Christopher Srikanth
River of Destiny Ministries
Chennai, India
Supported since 2022
Every person counts. We are an “out of the box” charismatic, evangelistic, missional church: more of a “go and be” rather than a “come and see” sort of church. You’d find us just an ordinary bunch of people, raring to go places for God; broken vessels whom God uses. Like our homes, our lives are also open and transparent. We consider every individual who walks into our church or home as God-sent. This gives us an opportunity to instil intrinsic value in them which could have been stolen during childhood, stormy circumstances or broken relationships.
Prayer Requests:
- Prayer for growth among pastors
- Prayer for more souls to be added
- Prayer for growth in finances
- Prayer for my wife and me to have more staff to delegate and to be released to do bigger roles for Kingdom of God expansion
