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
That's why standing in the name of National Seat of Christ, I ask the rest of my ten and a half to see that he was only so weak that we can win. Thank you for your coming over here. I said, we can exist in the same. Oh, I only want to take a glimpse of some department. If you are a child of God, one day we shall see this. This is heaven's story. It is not a story. It is not a story. We will be there. Welcome to our lecture. We are the people, we are the people, we are the people, we are the people, we are the people, we are the people, we are the people, we are the people. This is Chabra, brother of Baksing, attended the funeral and thanked all the believers. Chabra, so deeply moved that it is wrong to say that Prophet Baksing has died. As I said, this morning also, Adam is dead and Christ is conscious of death. Therefore, one single martyr living in this world was not translated. I said one single martyr was proved. He had to take two complete hundred persons out of their graves. This is the point. Where can you move to any direction that you want? And as I said, I claim my name because both of us were born of the same parents. Both of us were born of the same parents. I am not saying that I am the father of Adam. But you are. But also, the real brother and sister were born again. Therefore, all of you, if you have faith in Christ, you will surely be brothers and sisters of Baksing.
