Director
Rev. Ganamuthu
It all began in the early 19 th century in a small hamlet, in the life of my great grand father Sannasi a Hindu village priest. The willingness and sacrifice of the American Madurai Mission Missionaries, to come to our village to show their love and affection surprised our great Grandfather and made him to listen to the powerful Gospel of Jesus Christ. Marvelous changes took place in the life of the Hindu priest and he accepted Jesus Christ as the new and only God. From that time on he renounced the family deities and the ungodly practices that oppressed the community. His relatives, who saw the witnessing life of Sannasi and his family who accepted Jesus Christ as the real God and the Savior of the World, also got converted to Christianity and as a result of accepting Christ as the personal Savior the First Church emerged in our part of the country. Mr. V. Gnananmuth father of Aruldoss at the age of 10 was brought to Pasumalai by the missionaries for schooling and further his theological studies in United Theological Seminary in Pasumalai. During that period of time my mother Mrs. Jothimani from a convert from orthodox idol worshiping family was undergoing Bible Woman training. The missionaries stationed at Manamadurai Mission Station arranged the marriage between Mr. Gnanamuthu and Miss Jothimani. Mr. and Mrs. Gnanamuthu started to minister in villages around the 90 square Km. They planted many churches and they remain today as testimonies of the dedicated service of Mr. & Mrs., Gnanamuthu.
With much gratitude to the Lord God Mr and Mrs. Gnanamuthu dedicated their First son Aruldoss to the ministry. As they have praying Aruldoss accepted as His Lord and savior when he was 14. years After his college education in BSc Chemistry he, got married to Vijaya, daughter of Rev. C.M. Albert, senior Pastor of Church of South India Diocese of Madurai- Ramnad. The Lord used him in many ways during the 17 years of ministries with Youth For Christ. In the year 1989 he found a Mission Organization called India Field Evangelism and Lamb’s Institute of Field Evangelism its subsidiary. So far 1765 have graduated through training program and hundreds of Churches emerged through the sincere efforts of these graduates.
