The humble beginning of Calvary Evangelical Fellowship (CEF) started with street preaching, reaching both rural and urban areas. Many were baptized and churches were established in various regions.

For more than five decades, young people were trained as evangelists and missionaries, serving among tribes, slums, and across the nation. Today, many serve as pastors and television preachers, continuing God’s work faithfully.

Numerous books authored by Dr. Jayapaul are rich in biblical truth. The bi-monthly magazine Calvary Premadhara, started in 1985, continues to reach millions, edifying believers spiritually.
