Jeeva Pakerla - The Maranatha Movement

Pastor Jeeva Pakerla was born into a family with a multi-generational commitment to serving the church in India. He is the President of The Bible Mission in Narsapur, the founder of the Maranatha Movement, and leads Jereu Music Ministry. In conversation on The Church Around the World, he shares practical insights for following God's leading and focusing on evangelism and discipleship ministries. After earning an M.S. in Management Information Systems at Eastern Michigan University, he pursued a successful career in business. However, he felt God’s call to return to India and dedicate himself to full-time ministry, focusing on evangelism, music, and church ministry—sacrificing the opportunity to settle in the United States.
He was a Billy Graham Scholar recipient while receiving an M.A. in Evangelism and Leadership from Wheaton College. Today, he focuses on transforming lives and communities through the Gospel, serving as pastor of the Bible Mission Church in Narsapur, Andhra Pradesh, and leading the Maranatha Movement, which draws over 40,000 attendees each month through charitable initiatives, festivals, Jereu Music ministry, and conferences, all with a vision for nationwide revival training up disciple makers and church planters to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
