Grace Ministries
Yellamanchili Town, India
I am Cornelius Chinna Sikala Sr., the pastor of Grace Ministries located in Yellamanchili Town, India. I have been married to my wife, Theresa, for almost sixteen years. She sings and leads in our time of worship. We minister full time as a family with our teenage son, Sunny Sikala.
I was brought up in a Christian family where my parents were good believers. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior when I was fifteen years old. After I completed college I went to bible school and finished my Master's in Divinity degree. While in bible school I attended the YWAM program and God called me to serve in 2003. I have been ministering in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Orissa.
It is our desire to reach those who are untouched in our society with the gospel, and give them hope and the chance for a good and happy life. God gave us a wonderful vision through the great commission of Matthew 28:18-21. We continue going into the interior remote villages preaching the Word of God and planting churches where there are no churches. We now have 150 churches in the two states.
The pastors of these remote villages work hard without any financial support or adequate church facilities. Not having transportation they walk everywhere they go. We are praying for ways to get them bicycles so they can travel easier and farther and reach more of the surrounding villages.
There is a great need for helping the orphans and needy children of the villages and slums. Our Grace Children's Home runs a school program and child development center that is working to providing tuition, school supplies, clothing, and teach good hygiene as we share the love of Christ to the children we are able to reach.

We have a widow and leper ministries that helps these poor forgotten souls obtain food and other means for sustaining life. There is much to be done as we work among those who cannot help themselves.
It is our goal to plant 1000 churches by 2025. This may seem to be an impossible vision, but with God anything is possible. We have partnered with Bless Ministries Mobile USA in hopes that their resources and contacts will be useful in generating donations and interest for or vision worldwide.
