Portrait of the founder of Victorious Ministries.

Beginnings

Brother John Joseph, hailing from Tuticorin, grew up in a family with three elder sisters and one younger sister. He embraced the Lord at the age of 13 and received the anointing of the Holy Spirit at 14. Shortly thereafter, he began preaching at house meetings.

Upon finishing his secondary school education, he joined Power of Jesus Ministries as an assistant to Brother Sundar John, where he utilized his musical skills by playing the guitar and keys for a period of seven years.

Education

John Joseph studied his Lab Technician Course. He later went on to successfully complete his Ph.D. specializing in Hyper Grace in 2013, followed by an M.Th. in Christian Counselling in 2014. Currently, he is actively pursuing his second Ph.D. at Day Spring University in the USA, exploring the topic of Islam in the context of the Bible.

God's calling

In September 1996, he distinctly heard the Lord's call to establish a full-time ministry, which gave rise to Victorious Ministries in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The ministry has been consistently blessed by the signs and God's word.

He actively conducts youth ministries every month, focusing on the younger generation who are envisioned to become the future pillars in the body of Christ. Responding to invitations, he delivers sermons in conventions and imparts teachings in various churches, irrespective of denominational backgrounds. Possessing a wealth of current information, he is well-prepared to educate and train believers and leaders on the worldviews of major religions and to provide a Christian perspective for preaching the Good News.

Apologetics and television

Since 1996, he has dedicated his efforts to concentrate on Christian apologetics, particularly addressing questions related to Islam. Additionally, he hosted an exclusive television program called Christavam Oru Iniya Anubavam, answering Islam in the light of the Bible, every Monday evening at 10:30pm, which serves as an eye-opener for many, including Christian believers and leaders.

Family

He is married to Evangeline Prema John, and together they have two daughters. Sweetlyn Jasper John being their eldest, and Nesalyn Jenefar John is their second child.
