Dear readers,

At first, I thank God and praise Him for leading me to this wonderful medium of spreading the gospel of Christ. For a long time, beginning from my exclusion by men, I have been seeking the Lord through much prayer and Word for His desire toward me in proclaiming the gospel. From a very young age I was introduced to gospel environment, since both my parents were Christians even before my birth. Though as a youngster I had aspirations toward the gospel, I know it only came into being when those aspirations were molded by true faith in Jesus Christ; this took great amount of time and many times it must be the case if gospel is to be preached according to the will of God. Since the close of my education it took almost a total seven years to freely and individually enter into the service of Christ; this was the appropriate time of God for me. Educated in the United States of America by the provisions God availed for me I obtained my Bachelor’s of Science degree (with Bible as Major) and Master of Arts degree (with emphasis on New Testament) in which also I was awarded a gold medallion in Greek studies at the Freed-Hardeman University (FHU), I never imagined myself after seven years standing on a ground built by faith in Christ. Then, in comparison to this faith I counted my learning as nothing. I learned what not to be, because of my education, and what to be by faith in Christ. After completing my education I returned to India, my country, and worked two years at a Bible school run by my father. (For this one purpose I was sent to the west by him and received education at FHU, which is of church of Christ). I preached Christ with the hope of providing the power of salvation to those who claimed church of Christ, but their indoctrination in the doctrine rejected both admonishing and my plea, an amalgamation to the plea which God already put in existence through another person prior to my coming. Two years later, I found myself separated from the school because of my faith in Christ. Yet, God did not forsake me. Though He had given me a great disciplinarian as father, a woman of faith as mother and a sister who feared God, He Himself became my Father in and for all things.

The road of seven years consisted of many measures: I was cursed, accused unjustly, mistreated, hated, envied and laughed at by those who heard me. I was considered a fool by those near and far and the dear and strangers for my faith and hope in Christ and the keeping of these. I became a rumor and am lied about endlessly. I was considered a waste. I was engulfed by many fears, arguments, persecutions, tears, sorrows, losses, sleepless nights, trials and temptations, but the God of faith did not abandon me. In weaknesses, temptations and sufferings He strengthened me and taught me to look up to Him; numerous times He rescued me from the spiritual forces of darkness. In all these years He also gave me a very few people who loved Christ with an incorruptible love. I am here today because of Jesus Christ who washed me, works in me and continues to cleanse my weaknesses and iniquities through His blood and word. Through His will and grace I have created this “onepurpose.in” that I may fulfill His desire. The Spirit of Christ availed me before and will always avail me to fulfill His one purpose of sending the light to bring many sons to God. It is my hope and belief that Christ will make many Levites (allegorically speaking) to minister for His church, people that are selfless and become the doctrine of Christ and not of men, though there are already present many people and priests. It is my hope that the message proclaimed through this site will bring understanding, peace and harmony in your life leading to the knowledge of Christ and salvation where necessary. I, Nathan Kedarisetti, have planned to update this site on a weekly basis and pray to God for the fulfillment of it. Whether I spread the good news by way of speech or writing I hate to do it for pleasing men or as an excuse for greed, but with the full knowledge that God always examines my heart and as one approved by Him for the gospel.

 

  Sincerely,
  Nathan Kedarisetti
