Bakht Singh

Bakht Singh Chabra (1903 - 2000). Indian evangelist, church planter, and Bible teacher born in Joiya, Punjab (now Pakistan), to a devout Sikh family. Educated at Punjab University, he studied agricultural engineering in England (1926-1928) and Canada (1929-1932), embracing a Western lifestyle, including smoking and drinking, while rejecting his Sikh roots by shaving his hair. Initially hostile to Christianity—once tearing a Bible apart—he converted in 1929 in Winnipeg after reading the New Testament, influenced by Christian friends John and Edith Hayward. Returning to India in 1933, he began preaching as an Anglican evangelist, later becoming independent, sparking the 1937 Martinpur revival, a pivotal movement in Indian Christianity. In 1941, after a night of prayer in Chennai, he founded Hebron Ministries, establishing over 10,000 indigenous churches modeled on New Testament principles across India and South Asia. Singh authored books like How I Got Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory and held annual “Holy Convocations” in Madras, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Kalimpong, drawing thousands. Married to Rama Bai at age 12 in 1915, little is recorded of their personal life. His contextualized gospel, blending Indian spirituality with biblical truth, earned him the title “Elijah of the 21st Century” in Indian Christendom. Singh’s words, “I have never asked any man for anything, but the Lord is richly supplying all my needs,” reflect his faith-driven ministry. Despite Parkinson’s disease in his final decade, his legacy endures through Hebron’s global network and writings, praised by figures like Ravi Zacharias.

Sermon Transcription
The message on Fruit-Bearing Palm Tree, released by the Lord's Servant, Brother Bhagat Singh, on the evening of 14th November 1968, during the All India Holi Convocation, held at Ebron, Hyderabad. The message, translated into Telugu, is the Lord's Servant, Brother Suvarna Rao of Guntur, and in Hindi, by the Lord's Servant, Brother Lathar Singh of Gujarat. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we come at Thy Feet. We believe Thou hast something to say to all of us from Thy Word, and we feel so unworthy to come in Thy Presence. But we thank Thee for the precious blood which Thou hast made us worthy. In the manners of the precious blood we call upon Thee, and we call upon Thee, everyone, when they are in the pandal outside, even though very far away, they may come in any motive, but we claim Thy Mercy, and love and favor of everyone. Lord, shower Thy Mercies as Thy Name applies for everyone. I don't allow anybody to empty from Thy Presence. By faith we rebuke the power of darkness. By faith we confess the blood. Without drawing every eye from man, without making every eye to be fixed upon Thee, only Thy words we heard, only Thy love we tasted. In our being here may please Thee. The harmony of us that we call upon Thee, have become the precious blood, and pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Savior. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Savior. From the beginning of this year's Holy Convocation, we are going to have a celebration. The very same verses are being brought to our attention almost in every gathering. Not that we have planned it ourselves, but as we pray, somehow or the other, again and again, the Spirit of God does, with the same verse of Panabhash. So God won't make a mistake. The Holy Spirit is trying to bring to us the same message again and again. He must have a purpose, and get a purpose. The Holy Spirit has been bringing this message to us again and again. It means that there is a great thought of God hidden behind it. So we humbly request you, please do not lightly treat these words of God. Even though you may forget all that has been said, any message, but don't forget these words. Let the Holy Spirit write and engrave these verses upon your hearts. Now you go on saying by your faith again and again, my loving God, my mighty God, will you kindly make my life, life this flourishing life. Fruit-bearing palm tree. So you yourself go on praying, O loving God, O merciful God, you yourself make my life, the fruit of this palm tree, fruit-bearing palm tree, so that I may continue to grow and prosper. The answer to our prayer is based on what we are praying for, and how much we are praying for. So in response to your prayer, the prayer that you will do, any prayer, it doesn't depend upon the length of prayer, or the words in prayer. It depends upon the faith. You will find even a few broken words spoken by faith, will bring a better result than a very long prayer with many nice words. Now we humbly request you, you pray by simple faith. If you don't remember the whole verse, just say, Lord, verify thy word, Psalm 92, and the verse 113. Now we humbly request you, even if you don't remember the whole verse, just say, Lord, Psalm 92, 12, 13, and the verse 113. And I am sure, one day you will find these words being fulfilled in your life. Because God of love will never reject any prayer out of faith. He says in Jeremiah 33, and verse 3, Call unto me, and I will answer you. And I will answer thee. And he has said to us, in Psalm 81, and verse 10, Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. He is not talking about opening mouth wide for rice and other food. Open your mouth wide for those things which will make your jaw full. And you will find in John 16, 24, the Lord is