KA PAUL THE FAMOUS EVENGLIST IN THE WORLD
KA PAUL
    Dr. Paul was born to staunch Hindu parents in a village in India. In 1966, the family became followers of Jesus Christ. In his teens, He traveled with his Evangelist Dad to hundreds of villages in Andhra Pradesh. Dr. Paul soon learned that sharing the Gospel was not a natural career but a supernatural career. He saw how the enemy kept people blind and in bondage. He also discovered that his Source and power to open blind eyes, was a gift from God. He learned to live by faith at an early age. At 19,Dr. Paul had a special encounter with Jesus Christ. God gave him a vision of Hell and in that vision he heard loud screams and saw thousands of people falling into Hell. This changed his life and he decided to become a full time minister of the Gospel. Dr. Paul took the challenge and moved to an adjoining state and learned the language. During this time, He experienced hardship and slept on Railway benches, cow stables, open fields and often went for several days without food. Dr. Paul went into the deep jungles and met with lot of resistance. In one encounter Dr. Paul was kidnapped and beaten. In another major encounter, He was beaten and left for dead. But a few days later, Dr. Paul told the Judge that he forgave his attackers. Within two weeks, his attackers received Jesus as their Personal Savior.

         
         Dr. K.A. Paul has appeared on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, CSPAN, TBN, BBC, FOX NEWS and several other radio and TV stations around the world.He lives a simple, modest life in Houston, Texas. His wife Mary and their 3 children (Grace, Peace, and John) live in a small home. Paul travels 15 days a month and is always looking for ways to reach the ‘Unreached’ for Jesus.Charity City isn’t just a place…it’s a successful template for facilities and programs that can be replicated in diverse countries and cultures around the world. Funds are being raised to build 120 Charity Cities in 120 of the most needy countries and places on our planet.Based on the success of GPI’s 325,000 square foot Charity City outside of Hyderabad, India is a Charity City is designed as a multi-purpose facility that incorporates a large capacity orphanage and school to house up to 1,000 children. It also contains a separate training center to house and train widows who are completing training as Little Teresa’s.The construction and operation of these cities also provides stimulus to local economies and employment/volunteer opportunities with the alliances of other organizations. The charity city concept also helps build trust and grassroots allegiance with locals as GPI reaches out to local leaders to embrace peace and cooperation.

   
GLOBAL PEACE INITIATIVE
KA PAUL
      For that reason, K.A. Paul is uncomfortable with the title, at least in the terms Americans think of an “Evangelist.” Most Americans’ connotations of the title do not even remotely define who K.A. Paul is and what he does—as a matter of fact, in many cases he is exactly the opposite. And even if it is perfectly understood, the title Evangelist still only partially describes him. It was once noted that K.A. Paul has a combination of the defining characteristics of four people who changed the world: Mahatma Gandhi (peace leader), Mother Teresa (servant of the poor), Dr. Martin Luther King (human rights leader determined to end injustice), and Billy Graham (evangelist). While this truly describes K.A. Paul and his work, it leaves him searching for an appropriate title.
    1983. K.A. Paul was ordained at his father’s church and in the same year founded Gospel to the Unreached Millions ministry in India, at the age of 20.

       There are at least seven major differentiators between K.A. Paul and America’s concept of evangelists.Although he would never condemn or criticize others for doing so, K.A. Paul has never collected an offering at any of his rallies—whether a small crowd of 300 or a massive rally of millions. We are not aware of any other evangelist who has ever done this.
       
    While most of America’s evangelists, televangelists, and pulpits thunder God’s judgment on evil/enemy rulers, K.A. Paul reaches out to them with an appeal for God’s mercy on them, and an appeal for their mercy on their subjects. Besides the predictable meetings with Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Sovereigns, K.A. Paul has also met with most of the world’s most hardened despots and tyrants. Astonishingly, K.A. Paul has been instrumental in stopping or averting five wars in seven countries using this approach—and it has all been done by following one of Christ’s simplest precepts: it is not the healthy who need a physician, but the sick. In sharp contrast to America’s evangelists, K.A. Paul doesn’t own a piece of property anywhere in the world— not even the $60,000 house where he resides. Again, in stark contrast to other leading evangelists, K.A. Paul’s salary (not counting $582 / mo. housing allowance for the $60,000 house where he and his family reside) has averaged less than $2,000.00 per month for the 12 years he has been a green card holder. (His tax returns are available to the public.)It is very important that K.A. Paul not be perceived wrongly or outright marginalized because of a title he never sought. His life work is to help the poor, the hurting, and the dispossessed. He tries to assist those who can never pay him back, and reaches out to those no one else wants.
        That is the defining purpose of his life, no matter what title is used to describe it.
