I want to share some good news to you all about preaching ministry publicly and on T.V. by the grace of God I am able to preach and teach everyday a lot and was asking questions by many people to giving answers according scriptures.

Recently T.V. ministry was blessed and extended to 6 days in a week. Morning, evening, and night times, totally six days in different times in a week I am preaching on T.V. So many people are listening and calling me to know many doubts and questions.

Since 15 days I am preaching continuously from the book of Matthew 16:15-19 how and why Jesus promised to Peter to build his church what is the meaning of the Church. How God, Son, Apostles, and Holy Spirit taught about this great Church in the old and new Testaments.

Wow! Receiving many calls and explaining deeply. God blessed me very much, I am really blessed by God. Thanks God for all of this good work here which going by local church.

From this week I will start to Preaching the book of Revelation. Wow! this is great and wonderful book, how and why John wrote this book to seven churches in the time of Domitian, and how Christians faced troubles and tribulation in that time. Please if any want to share your ideas and wisdom in this, you are most welcome to give me your valuable thoughts and ideas to preach here. This is the right and good time to preach the word of truth among untruth people.

Please continue your prayers to give me knowledge and wisdom in preaching and saving heathen people in this last age.
