Reaching the Unreached with Lohith

India

About the Ministry

Lohith, is a dedicated church planter serving in one of the most heavily Hindu-dominated regions of India. With over a decade of ministry experience, he has developed a growing church plant that he actively oversees. In addition to his role as a church planter, Lohith serves as a theological trainer and mentor for struggling pastors in the region, equipping them biblically to navigate the complex cultural and spiritual landscapes that exist in India.

A significant part of Lohith’s ministry involves reaching out to tribal communities—many of which have little to no Gospel presence. He is working diligently to find effective and culturally sensitive ways to plant churches without inciting resistance from the local Hindu population. His approach is marked by wisdom, humility, and a deep reliance on prayer.

Beyond church planting, Lohith is also deeply involved in reaching to the children marginalized due to their parent’s economic and cultural backgrounds. He provides spiritual care and sometimes support for hundreds of economically challenged children though school supplies and on occasion food. This is the only hope and practical these children will receive.

Lohith’s ministry is widely respected—not only among Christian leaders, but also among some outside the church who admire his compassion, integrity, and commitment to the well-being of his community. His influence continues to grow as he builds bridges across religious and cultural boundaries, shining the light of Christ in some of the darkest and most unreached areas of India

Meet the Leader: Lohith (pseudonym)

My ministry focus is located in a village in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. In 2005, I was involved in an accident that damaged both my legs and feet. At the time, my family situation was desperate – coming from a Hindu family, we pled with our gods for healing and restoration of my legs and feet. It was during my time awaiting surgery that a local Christian came to my room to pray for me and my healing. My surgery was a success and, even though I didn’t know it at the time, I prayed to Jesus and gave my heart and life to him. I dedicated my life to share God’s word to all the local unreached villages in our part of Andhra Pradesh.
