History [ Back to top ]

On September 25, 1963, Kilari Anan Paul (K.A. Paul) was born in a small village (Chittivalsa) in Andhra Pradesh, India. His parents, Barnabas and Santhosamma, were staunch Hindus until they accepted Christ in 1966. Paul received Christ in March 1971, at age eight. He traveled with his evangelist father to hundreds of villages sharing the Gospel with many non-Christians. They faced severe persecution and opposition as his father preached the gospel. At age 19 Paul had a very special encounter with Jesus Christ that led him to enter into the full-time ministry, leaving behind his education and a successful part-time business.

In 1983, K.A. Paul was ordained at his father's church and this is the year that K.A. Paul founded Gospel to the Unreached Millions ministry in India, at the age of 20.

In 1989, Paul came to the United States.

In 1993, Paul created the U.S. nonprofit, Gospel to the Unreached Millions in Duluth, Minnesota.

In 1996, GUM opened its headquarters in Humble, Texas.

In 1999, GUM moved its headquarters to Houston, Texas.
