Welcome to the South India Church Mission

​

​

Welcome to Hope to Millions Ministry, a beacon of hope and compassion that was initiated by the visionary leadership of Talluri Joseph in the 1980s. With a deep commitment to serving the poor and spreading the word of God, Talluri Joseph embarked on a journey that touched the lives of many. His son, Talluri Suresh Paul, stood alongside him, fully dedicated to every aspect of the ministry.

​

Talluri Joseph, a High School headmaster with a heart for the marginalized and vulnerable, recognized the immense need for compassion and spiritual guidance in nearby villages. Inspired by Jesus' teachings, he embraced the call to help those in need and to bring the message of God's love to all. The words of Jesus in Matthew 25:35-36 resonated deeply within his heart: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

​

However, tragedy struck on September 27th, 1987, with the passing of Talluri Joseph. This event marked the beginning of a challenging period for the family as they faced a series of unexplainable hardships. The ministry experienced setbacks, financial difficulties, and the struggle to maintain both the church and the family. Yet, they persevered in their mission, undeterred by the obstacles they faced.

​

Talluri Suresh Paul, following in his father's footsteps, displayed remarkable strength and determination as he took on the responsibility of carrying forward the ministry. With unwavering faith, he continued the work of his father, relying on God's guidance and provision. Despite the financial hardships and discrimination they encountered, the ministry remained steadfast in its commitment to serving the marginalized and spreading the message of God's love.

One verse that resonated deeply with Talluri Suresh Paul during these difficult times was Isaiah 41:10: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." This verse reminded him that even in the face of adversity, God was with them, providing the strength and support they needed.

​

In 2012, Talluri Roni Joseph, the son of Talluri Suresh Paul, joined the ministry, bringing renewed energy and passion. Recognizing the importance of reaching those in tribal areas, remote regions, and forested lands, where the name of Christ was not yet known, Roni Joseph dedicated himself to expanding the outreach efforts of the ministry. Together, father and son worked tirelessly, organizing special programs, conducting Bible studies, and providing practical support to communities in need.

​

The ministry draws inspiration from the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." These words remind them of their mission to spread the gospel and make disciples, regardless of the challenges they face.

​

Being a Christian in a country where Christianity represents only 2.3% of the population can be challenging. The ministry understands the unique struggles and obstacles faced by believers in India. Despite the societal pressures and limited resources, Hope to Millions Ministry continues to shine a light in the darkness, offering hope, healing, and the transformative power of the gospel to individuals and communities.

We thank God for the opportunity to serve and for the support of our partners and donors. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those we serve, and we can bring hope to those who are in need. May God bless you abundantly as you join us in this important work.
