About
Harvest India Vision Ministries is a dynamic and dedicated organization committed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the unreached communities and remote villages of India. Founded by Pastor Joshua Kanikella in Kakinada, India, our ministry began with a profound vision and purpose. We are driven by a deep sense of faith and a desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those who have yet to experience the love and message of Jesus.
Mission
Our mission is to bring the light of Christ to every corner of India, particularly focusing on the interior and underserved regions. We work tirelessly, seven days a week, to fulfill this mission. Our dedicated team travels to various villages, communities, and tribes, reaching out to people from different backgrounds and castes. Through evangelism, street preaching, and sharing the Gospel, we strive to make a difference in the lives of those who have not yet heard the good news.
One of our primary goals is to establish churches in areas where none exist. We believe that every place devoid of a church should have one, and every heart untouched by the Gospel should be reached. Our ultimate mission is to witness a transformation where India becomes a nation devoted to Christ.
Vision
Our vision is firmly rooted in the belief that God has called us to reach the unreached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pastor Joshua Kanikella, driven by divine guidance, left a successful career to pursue his calling. Since 2021, he has been laboring in Kakinada, preaching in five congregations in both Kakinada and Tuni, witnessing the blessings of God in the ministry.
Our greatest vision is to see India fully embraced by the love of Christ. We tirelessly work towards this vision by seeking out villages and communities where the Gospel has not yet reached. As an organization, we focus on planting churches in areas where there is none, spreading the message of hope and salvation.
While we are dedicated to our mission, we acknowledge the challenges that come with it. Transportation is a pressing need for us, as reaching these remote places is often costly and difficult. We pray for support in acquiring a motorcycle to facilitate our ministry and extend our reach further.
Harvest India Vision Ministries is dedicated to serving the unreached with unwavering faith and devotion. We invite your prayers and support as we continue on our journey to bring the Gospel to every corner of India, one village at a time. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most.
