Raphaministries

Our Mission

We exist to glorify God and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ (1 Cor 15:3,4 ; Jh 3:16)and the message of his return (Tit 2:13 ; Jh 14:2-3). We believe that God gives life to our ministry as we are faithful to carry out His purpose. We exist in order to bring news of salvation to our world and to develop fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

The vision

Our vision is to disciple and build up believers in God's inerrant Word found in the Holy Scriptures(2 Tim 3:16). Although still disciples of Christ ourselves, the purpose of the ministry is to follow Christ's command to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations" Matt 28:19a. we are a teaching ministry designed to discuss primarily end-times prophecy and it's impact not only on the Christian faith and walk, but also to equip and strengthen believers against the false teachings of the world. We exist to teach, edify, encourage and emboldening believers with the truth (Rev. 19:11) so that they can therefore go forth in faith and evangelize and disciple others.

Our Activities

Church Planting:

"Equipping leaders, churches and associations to impact the planting of one million dynamic churches to reach the world for Christ." We fulfill our vision through a series of training tracks offered to leaders around the nation. In keeping with the multiplication principle of seeing churches multiply through church planting,

Revival Meetings:

It does every church some good once in a while to set aside a few night for people to come together to seek the Lord for spiritual refreshing and for the souls of the lost.
It is good for the congregation to hear a different voice every so often. The evangelist complements what the pastor preaches and confirms it in the ears of the listeners. The lay people say, "He is preaching the same thing our pastor does; there must be something to it." It gives the evangelist an opportunity to use his God-given gifts to help edify God's churches.
Churches that have revival meetings baptize more people than churches that do not have revival meetings. If you think a church is doing well without revival meetings, it would do even better with them.
Revival meetings are biblical. The people of God periodically had multi-day meetings to seek the Lord a fresh.

Pastors Conference:

If we are going to equip a strong laity we need to be equipping pastors who can be part of that process, and we want to equip pastors who have a vision for the ministry of the laity. There are many pastors’ conferences that people can attend, but we felt we want to have a conference where we are nurturing, strengthening and encouraging pastors who have a vision for the ministry of the whole people of God. Because of our vision of the pastor, a lay person can benefit from it very easily. Because we don’t view the pastor as some kind of special human being, but rather having a unique function, a lot of what we say to the pastor as person is relative to every disciple as a person.

Gospel Healing Crusades:

Rapha committed and dedicated to take the Word of God into the midst of the people. Gospel and Healing Crusades are the best way to draw thousands of people from the surrounding villages at one place. Towards this end we have been organizing the crusades with eminent speakers every year.

Rapha Bi-Monthly Magazine:

Rapha Bi-monthly magazine is devoted to the worship of the Lord Jesus Christ through literature, and through living according to His Word. We wish to introduce our readers to the best Christian literature, Christian devotionals, counseling, and to the understanding of the relevance of the Word of God in our daily life, in telugu language. We learn by listening to and reading. We believe that any creative writing with literary sensibilities that focuses on the presence and life-changing ministry of Jesus Christ is Rapha literature. We believe that we all need the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ in order to live a life according to His Word. Rapha literature and other writings anointed by the Holy Spirit through Rev. Johnson Mett help us to develop a personal relationship with Jesus as the Lord and Savior. And Rapha Literature is reaching around 2000 subscribers.

Fire Youth Retreats

In all our retreats we want to focus specifically on the kingdom type of living that Jesus came to illustrate for us in our lives. Of course we're also very excited about the incredible opportunity that this retreat provides for our students to passionately worship God until their legs grow weary beneath them.
Once again, our hope is that students will experience several things at this retreat:

We want students to reap the encouragement that comes from meeting hundreds of students who share a similar church/spiritual background.
We want to place students directly under the outpouring of God's spirit. We expect that most students will be seriously strengthened and refreshed.

We want to challenge students to live lives worthy of their calling in Christ Jesus.

Rapha Bible Centre:

Rapha Bible Centre was started on 19th January 2004, which offers a one-year course in 'Christian Theology' with a motive being "Making disciples to make disciples" (Matt 28:18-20). The students will be awarded a certificate in 'Christian Theology' after the completion of the course. However, we are praying and looking forward for more teachers and preachers to impart the best teachings to the students and train them to be useful vessels who can reap the harvest for the Lord.

Suppot Our Pastors:

The Bible says, "If you strike the shepherd, the sheep will scatter." This is why we believe the devil has aimed all of the artillery of hell at our pastors.
At the core of today's problems is moral and spiritual failure. We need a global spiritual awakening! For this to happen, we need pastors. God-called and God-anointed pastors who lead and preach God's message!
The Bible also says, "How shall they hear without a preacher?" Clearly and plainly the answer is God-anointed and God-appointed pastors.
God's Word instructs us to support our clergy. "The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching." (1 Timothy 5:17) Note… we are instructed to give them not just some honor, but double honor.

Helping The Poor:

Ministry to the poor endeavors to expand God's kingdom through the preaching of the gospel to the poor and needy. By providing for their basic needs, a window of opportunity is unfolded thus opening people's hearts & souls to the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are blessed to have you as our partner. We are eternally greatful as you purpose to be a blessing in your partnership with us in seeing people's lives touched by the life- changing power of the gospel.

Hospital Ministry:

Hospital ministry is essentially a crisis ministry. Persons who are experiencing illness or injury are in crisis. Their lives have been interrupted and changed. They are being confronted with pain and uncertainty about the future. They are in a strange environment and are probably having to be totally dependent on medical professionals for their continued welfare. They have little privacy, and even less control over their schedule. All of this places a person under stress and evokes in them emotional and behavioral responses that may be quite different from their normal style.
