Introduction to the Ministry.
At Hallelujah Ministry, India, our narrative is one marked by unyielding faith, sacrificial dedication, and a resolute commitment to serving the deepest jungles of India, particularly among the Yanadi tribes and other marginalized communities. Established in 1991 by Pastor Shadrak Yeluri, who heeded a divine call to forsake personal comforts and embark on a journey of faith, our ministry has evolved into a powerful force for good in Gudivada, Andhra Pradesh.
Starting from humble origins, living under a tree, to establishing churches in regions untouched for a millennium, the ministry has touched the lives of thousands in impoverished and marginalized communities. Our journey reflects an unwavering belief in the transformative power of God’s love. Today, under the leadership of Pastor Shadrak’s son, Philip Yeluri, we carry forward this legacy, propelled by a vision to establish the kingdom of heaven on earth. We are committed to making disciples, addressing both the spiritual and physical needs of the poor and tribal communities across Andhra Pradesh, India.
History of the Ministry
The history of Hallelujah Ministry is a profound testimony to the transformative power of faith and obedience. In 1991, prompted by a divine calling, Pastor Shadrak Yeluri fearlessly abandoned the comforts of his life to embark on a journey solely guided by God’s direction. Alongside his wife and 5-year-old son, he ventured into the deepest jungles, living under a tree, and passionately shared the gospel with people from various walks of life, particularly focusing on tribal communities and untouchables who were rejected by society and left without hope.
Despite facing threats, persecution, and even expulsion from a village due to political pressures, Pastor Shadrak, by the grace of God, established the ministry. With unwavering faith, he endured over 26 years of challenges, witnessing the ministry’s expansion and the deepening of its foundations. Today, under the leadership of Pastor Shadrak’s son, Philip Yeluri, Hallelujah Ministry stands as a beacon of hope. The ministry has planted churches, cared for tribal communities, their children, impoverished individuals, widows, and orphans. It has provided shelter in happy homes, drilled wells for clean drinking water, offered medical assistance, and, above all, shared the boundless love of God.
The history of Hallelujah Ministry is a narrative of perseverance, sacrifice, and an unyielding commitment to building God’s kingdom on earth.
