Jesus Calls
Jesus Calls is the ministry with the mission “Praying for the World”. Prayer, love and compassion are key components in the Jesus Calls ministry. All the endeavours of Jesus Calls portray these major dynamics. The uniqueness of this global ministry is that Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and his entire family minister together to various people groups without regard to nationality, ethnicity, or socio-economic status.