saying that in John 16, Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name. And the Lord is saying that in John 16, Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name. Ask, that your jaw may be full. Ask, and you will find, that your joy may be fulfilled. We saw these verses on Saturday evening. We saw how the disciples had been asking the Lord Jesus Christ many things in the past three years. They asked many things. You find that in Luke 10, chapter 17. But none of those things made their jaws full. Even though in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ they had cast out demons and healed the sick people and done many great things. But he told them clearly none of these things which you have seen will give you true joy. But he told them clearly in which way their jaw can be full. But he told them clearly in which way their joy can be fulfilled. Luke 10, verse 20. Now understanding in this rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven. Even then rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven. Only then our jaws can be full. As the Lord said, only then our joy can be fulfilled. We may hear sermons, we may possess many things and acquire much in the world. Our jaw won't be full. Can you say truthfully and sincerely that your jaw is full? You find the whole message of the Bible towards that end. Same way you find that in 1 John, and chapter 1, and verse 4. These things we write unto you that your jaw may be full. But your joy may be full. Your jaw may be full. And that's why this wonderful book, the Bible, the word of God, is brought to us through God's prophets. Our jaw may be full so that our joy can be fulfilled. In spite of the actual trials come to mankind, our jaw can be full. No matter how many tests or tests come to us, At this moment, through Jesus Christ, born of God, this message was conveyed to the world by heavenly messengers at the time of the birth of Jesus Christ. Second chapter, and verse 10, And the angel said unto them, Fear not, but behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. The heavenly messengers said to him, Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. This message which has been given has come from heaven and will be conveyed by the angel. And it came at the time of the birth of Lord Jesus in Bethlehem, and for all people. And the angel said, Fear not, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people which shall be to all people great joy all people great joy all people great joy all people And this message came from the authority of God. Even though our sin may be like a thick dark black cloud, even though our sin may be like a thick dark black cloud, even though our sin may be like a crimson, even though our sin may be more than the grains of the sand or seashore, even then, our joy can be full. And that's why you find today the same message being preached to people speaking more than 1155 languages. And that's why you find today the same message being preached to people 1155 languages. The same message being given in the jail, in the leper asylum, sanatorium, among people uncivilized, civilized, high authority, anywhere. All people and that's why I was not died. Before our Lord Jesus was betrayed to be crucified by Judas. A week before that, our Lord had told His disciples three times at least, how He was going to suffer and be killed for their sake. Our Lord had told His disciples three times at least, how He was going to suffer and be killed for their sake. Having heard that, dear Lord, whom they loved so much, was going to be despised, spat upon, reviled and mocked to be fight. Our Lord had told His disciples three times at least, how He was going to suffer and be killed for their sake. They heard this word and became very sad. Couldn't understand that. Why should dear Lord, with so much love and grace and compassion and mercy and goodness, suffer like this? Whosoever came to Him was healed by Him, blessed by Him. Whosoever came to Him was healed by Him, blessed by Him. With no exception. Whether they were Jews, or Samaritans, or Gentiles, anyone who came. As many as a touch were made perfectly whole. As many as a touch were made perfectly whole. Yet He is saying to His disciples, My disciples, now I am going to be reviled and mocked, and spat upon, and crucified. Yet He is saying to His disciples, My disciples, now I am going to be reviled and mocked, and crucified. Yes, He said. Lord is going to the Gethsemane where He was about to be betrayed by Judas. So, Prabhu, as He was walking on the narrow path to Gethsemane, He spoke very slowly and lovingly these words. As He was walking on the narrow path to Gethsemane, He spoke very slowly and lovingly these words. As He walked, He talked. These words were recorded in John 14, 15 and 16. Lord knew their thoughts of sadness, that's why He speaks in gibberish. Lord knew their thoughts of sadness, that's why He speaks in gibberish. Then He is saying that in John 15, verse 11, and in John 15, verse 11, Lord said to them, These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might be fulfilled in you, and that your joy may be full. What things? That thing which He spake about His suffering and about His reproaches Lord said to them, These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might be fulfilled in you, and that your joy might be fulfilled. They were saying, Lord, why should you suffer? He was saying, These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might