PASTOR’S TESTIMONY
My name is J.Premkumar. I was born in good Christian family in a village called Silverpet of Arakkonam taluk,
Vellore district in Tamilnadu. My father name is Mr.V.Jayapal (late) and my mother name is Mrs.J.Jayamarial
My parents had six children, I am the sixth one. I came to know through my mother that my birth was miracle
the reason is my mother thought that is very hard on those days to maintain five children with the income of my
father, so she took many kind of village treatment to avoid my birth but out of her trails I was born on 4th May
1959 by the Grace of our Lord according to his will as the scripture says in the bible (Ps 139:14, 15, 16; Jer 1:5;
Gal 1:15)
Then I was brought up in the Fear of God, I used to go to the Church and attending the Sunday school classes
regularly. Days were gone, I finished my XI (Eleventh SSLC) in the year of 1975-76, and I finished my P.U.C
course at Pachaippas College at Kancheepuram in the year of 1976-77. Then at the age of Eighteen (1978) in the
month of January 28th I had attend one Gospel Meeting at Arakkonam by the Bible League Branch of
Madras Bible League. At that time our lord spoke with me through his word (John 4:10) and I was convinced
by the Holy Spirit about my life and I was condemned by the holy sprit about the sin which was present in my
body, sprit & soul. At the same place I did totally surrender myself to our lord JESUS CHRIST and I confessed
all my sins, I asked Jesus to wash myself by his blood and strength to out come from my sins and do not commit
again such sins. Then I took Immersion Baptism on 18th Nov 1978. Before that I anointed by the Holy Spirit and
started to walk with Jesus.
From 1980-1982 under went to teacher training (D.T.Ed) and I finished the same, Mean while 19th Oct 1984
the Lord gave a vision and called me for his ministry, first I couldn’t understand the vision but on 23rd Oct 1984,
I understood the vision and I submitted myself for his ministry.
After one and half year, I prayed to know what kind of ministry that god wants me to do. Finally in April 1986,
I came to know that my calling is for Pastoral Ministry.
Then finally I started a church called Arakkonam Pentecostal Assembly in 6th July 1986, since onwards
I am doing my Ministry by the GOD’S GRACE and with the help of believers. We started four more church
and handed over to my colic’s. Now in main church nearly three hundred and fifty members were present.
