WELCOME TO OUR FIGC !

Dr. G. R. Lorne born into a Christian family in 1912. Well educated with Bachelors of commerce and Master of Arts and got a good accountant job in Nizam’s, Hyderabad. He was wonderfully saved in 1943 and accepted God’s call to the ministry in 1944. Resined his job and started preaching in the rural villages of Telangana. He used to wal at least 40 miles per day. God has used him mightly throught Andhra Pradesh. After the preaching and without any formal invitation people used to cry, repent and accepted the Lord in thousands. God had used him as a good preacher, as an evangelist, reformer, good writer & church planter.

Even though he had no formal Bible college education but learned at the feet of Jesus and wrote many theological books for the preachers as well as for the Bible students. He fought for the fundamentals of Faith and for the good translation of the Telugu Bible. He received the Call to Glory at the ripe age in 1993.
