Christ still saves, heals, transforms, restores, and calls ordinary people for His extraordinary purposes. Everything I am is solely by His grace.

Journey with Christ

My walk with Christ has been a continual journey of growth, surrender, and transformation. Through every season, I have learned to depend fully on Him.

The Vision

HOPE for Every Nation & People

House Of Prayer for Every Nation and People

“To make the Father's heart happy and the Kingdom to rejoice every minute of the day — this is the unction given by the Holy Spirit.”

“Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and because of Your truth.”

— Psalm 115:1

My greatest desire is not to build a personal ministry or make a name for myself, but to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ alone, equip His Church, strengthen believers, and see countless lives transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit.
