3rd GENERATION CHRISTIAN MINISTER
I am Dr. Alexander Daniel, a third generation Christian minister of the gospel. I have been in the ministry over fifty years. I do travel to all over the World to share the Good-News of Jesus. I held mini-crusades and ministers seminars in number of nations, in various times. I do believe in signs, wonders and miracles through the name of Jesus. My wife and I pray for missionaries, churches leaders and all ministers of the gospel around the World. When missionaries first came to India ( In 1903 ) from other nations representing various denominations, my grand father provided all the logistical support for them to spread  the gospel in India. My Grandfather (John Ayyapilla) was a wealthy Hindu idol worshiper.  His father was one of the eight Princes who ruled in the province of  Travancore, at that time. Today, Travancore is known as Kerala. When the Christian  missionaries brought the gospel of Jesus Christ to India over one hundred ago, he heard one of the messages from the Bible on the street, "come to ME all who are weary and heavy laden, and I shall give you rest."( Matt 11:28-30). My grandfather immediately responded to the message and made the commitment to follow Jesus. As a result, his own family rejected him and he suffered many persecutions for the sake of the gospel. The Lord Jesus changed his life and put him in the ministry of the gospel for many years. My father ( Rev. P. J. Daniel ) was also in the ministry for 57 years. He pioneered and planted many churches both in the North and South India. I accepted Jesus when I was eight years old. As a ten year old, I started to travel to share the gospel of Jesus Christ on the streets. Then one day, I felt there was something missing in my life that I should seek after. After searching through the Word of God, I was thoroughly convinced what I needed in my life was the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It was in 1960, the Lord  Jesus helped me and He baptized me in the Holy Spirit.  Since that time, I have found a new zeal for God, a stronger anointing and the confidence which I had never before. I have discovered a new ministry and the Lord used me with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 

MOVED WITH COMPASSION
Just as Jesus was moved with compassion and love toward the multitude, the Spirit of Jesus sent me to all across the country of India to minister the Gospel. In spite of much resistance from the radical people, I was able to reach many people. The Lord Jesus  performed the signs , miracles and healings among the people through this ministry. The Lord taught me how to walk by faith and not by sight and also He taught me to trust Him for my every need. Whenever I had great needs in my life, I always confessed Word from Psalms 37:25 "I have been young, and now I am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Or his seed begging bread." Time after time the Lord showed that His Word works in every situation.  Praise God! 

Pastors John & Dodie Osteen have influenced my life tremendously
Since my parents were missionaries, I spent altogether 28 years in both North as well as in South India, which included my early childhood years and also my college years. The Lord saved my life from sickness and even  few times from the jaws of death. In 1962, the Lord spoke to me and confirmed my ministry  through number of prophets of God that He would send me out of India to many nations to minister the gospel. In 1968, I was able to work with late Pastor John Osteen in his gospel crusade in India. Later in 1971, it was through Pastor Osteen that I was able to come to US. Pastors John & Dodie Osteen have influenced my life tremendously. In 1972, I was ordained as a minister of the gospel from Lakewood Church. This same year Rita and I got married in Houston at Lakewood. We have four   children: Sharon, John, and  the twin boys, Paul and Peter. For the last several years, I have  traveled around the world to minister the Word of God in many nations. I have been able to establish Bible Schools in India, and also  planted many churches there.   I do travel to India twice a year , and I spend few months each time there to help the people.
