“Therefore said Jesus unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into His harvest.” [Luke 10:2 KJV]
Above Pastor Satyaraj and his wife Sister Grace Vennupu are holding a prayer meeting at one of their Christian brother’s homes. Our church is privileged to support these dedicated laborers whom the Lord Jesus is sending forth into His harvest.
Pastor Bossidy met Dr. Satyaraj Vennupu (Pastor Satyaraj), the pastor of Jesus Grace Faith Ministries (based in Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh), while on a mission trip to India back in 2018. Pastor Satyaraj and his family are dedicated to the cause of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They make personal sacrifices continually to minister God’s love to their communities, both in natural provisions and spiritually through the ministering of the word of God. Pastor Satyaraj had a vision in his heart from God from over 20 years ago to build an orphanage, school and hospital in a very impoverished area. The Lord even showed this man of prayer the parcel of land where these buildings would go up on. After knitting the hearts of Pastor Bossidy and Pastor Satyaraj together in 2018, our church was able to help support the worthy efforts of this man and his family in India. Since that time, we have seen Pastor Satyaraj able to obtain that certain parcel of land, and also, the orphanage Pastor Satyaraj had a vision of so many years ago has been built! Young people who were alone, lost and hopeless now have a home, family, are cared for and educated! Recently construction has begun, and is making great progress, on this same parcel of land. God is doing a great work, and our congregation is humbled and blessed to be a part of it. Please enjoy the following scenes of this amazing mission endeavor.
The below picture shows Sister Grace Vennupu with a beautiful group of children who are being ministered to with food and with the love of God.
Pastor Satyaraj and his wife, Sister Grace, continue with their family and church members in India to feed the hungry, and encourage people in the faith. These are dedicated and compassionate servants of our Lord Jesus Christ, who are dedicated to carrying the message of the Gospel in word and in actions wherever they can.
Our latest video from the work that God is doing in India through Pastor Satyaraj and JGF Ministries: “Pastor Satyaraj and his team walked many miles into the mountains to bring food, blankets and the Gospel to these precious souls in their tribal village. Thank you for your prayers. May God bless you!”
Currently, They are finishing the basement for the school in India. Next , they will be constructing pillars for the roof…mostly all by hand.
Recently, while the school was being built, Pastor Satyaraj took his wife and a team to the mountains to distribute food to hungry pastors and tribal people. During this ongoing pandemic, no other support has been coming through to these beautiful people. God saw the need of these families, and the desire of Pastor Satyaraj’s heart to minister to them. These pictures show the result of God’s love towards these precious souls.
This is the beautiful orphanage that faithful prayers and giving hearts have helped to build. “God setteth the solitary in families:” (Psalm 68:6)
This is the orphanage that our church aided Pastor Satyaraj in building for children who had no one else before his ministry took them in.

UPDATE – March 30th 2021: “Pastor Satyaraj preached the Gospel in this village in India today (see below). Please pray for him. He said he is weak and has one desire: to win people to the Lord Jesus. Thank you.” – Pastor Bossidy

Here’s a recent note from Pastor Satyaraj to Pastor Bossidy: “Praise the Lord Pastor Hope everyone is Good! We are praying for you all. We had wonderful services today. Pastor, there is a tribal area named Kuridi way upon the hills. I visited that place three times, first and second time for Gospel, third time when I went there 60 people get baptized. We appointed there a pastor. We are going back again to that place for Gospel and also praying for them who are sick. The thing is it is very very difficult to reach that place. It takes 2 days, one day on bike, and one day completely it will take to climb the mountain to reach the people. Actually myself and some church boys. I need to walk whole day. I have packed all water and food, nothing is available there. I have request for you, I am little weak these days, please kindly pray for me in your prayers for all my journey to this place. That many get saved and healed.” – Pastor, Dr. Satyaraj Vennupu
