KINGSON CHRISTIAN (OUTREACH & EVANGELISM PASTOR) HOPETON CHURCH 19390 COUNTY ROAD 440 HOPETON, OKLAHOMA 73746 PHONE: (580) 748 1114 E- MAIL: Kingson@bethesdaministriesindia.org
I, Kingson, am married to Roopal (Lily) and we have a son Roopson who is eight years old. Roopal my wife is a Petrochemical Engineer. We both have dedicated our lives to the ministry of the most High God. I have earned my degree in Mechanical Engineering and Associate Degree in the Biblical Studies from an Indian Seminary.
Before I was even born, my father told my mother that they are going to have a male child and will Dedicate him for the ministry and he will be a pastor. In God’s due time I was born as a healthy male child. Before I knew the sins of the world at the age of four God Almighty filled me with his Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues. Since then God put a burden upon me to pray for the lost Souls of my state of Gujarat, India. My whole family and I used to pray for hours for the lost souls.
Though it is unbelievable but that was the spirit of intercession which God poured on us. God did many miracles in my family. Noteworthy one to mention is that one of my brothers became lame who was not able to walk. One day we all brothers and sisters got together in a room circling my lame brother and began to pray for his leg. As we said Amen his leg became straight and he started jumping and dancing. This happened right in front of our own eyes. Another time my sister who is 7th in chronological order was bitten by a deadly venomous scorpion. We did not go for medical care but we just prayed and poison in her body disappeared instantly. In the Book of Daniel chapter 11: 32 it says: “The people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits.” My sister Ester who is an Evangelist in India was in comatose for several days and at the verge of death gasping for her last breath. Since my mother could not witness this tragic stage, she covered Ester’s face with a bed sheet and prayed to the living God saying “Lord if you keep her alive, we will praise Your name forever.” While mother was praying, God appeared to my sister in vision and spoke to her. Immediately she removed bed sheet from her face and she said “Mom I had a Vision from the Lord” After then she dedicated her life to the Lord and committed to serve the Lord for the rest of her life. Now she has been mightily used by the Lord with signs and wonders, adding thousands of souls to the kingdom of God.
Remembering all the miracles took place in our home we asked God. “Are you the God only to our family?” there are millions of people here in our state that is worshipping idols which is not God. We prayed fervently asking to use us declare mighty works among these lost souls. Slowly God began to open doors for the ministry. We started going to town to town and village to village preaching the Gospel. During these last 16 years, I have seen many un-saved coming to the Lord, healed miraculously, delivered from evil spirits, witch doctors giving up their practice and accepting Jesus Christ as their God. Many of those witch doctors are in the ministry today and I Praise God for that. We planted nine churches in different parts of Gujarat State in India and covered 65 villages with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have also extended our territory to the neighboring states of Maharastra, Rajesthan and Madhya Pradesh.
During the Government of Bhartiya Janta Party for more then five years this government was strongly against Christianity and Christians missionaries. Fanatic Hindu movements and Organizations have killed many missionaries, many were tortured and beaten up, and many churches were set on fire, mostly in northwestern India. Other parts are not exempted even. But the good news is that during those five years of anti-Christian government rule God saved more souls than ever and greater miracles have been taking place. My family is busier in preaching and teaching the word of God than ever before.
I have been in the ministry ever since I was in School. I started sharing the Gospel to my school friends. I had four very close friends from very high caste Hindu religion. God Touched them and they accepted the salvation through Christ Jesus., God baptized and filled with The Holy Spirit. They faced strong opposition from the families and community, but they are still Strong in the Lord. Since then to until today the pace have never slow down.
In 1992 I was Ordained into the ministry as the youngest Ordained Christian Pastor in the whole State of Gujarat, India. Not only Ordained by the Bishop of Christian Organization, but also certified & licensed by the Government of India as a priest of Christian Religion, Which is highly essential to perform ordinances such as Wedding, Baptism etc... I am boasting into the Lord because when I applied for my certification to the government. Hindu extremist government was on rule. There was hardly any chance in obtaining license. For me it was priority as many people were accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Master and had to be baptized and so forth. In normal condition it takes minimum two years for the issuance of the certification, if they sanction. Mostly they deny. But in my case, as God was in favor and had special purpose in my life I received license within 2 months. As my parents dedicated I even before my birth and I obeyed to the will of God. He provided everything I needed to continue in the Ministry.
God opened the door for me to come to the great country of United States of America. I came to United States to minister to Indian-American people. I have been to Brooklyn. NY, NJ, Philadelphia, Chicago IL, Chattanooga TN, Oklahoma City etc…. Where there are many Indian Gujarati families live and work .God used me tremendously around this states. Many were saved, healed, delivered and gave their life to Jesus Christ. Now I am serving with Hope ton Church as an Outreach & Evangelism Pastor. Ministering at Bill Johnson Correctional Center in Alva, James Crabtree Correctional Center in Helena, Oklahoma and also evangelizing among Indian American Non-Christians .God has anointed me with musical ability to sing, and play musical instruments such as Keyboard, Guitar and Drums. God as enabled me to release two CD’s of Praise and Worship in Hindi. My wife Lily has burden for children and she is gifted in Children’s ministry. She has also worked for “Save the Children.” organization for several years in India, using her talent to minister to the children living in slums and poverty. Along with Joshua I can say, “As for me and my house, we shall serve the LORD.”
There was a time when my father did not have enough to feed the nine mouths and buy enough clothes. But as we read in Proverbs Chapter 10: 22 It says. “The Blessings of the Lord it maketh rich and he addeth no sorrow with it.” Now God has blessed my family to bless many other people with Food, Clothes, medicine, shelter and many other means of help. God has blessed us with all means and ways. But my only desire in my heart today is to serve Him diligently and bring more souls to His kingdom before His coming.
Almost all my family members serving the Lord with their family responsibilities and jobs.
In His Vineyard

Glory to God. I am Kingson Christian born in the state of Gujarat India, fanatic Hindu predominant state in India where Christians are persecuted and killed. Mahatma Gandhi was in this state. I am an Outreach Pastor for Hopeton Church in Hopeton, Oklahoma. I am the fruit of an American Missionary. An American Missionary came to India in the state of Gujarat, India. “Denied the luxurious life of America, learned the culture of India and preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” As a result my mom’s family accepted Christ and the whole town came to Christ.
Later after my parents married and had a family of nine children. My dad brought home a pastor he had heard him in another town. He stayed with our family for a month. He preached a real spiritual depth Bible truth. God touched our family in a new way. Here I would like to give a picture of my family involvement in the ministry since then.
My father Solomon and mother Sarah have five daughters and four sons. I, Kingson am the youngest in the family. My parents received the call of God and dedicated their lives to the will of God and raised us children in the fear, wisdom and fellowship of the Lord.
