K.P. Yohannan Author Profile

Dr. K.P. Yohannan, founder and international director of Gospel for Asia, has been crisscrossing the globe for the last 40 years, challenging the Body of Christ to discipleship. His call to a radical lifestyle—with an all-out commitment to Jesus—has left its impact on nearly every continent. To the Church caught up by the tidal waves of compromise and self-preservation, Yohannan’s life message is a fresh word to this generation and yet as timeless as the scriptural mandate itself.

Born in India, Dr. Yohannan, at the age of 16, responded to the Lord’s call to serve Him in North India. In 1974, he came to the United States, where he received his theological training and pastored a church for four years.

Stirred for the countless millions in Asia still waiting to learn of Christ’s love for them, Yohannan resigned his pastorate, and he and his wife, Gisela, started what is known today as Gospel for Asia.






The ministry supports thousands of national workers and vibrant congregations throughout South Asia, while Gospel for Asia’s Bridge of Hope program is rescuing tens of thousands of children from the generational curses of poverty and hopelessness.


Ministering hope and practical help to the people of South Asia, Dr. Yohannan’s radio program, Spiritual Journey, reaches more than a billion people in 113 languages. Additionally, his Road to Reality radio program airs weekly on more than 900 radio stations in the United States, UK, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.


Dr. Yohannan is a prolific writer with more than 200 books published in Asia and 11 in the United States.Revolution in World Missions, first written in 1986, has literally changed the course of missions history in our generation. Now in its 42th printing, the book is an international bestseller with nearly 3 million copies in print.
