“………… by all means save some” 1 Cor 9:22 Progressive Faith Ministries Spiritual Services for Society Salvation Vision of PFM Reaching the Unreached

PFM evolved with the Holy Spirit’s inspiration By Rev Dr.B.V.S.N.Rao &Rev B Shobha Rao in the year 1994 with a pure mission to work for His Kingdom and to save the perishing souls in these Last Days

Salvation Testimony of the Rao family Rev Dr Rao belongs to a traditional Hindu Vysya family but a healing miracle in the life of Rev B Shobha Rao has turned their life towards the salvation Before the healing, Shobha Rao was suffering with ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE, INTESTINAL PERFORATION, and SPINAL LIGIMENTAL INJURY and was bed ridden for 8 long years As all the Medical treatment ‘s failed they went through many Occult, Black Magic and Religious remedies which obviously proved futile But miraculously, Shobha Rao received a divine healing when she attended a Gospel Healing campaign on December 11 th 1988. From then their family stood as the testimony for Christ in their community. Later, on April 24 th 1994 as per Mark 16:15, the couple dedicated their lives for the Lord’s Ministry, which has given birth to PFM.
