About Us

Jesus Family Church has drawn its inspiration from missionaries who sacrificed the comforts of this world and instead placed the burden of the Gospel on their shoulders.

 

OUR VISION

The world needs Jesus Christ. Our vision is to help free people from sin, darkness, and bondage through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We seek to cultivate an atmosphere of love, grace, faith, and fellowship where individuals are empowered to discover and live out their God-given purpose in Christ.

Through this vision, we desire to establish and strengthen churches across Australia and share the hope of Jesus Christ with people from diverse communities.

OUR MISSION 

To develop five branch churches across Australia.

To establish and support churches across Sri Lanka and India.

To support missionaries and evangelists who have limited resources as they work to spread the Gospel. 

Jesus Family Church Australia is committed to sharing the Gospel, strengthening churches, and supporting communities across Australia and beyond.

MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I was born and brought up in a Methodist family in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. My father is a Reverend, and my mother is involved in the ministry with him. I was brought up in a very devoted and spiritual Christian family built on Christian principles. My father and his family were involved in Christian missions and helped people with their needs during the early days. Currently, most of them are pastors all over the world. When I was a teenager, I used to support churches with their ministries, including church, village, and evangelism ministries.

Ever since I was a teenager, I have had a passion for serving the Lord and wanted to do more and more for Him. I faced so many trials and tribulations while spreading the Word of God, but God was always there for me, saving me from many life-threatening situations.

I got married to my beautiful wife, Gail, by the pure will of God in 2003, and we migrated to Australia. Through God’s grace, I was able to attain a manager position in one of the leading banks in Australia. We had two beautiful daughters, and life was good.

Despite the external success, as time passed, I felt that something was missing. I had forgotten the reason God brought me to this country. I went looking for the reason for my emptiness, and that’s when God revealed His purpose and plan for me. It was a purpose for which He brought me to this country: to spread the Word of God, to bring light to those in darkness, and to relieve people living in bondage (Joel 2:18-32).

For 8 years, I worshipped God in an Australian church as a non-active member. In 2014, we, as a family, started our ministry at home with the faith and hope that Jesus would bless my work.

Amidst numerous trials and tribulations, my wife was a great support to me during this difficult period. In 2016, I was ordained as a pastor at Jesus Family Church USA, and registered our church, “Jesus Family Church Australia”, in 2016.

My father, Rev. Wesley Rajadurai, is a pillar of our ministry who has given much spiritual support and advice. The Lord started doing mighty things through me, and now I can finally understand God’s plan for placing me in this country. “He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'” (Mark 16:15)

Our ministry is growing by the grace of our Lord. I humbly request you to pray for our ministry and all persecuted Christian brothers and sisters suffering around the world. I hope this testimony of mine helps encourage your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

In Christ,

Pastor Edward Wesley
