My name is Syam Paul Peteti, and I am from India.

I was born into a Dalit (untouchable) family and grew up in poverty with many struggles. Even though I was raised in a Christian home, I did not have a personal relationship with Jesus. I chose to live my own way until a very painful time in my life. He met me and i had encounter Him personally. That moment changed my life. Since then, I have chosen to follow Jesus with all my heart.

In 2024, I joined a Discipleship Training School (DTS) in Hyderabad, where I began to grow deeper in my relationship with God. After that, I went to Nepal for a Discipleship Bible School (DBS), where I became more close in God’s Word and stronger in my faith.

During my time in Nepal, I met a young boy who was living on the streets, addicted to drugs and alcohol, and had no family. I started spending time with him, caring for him, eating food, spend time with him and showing him God’s love. Slowly, I saw his life change. He came out of addiction, found healing, and even started going to church. This experience touched my heart deeply and confirmed my calling to ministry.

What I’m doing now

I’m now serving as a long-term missionary with Fire & Fragrance India.

Vision

My heart and vision is to see young people in India encounter Jesus, discover their identity in Christ, and become disciples who make disciples.

• To see youth movements grow across India and the nations

• To raise young leaders who carry God’s presence in their daily lives

• To disciple Gen Z into a close and real relationship with God

• To help young people live with purpose, not follow the world

• To equip and send young people to reach others.

I also have a growing vision to see the Gospel reach different parts of India and, eventually, unreached nations and peoples around Asia. 

Partner With Me

I’m building a team of people who will pray, walk with me, and support the ministry financially.

Monthly partnership helps me continue serving in ministry and cover basic needs such as:

• Food and daily living

• Phone and communication

• Local and ministry travels

• Ministry and outreach expenses

More than financial support, I value relationship, prayer, and walking together in what God is doing.

If you feel God may be inviting you to be part of this journey, I would love to connect with you personally and share more about the vision and what partnership could look like.

Pray With Me:

• Deeper relationship with Jesus

• Wisdom and character as I grow in ministry and leadership

• Open doors to reach young people and unreached communities

• God’s provision and faithful prayer & financial partners

• Fruit that continues beyond every gathering and outreach

The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. — Matthew 9:37

If you feel led to pray, support, or walk with me in this journey, you are part of what God is doing.

Together, we can raise a generation on fire for God.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about my journey.
