Abraham Sekhar was born in a remote village in South India. He had his primary/secondary school education in a public school. He was born to a Christian family and had a godly upbringing. He accepted the Lord as His personal savior at the age of 16, and at 17, he was baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit. He was mentored by R Stanley, Blessing Youth Mission. He received his lifetime promise and direction from God from Jeremiah 1:8-10 at the age of 19. He was a youth leader until the age of 23 and the responsibility of looking after a church as a pastor fell upon his shoulders in the same year. The Lord taught him the church growth principle in the year 1979, and then in the midst of many challenges, and steps of faith and risks, sacrificing self, family and other comforts, he has traveled to 13 states of India and was instrumental in initiating and establishing over 800 New Life churches, inclusive of house churches and village churches. Harvest of souls would have been about 100,000. Each initiation is a testimony in itself.

In 1995, he went through’ severe testing in life, but God resurrected him within three months and challenged him to continue the race. Several independent churches and leaders came forward to have his oversight and by the year 2000, he and his wife were overseeing about 1200 independent pastors and leaders and were mentoring them under the name and banner ‘Spirit-Filled Churches of India (SFCI)’. By 2005, Dr. Abraham Sekhar with his wife has trained over 12,000 leaders and pastors and implemented healing ministry in over 3000 churches within the next 7 years. In 2006, Abraham had an inspirational verbal encounter with God, clearly speaking to him to prepare a platform for the coming Rule of the Lord prior to the return of King Jesus. The messages preached by him after this encounter is mostly on ‘LET HIS KINGDOM COME’ or on ‘Kingdom Dynamics’. The Lord has taken them beyond their national border to neighboring countries as the fulfillment of the lifetime promise in Jeremiah chapter 1. In 2012-13 God also spoke to them to recognize THE SHIFT that was happening in the Body of Christ Globally and led him to spread that vision everywhere. The Shift is of the Holy Spirit in transforming the Body of Christ to move into realms of ministering with signs and wonders. He was inspired in 2012 to be of a voice to the nations of the world and thus along with other team members incorporated the GLOBAL APOSTOLIC TRANSFORMATION MISSIONS (GlobalATM) to recognize the five-fold ministers of God and equip them to be released into their calling. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (1971), a Master’s degree in Engineering and Technology from IIT Powai (1973), one of the globally recognized five famous institutes in India, and in 2019, he graduated with a Master of Arts Degree in Public Policy from Helms School of Government, Liberty University, USA. His wife Sheila is a medical doctor, supporting him in His ministries. They both have written and published several books and articles, which are available at www.asriglobal.org.