come into you, and that your joy may be full. Lord said to them, These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might come into you, and that your joy may be fulfilled. When Jesus Christ was born, the same message, and before crucifixion, the same message, and before crucifixion, the same message, so that your joy might be fulfilled. And when the Lord went to heaven, the same message was given to Philippians 4.4, Philippians 4.4, again I say rejoice, again I say rejoice, heavenly joy, spiritual joy, great joy, and joy for all people, joy for you, joy for me, joy for Suvarna Rao, joy for Radhar Sen, joy for Yusuf Adam, joy for any Adam, but there are some people who look miserable, doesn't matter what they eat, what they drink, what they wear on, very, very long face. They might say, it's not my fault, my face is like that. My mother gave me such a face. No doubt, as a natural man, you won't have a good face. Such a joy won't come by any natural, human, worldly qualification or possession. It is not possible to have such a joy by being planted in the house of God. Now, what things, generally speaking, give you some joy? Two things. Success and prosperity. Whenever you might have passed any exam in the school or university, you got some happiness, some joy. When you won any race, you got some medal, you got a joy. When you won a court case, you got some joy. Similarly, when you got a promotion, you got some joy. Similarly, when you become prosperous, your income doesn't increase, land doesn't increase, you got some more joy. Similarly, when you get more salary, or you get more land, you got some more joy. If you get a lot of land or a big house, you got some joy. This is true, but such a joy only for a short period maybe for a few days or a few weeks or a few months or a few years. But this joy, no man can take from you. St. John Gospel, John R. R. J. Sudhamachar and chapter 16, verse 22, and last part, and your joy no man taketh from you. Actually, joys will go away when the conditions change. Your enemies can take away your joy. By speaking ill about you or doing some harm to you, they take away your joy. Either some bad person says bad things to you or your ancestors or your friends by betrayal can take away your joy. Your children becoming unthankful can take away your joy. Similarly, your mother-in-law can take away your joy. Similarly, your mother-in-law can take away your joy. No man, no woman can take away your joy. When health fails, when everything goes wrong, your joy goes away. Any disappointment can take away your joy. Any kind of disappointment can take away your joy. No man taketh from you. God is Himself saying those words. Have you told them in John 15, verse 4, or did He say in John 15, verse 11, that your joy shall be fulfilled? God is Himself saying those words. Your joy, no man taketh from you. At that time, the disciples were looking very, very sad. The Lord was saying, even though I have been with you all the years, you have suffered with Me and been with Me. But so far, your joy not fulfilled. Now He says, I love you so much. And that's why I want your joy to be full. And for that purpose, I must die in your stead and rise again for your sake. Now, at that time, these words were very, very mysticism, full of mystery. How can by His suffering like this way, our joy can be full? But now when you are saying these words, our hearts are so sad. He is saying, now you are telling us, you will be spat upon and reviled and scourged and then killed. So they were saying, so far you haven't suffered yet that way. Now you are only telling us. And your own words are now making us so sad. But now when we see you suffering, how much more sad we will be. And when we see ourselves that God is causing so much sorrow, how much more sad we will be. For us, people will spit on you, for us, people will beat you, for us, you will have to die. But how can we ever tolerate such a thing? You are saying, by your suffering, our joy will be full. Lord, these words are beyond our understanding. That's quite true. You will never know the meaning of these words only with your own intellectual human wisdom. It's only the speed of God coming into you, will give you the divine wisdom to understand the meaning of these words. To know the meaning. It's only the speed of God coming into you, will give you the divine wisdom to understand. Now we find, after our Lord rose again, the very same people who were arguing with him before, they became mighty men. And they also began to suffer very, very joyfully. That's why Apostle, and chapter 4, and verse 13, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived they were unlearned human men, they marveled, and they were happy with Jesus. They were unlearned men. Common fishermen. Now all these men of whole Jerusalem, they wondered, how can these men become so bold and so brave, and so full of joy. They have no fear. They know we have power to kill them, power to imprison them, yet they are so bold. And chapter 5, and verse 41, and they departed from the presence of the council. They were counted worthy of shame for the name. They were reproached. They were shattered. They were despised. They were rejected. But they are dashing. They have no money. They have no building, no home. And all the Jews as a nation are against them. Wherever they went, they are being reproached for the name of Lord Jesus Christ. Wherever they went, they are being reproached for the name of Lord Jesus Christ. Chapter 13, and verse 52, Chapter 13, chapter 13, when? When they were hated and persecuted and expelled. Verse 50, by the Jews stirred up the devout, honorable women and the chief men of the city and their persecution against them and expelled them out of their coast. The men, chief men, women all got together, they began to cuss them, abuse them and expel them. What happened? They were filled with joy and the holy God. They were filled with joy and the holy God. This heavenly joy. This is your joy, joy unspeakable, which no man can take from you. Now don't think that joy was only meant for those people and not for you. It's for you also. And the message came from heaven by the heavenly angels. Fear not. Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy. This shall be to all people. Young people, old people. Rich people or poor people. Educated or illiterate. Outwardly gaudy people or murderers. Other professors or rickshaw drivers. Matric fail or PUC fail or graduate. Even you have failed 35 times in PUC. Even you have failed 35 times in PUC. Even then your joy shall be fulfilled. We say by God's authority. And we also have found the same joy. We have found it. Otherwise we have no business to talk about it. Otherwise we have no business to talk about it. But we can say with authority and love for your soul. How does that joy come into us? Our Lord told us. New gospel again. And chapter 10. Verse 20. Notwithstanding in this just not. That the spirits that are under you have rejoiced. Because your names are written in heaven. Because the spirits that are under you have rejoiced. Because your names are written in heaven. Your names are written in heaven. Not in the actual book. Not in the domination register. In the heavenly book. All your names are found in the heavenly book. You will be surprised when you see your name missing. And now the results of an exam. They publish the result in the newspaper. They only give roll number. They don't give a name there. On that day everybody goes and buys the paper. Even though they have done very badly in the exam. But they publish the paper in the newspaper. Looking for the roll number. 775 775 They came to 774. Next number. 776 776 All joy go away. Next number is not there. Many will find their name missing. In the book of life. Tell us truthfully. All your names are found in the heavenly book of life. This is the book of revelation. And it's number 21. And number 27. And they shall in no wise enter the city, and think that the father, whatever abomination, I make it a lie. But there, it's written in the lamb's book of life. But there, it's written in the lamb's book of life. And there shall enter no innocent thing, or the one who does evil, or the one who lies, but only those, whose names are written in the book of life of the lamb. What is written in the book of life of the lamb? repeated twenty-eight times in the book of Revelation. You find a very helpful study, you must put all the effort together on the land of Revelation. So when John the Baptist saw the Lord for the first time after baptism, in John 1.29, he said to his disciples, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. At that time the Jews were waiting for their Messiah. And John never said, Behold your Messiah. He never said, Behold your master. He never said, Behold Jesus of Nazareth. He never said, Behold a mighty prophet. He never said, Behold the Lamb of God. In other words, if you want to know that man, know him first of all as God the Lamb. If you want to know him, you must know him as God the Lamb. You won't know him by seeing his miracles, hearing his sermons. Know him, know him as God the Lamb. Lamb, one who is going to be slain for your sins and your defilement and your corruption. Lamb, one who is going to be slain for your sins and your defilement and your corruption. For those who believe in that Lamb, saying, Now I know, I believe, Lord Jesus Christ as God the Lamb was crucified in my stead for my sins as Lamb. For those who believe in that Lamb, saying, Now I know, I believe, Lord Jesus Christ as God the Lamb was crucified in my stead for my sins as Lamb. Only their names are found in the heavenly book. To the sins are forgiven. To the found new life. Spiritual life. Heavenly life. The pure life. Only their name will be found there. Now some of you may keep in houses. You keep your dogs or cats or pigs or buffalos. And your cat goes on giving kittens after many months. Similarly your dog goes on giving young ones. Many many puppies. And your pigs still many more. Now you won't have a book for them. You won't say, My dear cat, give birth to so many of my children. You won't say, My dear dog, give so many puppies. You won't say, My dear dog, give so many puppies. You won't say, My dear pig, give so many puppies. Now you won't have a book for them. But when God gives you, you won't say them. Why the girls? Very very black or fair. My loving heavenly father gave me this child on this day. He is so happy. You only write the names of your children in that family book. Not your neighbor's children. Your uncle's children. Not your dog's children. Not your cat's children. They don't belong to your family. Only the blood girls family, they will find their name in that book. And that's how we are planted, planted in the house of God. And that's how we are planted, planted in the house of God. You see in the Christian Epistle, the Holy Spirit