Mark Virkler's picture

Overview from Pastor Vijay Christian: Dinesh heads our children's department, children's camps and children's clubs. Very anointed Sunday school teacher, Bible teacher, rhythm guitarist, vocalist of A2J band and choreographer.


Hi, my name is Dinesh. God has given me grace to work for His kingdom establishment even though I am unworthy and a useless vessel.

My Past Life:

I come from a Hindu back ground and brought up in an idol worshiper’s family with worldly enjoyments but no peace and joy in our family. Even though my parents are government employees, we have gone through many disputes & disturbances. At age 14, God allowed one suffering in my life and that suffering turned my direction towards a true living God “JESUS CHRIST”.

I suffered with a disease called C.M.L (chronic mayo leukemia) that is “BLOOD CANCER”. From that day further sufferings, pain, tears & loneliness played a vital role in my life. At the beginning, I didn’t know about JESUS, only thing I know was “He is Christian's God”. But day by day my tears increased and I fell into depression & disappointment. I used to go roaming in the nights because I couldn’t sleep. Every way I turned it was blocked, my studies, my friends, my relatives everything & every one left me alone. Only one way I can see clearly at that time, it is to “KILL MYSELF” because I completely failed in my life. But at that time I remember my mom’s words and that was to ask Jesus for forgiveness of my sins & allow Him in my heart to help me.  

My mom is a secret believer from when she was a teenager. That word would strike my mind & with great agony I asked Jesus to forgive me & allowed Him to come into my heart to help me. I asked 2 things to Jesus either to heal me & give my life back or to kill me because I couldn’t bear the pain any more. But our God is a God of compassion & love; He gave my life back & healed me completely. Even doctors predict that I am 100% cured. I thank God for my healing by His stripes.

After my healing God has enabled me to pursue 3 yrs diploma in hotel management and worked 1 year as an Asst. Steward in a 4 star hotel. After awhile I came into realization that I should work for God’s kingdom establishment and spoke with my leader Mr. Vijay Christian that I want to spend some time with God by going to a 2 month Bible school.    

My Calling:

I received my calling as a BIBLE TEACHER through 2 Tmy 3:16, 17 & God called me clearly for full time ministry through this verse Mark 5:36, 34 in August 2009. I joined as staff and became in charge of children's department. We conducted many retreats, clubs and vacation Bible schools and kids prison ministry.

We organized 2 major kids’ camp in 2011 for 300 kids & year 2012 for 400 kids. More than 90% of the kids took commitments & saw great transformation in their lives. We have seen the spirit of God coming upon each kid which led them to true repentance. I have seen kids speaking in tongues when Holy Spirit came upon them. I thank God for using me in this camp as a key person. Not only that but I also completed my 3 yrs Bachelors in Arts by His grace. Now I am doing Correspondence in M.A English (Post Graduation).

FUTURE MINISTRY PLANS:

God has laid burden for orphans and for abused kids in my heart. I am praying & planning to keep rescue centers and orphanage homes for each & every kid who are being abused and abandoned through FRIENDS’ MEET CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT.

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 66 Pages

Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

Health Mastery Through MRT

Wouldn't it be great if there were a way for my body to tell me exactly what it needs and desires, without having to take expensive or invasive tests? Wouldn't it be amazing if I could perform these tests as often as I wanted, right in my own home (or anywhere I wanted), with no costly instruments necessary?

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages | $15.99 retail list price

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know?

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this book.

How to Walk by the Spirit

How to Walk by the Spirit

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages | Previous name "Sense Your Spirit"

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.
