Bro. K Gnanaraj was born and brought up in Nelkattumseval, a small village in Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu. After completing ITI in the year 1991, he came to Kandanchavadi, Chennai–for work. He, along with his mother and brother, began his fellowship with Christian Brethren Assembly, Neelankarai, Chennai. In the year 1994, he was saved and in the same year he was baptized, and continued his fellowship with Neelankarai Assembly.
In 1999, he received the call for the Lord’s ministry. He resigned his secular job and moved to a small two-room house in Housing Board, Kannagi Nagar. He stayed there as a bachelor, and fulfilled the Lord’s ministry in and around Kannagi Nagar & Okkiampettai.
As a result of the efforts, on 4th February 2001, Sunday worship, with five believers, was started. The Assembly gathered in the Evangelist’s house. In that cramped place Bible Study, Prayer Meeting, Sunday school, Gospel Meeting, and Worship meeting were conducted regularly.
His marriage was solemnized on 18th August 2004, with Ms. Deva Oli, D/o Bro. Paul & Sis Bakkiyam, who are ministering for the Lord in Arulachi. God blessed them with a daughter, Tirzah Liberal, in the year 2005. God blessed their ministry efforts and added many new souls to the Assembly. In the year 2008, God blessed them with a boy baby, Lobbying Paul.
By God’s abundant grace, Bro. Gnanaraj, along with his family, is fulfilling God’s work in various aspects for the past 20 years.
