What is Jesus Calls?
Who we are
Prayer, love and compassion are key components in the Jesus Calls ministry. All the endeavors of Jesus Calls portray these major dynamics. The uniqueness of this global ministry is that Dr. Paul Dhinakaran and his entire family minister together with various people groups without regard to nationality, ethnicity, or socio-economic status. As a result, Jesus Calls necessitates a multi-faceted approach to a ministry that extends to men, women, youth, children, families, sick, the poor and needy.
In answer to the cry of millions, as found in Psalm 69:20, “Reproach has broken my heart, And I am full of heaviness; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none,” Jesus Calls provides hope and comfort to broken-hearted people by weeping with those who weep and mourning with those who mourn in accordance to what Jesus has said that if two agree together in his name on earth it’ll be done by his father in heaven. This mission is fulfilled through the Prayer Towers, Prayer Festivals, magazines, broadcast and digital media.

Personal Note from Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
"I do not have the power to heal you. I am just a man. No person can do a miracle. But Jesus can. He honors faith. Place your trust and confidence in Him. Jesus Christ gave His life for you when He died upon the cross. And through His resurrection from the dead, He gives new life and makes miracles available to you and me. You can count upon us to pray with you and for you. Simply ask, then together we will call upon the Lord. He promises to hear and answer all who call upon His Name."
—Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
The Jesus Calls Ministry is, above all, a ministry of prayer. At each Prayer Tower are anointed prayer intercessors who are specially trained and anointed to pray the prayer of faith for you, that Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, will bring forth the miracle you need!
