  • Victor and his wife Sunitha live in the twin city of Hyderabad-Secunderabad, the capital of the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. They have 3 children, Chrysolite, Josephine and Kelly.

    They are part of a local evangelical church that practises believers’ baptism. They run a hostel near to the church and their home for young people pursuing further study in the city. This work is supported by a small UK charity called the Parchur Orphanage Trust.

    Victor was brought up in a Christian home and was converted as a young man. He decided to pursue full-time Christian ministry and came to feel a great burden for the unreached tribal peoples of India and Andhra Pradesh in particular. He began to explore ways of reaching these people who lived in remote villages.

    Over the past 20 years or so Victor has seen hundreds of these people turn to Christ, be baptised, with small churches established under the care of local men whom he seeks to train and guide. He is constantly looking for new opportunities to spread the Gospel and plant churches.

    As a fellowship we support 4 “missionaries” working on the northern border of Andhra Pradesh as they seek to evangelise and plant churches. Victor and Sunitha also run a small orphanage near to their home for the most needy tribal children. This is supported by donors from the USA.