uses seven names for God's people. One name is Church Ecclesia. Second name, the body of Christ. Third name, one new man. Fourth name, God's family. Fifth name, God's building. Sixth name, God's temple. Seventh name, the blood of Christ. All the names have the same meaning. Body of Christ, family of God or house of God. To show to us our spiritual rise as God's people. To show to us our spiritual rise as God's people. So the psalmist says in Psalm 92, Only by being planted in the house of God, we can become like a flourishing fruit bearing palm tree till the end. Only by being planted in the house of God, we can become like a flourishing fruit bearing palm tree till the end. Once they become a group, only then they yield much fruit and go on yielding for a long time. But when these palm trees are planted in the house of God somewhere, But when these palm trees are planted in the house of God somewhere, Then you find all who come to the same house will take their share looking after it. Then you find all who come to the same house will take their share looking after it. You find the house of God. Even them will I bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Even them will I bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer. All people. House of prayer for all people. House of joy for all people. The stone and the bricks and the timber and steel won't make God's house. The stone and the bricks and the timber and steel won't make God's house. We put together and become God's house. But only those who have started claiming of sin, they become God's house. Only those who have started claiming of sin, they become God's house. I was 15 when God lived only in two places, high in the holy place and secondly in a humble heart. So those persons who sinned are forgiven, have started claiming, put together, they become God's house. Whether they are few in number or more in number, wherever they gather, you feel the presence of God. Those who are living in sin, they are never born again. They may gather in any building. They may sing any number of songs. Nobody will say, God is here. They come empty, go empty. But wherever people gather with a pure heart, whether they are rich or poor, whosever will come in the midst, I felt there the presence of God. Have you become a member of that house? Only then you will find heavenly joy coming in and going out. By becoming a member of the heavenly family. Now we plant the palm tree which is planted in the house of God. All who come there will take some share in watering it, cooking of it. You find even rich people, poor people, all take some share with pleasure. And that's why the tree will go on yielding good fruit and much fruit all the time. A long time. And by becoming a member of God's family, similarly, when you become a member of God's family, for example, here we are having Hyderabad Convocation. And you will be surprised to know how many saints of God are praying for us in every part of the world. You will be surprised to know how many saints of God are praying for us in every part of the world. We have received letters from Africa, many part of Europe, America, Canada, Australia, England and Malaysia, Asia, many part of India, Islam and Pakistan. We have received letters from Africa, many part of Europe, America, Canada, Malaysia, Asia, India and many part of India. We have received letters from Africa, many part of Europe, Canada, America, Malaysia, Singapore, Pakistan and India. Since we have heard that there is a holy assembly in Hyderabad, we have been continuously praying for it. In many cases we have never seen those people, we don't know their names also. They never came here, we never went there. But by some means they found out we are also in the same family. But by some means they found out we are also in the same family. And that's why you are able to feel the presence of God. And that's why you are able to feel the presence of God. Not because of a new song or a good sermon. No, no, no, no, no. Because of the freedom of God's people that we have in every part of the world. Because of the freedom of God's people that we have in every part of the world. We are being watered by their prayers and their love constantly. We are being watered by their prayers and their love constantly. Oh, become a member of God's family. Oh, become a member of God's family. You don't belong to God. God divides us in two groups. Devil's family, God's family. Satan's family, God's family. John's Gospel, chapter 8, verse 44. John's Gospel, chapter 8, verse 44. John's Gospel, chapter 1, verse 12. But as I received him, then gave him power, the sons of God. Sons of God. And the children of Devil. What's your group? What's your family? You can't give a wrong answer. You got to prove it. Which is your family? Devil's family or God's family? Only those who have received eternal life, spiritual life, divine life, pure life, God's life, they belong to God's family. Only those who have received eternal life, spiritual life, divine life, pure life, God's life, they belong to God's family. Others, Devil's family. If I call you each of Devil, if I call you child of Devil, you feel like beating me. How dare you call me Suvarna Rao, a child of Devil? I have no right to doubt. God has. He can say to you. You don't belong to me. Baggage may say to you. Baggage may say. You won't say. Yes, my dear son. He's only a beggar. You got to be born in the family of God. And that's why our