Joseph Cherian, who is called Pappa Joseph by those who have been counseled and encouraged by him, is a Bible teacher and a parenting and marriage counselor. The precious revelation he brings you through his messages is the fruit of over 40 years of fervent Bible study, meditation and persevering prayer for understanding of God’s purpose for man as revealed in His written Word.
During those decades, God prepared him for His ministry by allowing him to go through, and then rescuing him each time by a miracle, experiences so intense, often deadly, and so peculiar it is likely his Christian journey probably has few parallels in this generation: near-deaths, extreme sinful living, cultism, near-suicide, rejection of Christ and attempts to prevent the proclamation of the Gospel with the help of anti-Christian forces, imprisonments, living as a fugitive, alcoholism, fearful battles with depression, and finally, his rebaptism and return to Jesus Christ.
The Lord - after first revealing Himself through a dramatic personal encounter with this writer at the deepest mire of his life - had won him over and transfigured him with the revelation of his awesome love and unfailing mercy.
It is the extremely intense experiences in his life that have enabled him to more keenly perceive God’s dealings with man and to deeply understand His incredible purpose for those who love Him and receive His salvation through Jesus Christ.
