In His Temple doth every one speak of His glory.
(Ps. 29:9)

From March 2003, God has been doing a quick work to establish the Jesus Temple movement. All glory to Him.

07 March 2003 - The Call
The first glimpse of the vision for the Movement was established to me during an intercessory prayer, worship and praise session for the nations of the world. This was at the International Children's Ministry Institute (ICMI), Litchfield, Illinois, USA.

25 March 2003 - The Call Confirmed
God starts downloading ideas, worship styles and the pattern on which Jesus Temple must be modelled.

July 2003 - Consolidating the Vision
Starting from ICMI and leading on to Family Harvest Church, Tinley Park, IL, God starts equipping me with spiritual principles with which Jesus Temple will be founded upon:

  • At ICMI, God releases me in Praise & Worship and shows me its power over demonic strongholds
  • At Family Harvest Church, He teaches me the principles of Biblical Economics, the blessings of working within authority structures and practical hands-on training on working at a church
  • At the International House of Prayer, Kansas City, MO, He shows me the possibilities and the power of worship as it was in His Temple built by Solomon.

September 2003 - July 2004. Scouting the Land
God takes me across India on missions and teaching/preaching assignments. I build cherished relationships with the body of Christ, while He shows me areas that Jesus Temple must deal with.

  • Travel as part of the ICMI India Missions team. Ministered in over 6 states ministering at over 43 meetings.
  • Ministered to leprosy patients with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and Shoes For Hope on various occasions

July 2004 Onwards - The School of Excellence
God  brings me to America again. He enrolls me for the intensive School of Excellence for Young Ministers' Program at Family Harvest Church. The goals to birth Jesus Temple in the natural put in place.

August 2004 Onwards. Formal Preparation Time
Through the graciousness of Pastor Robb Thompson, God blesses me with an admission to the International College of Excellence. A long cherished career goal comes to light.

March 27, 2005 - the 1st Jesus temple up 
At 3PM, the door of the 1st Jesus Temple opens for worship. God inspires me to convert my prayer room into the 1st temple. It features objects that reflect the Hindu culture - lamps, 24 hour worship, flowers - while being Biblically accurate.