Lord was Nicodemus. And Nicodemus was outwardly leading man. In the whole nation of the Jews, there is a 70 member committee to govern their affairs. And he was one of them. A prince. How could he call the man? And he saw many miracles. Then our Lord was saying, Nicodemus, so far you are in Devil's family. You want to be in my kingdom. And in God's family, you must be born again. You must be born again. You must be born again. There is only one way. To be planted in the house of God, family of God. By receiving eternal life. The same life that our Lord holds again. The same life. The death conquering life. He died to take away our condemnation about sin. And rose again. To live in us. And to make rivers of life to flow through us. And he was saying in John 7.38, Who shall believe upon me, of the valley shall flow rivers of living water. Not a few drops. Not a one stream. Many, many rivers. Going outside. Every year. And you find many, many, they are coming again. Blossom grows. And you find many, many, they are coming again. And that life will make you abundantly and fully fruitful. And that life will make you abundantly and fully fruitful. And for a lifetime, you go on yielding everlasting fruit. Everlasting love. Everlasting peace. Joyous, speakable, full of glory. Full joy. Victory over temptation. Love for the enemies. Love for the enemies. And to be able to rejoice in poverty and sickness. Understanding of heavenly mysteries. You find that life growing. You got to be planted, planted in the house of God. You got to be planted, planted in the house of God. When they plant a tree in the house of God, they don't do so only for a few days, a few weeks. It's not like a bamboo. Go on pulling it out. The tree is kept there. Go on giving shade and shelter and fruit. Everybody coming in. And you find in the very same house of God, there come poor people. Big people. And Madiga. And Reddy. And Gomti. When the tree is here, you are a Madiga. Don't come over here. I'm only for a mala. You are a Madiga. You are a new Madiga. You can't have my fruit. You can't have my shade. I only give fruit to Madiga people. Many Christians. Looking for a match for boy and a girl. First question. Is she a Madiga? Are you a mala? Are you a Reddy? Are you a Gomti? Next question. Is she black? Is she fat? Is she a trained nurse? What a shame. What a darkness. What a blindness. They don't know the house of God. That tree, the house of God gives shelter and coolness and fruit to everybody. In return, it is watered by everybody. Look after by everybody. Watering by everybody. Watering by everybody. You all can become such a tree. By getting your name written in the land book of life. Only possible when our sins are forgiven and guilty sins washed away. In every country, the law is when a child is born, only in that city they have their name written. Wherever a child is born, they have their name written. If a child is born in Hyderabad, give your name in Hyderabad office. You won't send a cable to the American president. My child is born in Guntur. Would you like to write my child name in America? I want my child to be an American citizen. I will pay some of the money. What will happen to you? You go to jail. You will go to jail. Your child is born only there under name. Otherwise you go to mental asylum. Where is your name? In the land book of life. And the Lord will wash you of all your sins by the blood. Are you conscious of his life flowing into you? Do you find that life increasing? Becoming more and more like rivers. There is some proof. We are conscious of divine life coming constantly. We humbly beseech you, lovingly beseech you, be planted in the house of God. We humbly lovingly beseech you, be planted in the house of God. Be planted in the family of God. In the land book of life.

Bakht Singh Chabra (1903 - 2000). Indian evangelist, church planter, and Bible teacher born in Joiya, Punjab (now Pakistan), to a devout Sikh family. Educated at Punjab University, he studied agricultural engineering in England (1926-1928) and Canada (1929-1932), embracing a Western lifestyle, including smoking and drinking, while rejecting his Sikh roots by shaving his hair. Initially hostile to Christianity—once tearing a Bible apart—he converted in 1929 in Winnipeg after reading the New Testament, influenced by Christian friends John and Edith Hayward. Returning to India in 1933, he began preaching as an Anglican evangelist, later becoming independent, sparking the 1937 Martinpur revival, a pivotal movement in Indian Christianity. In 1941, after a night of prayer in Chennai, he founded Hebron Ministries, establishing over 10,000 indigenous churches modeled on New Testament principles across India and South Asia. Singh authored books like How I Got Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory and held annual “Holy Convocations” in Madras, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Kalimpong, drawing thousands. Married to Rama Bai at age 12 in 1915, little is recorded of their personal life. His contextualized gospel, blending Indian spirituality with biblical truth, earned him the title “Elijah of the 21st Century” in Indian Christendom. Singh’s words, “I have never asked any man for anything, but the Lord is richly supplying all my needs,” reflect his faith-driven ministry. Despite Parkinson’s disease in his final decade, his legacy endures through Hebron’s global network and writings, praised by figures like Ravi Zacharias.
