Abraham Wesley Chandolu & Family

Our Favorite Verse of Scripture:

      I will go before you
      and will level the mountains [a] ;
      I will break down gates of bronze
      and cut through bars of iron.
                              Isaiah 45:2

Who we are:

   CHANDOLU ABRAHAM WESLEY                      
         A PROFILE
    Born into a second generation dalit Christian family in an obscure village in the State of Andhra Pradesh, India. My nominal Christian parents became true believers in the Lord when I was a small child and thus I had the privilege of growing in a God-fearing and God-loving atmosphere.

  Salvation experience:  I gave my life to the Lord when I was 16, but I could not experience the full joy of the Lord for many years until one day the Lord spoke to me through His word.

  Educational qualifications:   M.S(Physics).,  
A.M.C.I.,  Dip.A.Psy.,
 
  Ministry experience:  The Lord called me into full-time ministry on August 30,1979. Served as an Itinerant Evangelist and took teams of Gospel
Volunteers to various unreached parts of India for over two years. Joined Trans World Radio, an international Christian broadcasting organization in 1982 as National Research Coordinator.  Trans World Radio International appointed me as Program Director for India in 1984 in which position I continued in New Delhi till 1993. During that time I was also on air in a daily teaching program in Telugu which has become the most popular Telugu Christian radio program.
  In 1994the Lord led me out of Trans World Radio and after much prayer and waiting an indigenous mission called India Revival Ministries was birthed. India Revival Ministries is an interdenominational indigenous mission committed to reviving the national Church and reaching the utmost unreached of India with the Good News of the LORD JESUS CHRIST through literature, education and training. It is registered with the Govt. of India in the state of Andhra Pradesh as a charitable no-profit organization.

  As an Author and Publisher:  I started writing when I was in the university and I continued writing since then. My first Christian work was published in 1990.  Some of my works have been translated into major Indian Languages and were printed by Trans World Radio India.. So far I wrote 23 books and the Lord is gracious in using these books for the edification of His Church.
   In 1995 I started publishing a Telugu bimonthly book called Nippu Ravvalu (The Sparks) which is by far the most popular Christian periodical in Telugu Language and it is decorating over 4000 Telugu homes every time.
   I also serve as the Chief Editor of all the Publications of India Revival Ministries. We publish books, booklets and tracts for various reader groups. There are a few other writers also who help IRM by giving their writings to IRM for publishing. The books that I write become the property of India Revival Ministries and the profits there of go to the mission fund to support our native missionaries.
   What is India Revival Ministries doing ?
At present we have 22 full-time missionaries and 37 voluntary workers in IRM.  We also support over 150 village Pastors and Evangelists with our literature.
   Recently IRM has launched a publishing project called CHRISTIAN HOME LIBRARY, with a goal to encourage and equip every Christian home to develop a small library of its’ own. It is our desire and prayer that we may be able to keep a good number of quality books in these Christian Home Libraries spread all over India.
 Family:  My wife Nalini is a coworker in the ministry. We are blessed with three sons John Williams M.Sc (24), Daniel Wilfred (M.C.A) (22) and Joel David(20) Studying Bachelor of Physiotherapy. It is our prayer that our three sons become full time missionaries.
