Manohar and Jasmine James are the visionaries of this mission. Dr. Manohar James hails from the
state of Andhra Pradesh, South India. As a cross-cultural minister, he travelled throughout
India and saw the nation through the eyes of Jesus in his 15 years of missional and
andraagogical services. Prior to responding to the vision of Redeem India, he worked with Gospel
for Asia as a missionary, staff, Bible teacher in Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and
Andhra Pradesh. He also served as a professor and the Principal of Mission India Theological
Seminary, Nagpur, India, for eight years preparing leaders for Church planting, missions and
philanthropic services. He married Jasmine Sharon from Tamil Nadu, who is a co-laborer of his
vision. After 11 years of marriage, God blessed them with a son they named Jason Abhishek James.
He is two years three months now.
Dr. James obtained B. A. and M. Div. from India and completed a regular academic PhD from USA.
Through suffering, sickness and persecution, the Lord tested and used James in India in various
ways to humble, mold and prepare for the greater task of ?Redeem India Ministries.? This vision
was confirmed and planted firm in his heart in 2009 when his mother from India called him by
phone in the US and requested him to strengthen the rural church and support the poorer sections
of the society in Christ?s love. However, the vision was not clear until when Manohar and and
his wife Jasmine went to India in 2011 for an intentional three-month summer ministry to explore
the plight of rural churches in India by organizing various pastors seminars. In this seminar
many pastors approached and requested James to launch a holistic mission that would strengthen
the local indigenous rural church in Word and deed.
James invites people who are willing to embody Christ?s love in Word and deed to join him
deliver his people from spiritual darkness, ignorance, and poverty through prayer, suggestions
and financial support. You may personally contact him at manoharjames@redeemindia.org.
