[toggle type=”gray” title=”” active=”active”]Evg P G VargisP. G. Vargis was born in a very remote village of South India. His father practiced a synergistic faith of eastern orthodox Christianity and local forms of Hinduism. As a young man, P. G. Vargis tried to find meaning in all kinds of religion, including flirtation with black magic. Disenchanted, he became an atheist. He soon began to indulge in various vices.
As a young man P. G. Vargis joined the Indian army. Here he started to smoke about 120 cigarettes a day. He would begin his morning coffee mixed with rum, and would continue drinking till late night. Gambling, stealing and fights became common. P. G. says, “I became a very hardened and cruel man. Borrowing Paul’s words, I too became a chief of sinners.”

A series of events led P. G. Vargis to attend a tent-meeting. Here he heard the gospel preached clear and loud. He gave his life to Christ on the second night, and he experienced a powerful transformation. A new man, passionate to share Christ’s love and power began to quickly emerge. Read P.G. Vargis’ powerful transformation story Answering the Call

A few months after his conversion, P. G. and Lilly felt the clear call of God to serve as full time pioneer missionaries in North India. They went to Katra, a Hindu pilgrim center, in the lower Himalayan mountain. God began to create breakthrough in this hardened land. Soon, 100 people accepted Christ in few months, a miracle. Within three years that number had grown to 300, and daughter churches began to spring up in surrounding mountains. A movement began to flow out of the first church in Katra. Soon, the movement spread like wildfire throughout Northern India. This was the birth of Indian Evangelical Team. Read the full story of P. G. and Lilly Vargis’ call and their response
