About
A story of grace, calling, and surrender.
Hello, I’m Sattala Vamsi Bhaskar, from Uppumilli, Andhra Pradesh, India. My story is filled with childhood dreams, spiritual struggles, restoration, ministry opportunities, work, loss, and God's faithfulness.
Today I serve as an Assistant Pastor in my father’s church, pursue an M.Div. at Sharon Bible College, and serve churches and ministries through digital media. My prayer is to live fully surrendered to Christ, make disciples, serve His Church, and fulfill His calling.
My Journey
I was born in Uppumilli, Andhra Pradesh, India. From childhood, God placed a desire in my heart to preach His Word. After seasons of spiritual struggle, sickness, and backsliding, I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ and was baptized in 2017. Since then, I have continually seen God's grace, mercy, and faithfulness leading my life.
I studied Electronics and Communication Engineering and Computer Science, worked as a software professional, and later stepped away from my job in 2024 as I sensed God's call toward ministry. Even through financial loss and difficult seasons, God used those experiences to redirect me. Today, I serve churches and Christian organizations through web design, graphic design, video editing, and digital media while pursuing my M.Div. at Sharon Bible College.
I currently serve as an Assistant Pastor in my father's church, minister to children and youth, and help churches through preaching, teaching, discipleship, media, and technology. On May 13, 2026, God also blessed me with the gift of marriage. Through Acts Eight Ministries, my desire is to make Jesus known, make disciples, strengthen the Church, and serve widows, fatherless children, and communities in need.
Looking back, I see God's grace through every season of my life. My prayer is simple: to live fully surrendered to Christ, faithfully teach His Word, serve His Church, and fulfill His calling for His glory.
Work & Ministry
Like the Apostle Paul, I want to work with my hands while faithfully serving the Lord.
Paul supported himself through his work as a tentmaker while continuing to preach the Gospel and serve the Church. In a similar way, I use the skills God has given me in web design, graphic design, video editing, and digital media to earn an income while supporting my ministry and serving churches, pastors, and Christian organizations. For me, my work is not separate from my calling—it is a platform through which I can provide for myself, support ministry, and use my talents for the advancement of God's Kingdom.

Why preaching the Gospel in India matters
India is one of the world's most diverse nations, home to thousands of communities, languages, cultures, and traditions. We believe every person deserves an opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and have the opportunity to respond to Him.
India's 2011 Census recorded 27,819,588 Christians, about 2.3% of the population. The Census is the official population source; because India has not yet published a newer religion census, these remain the latest official religion figures available.
The mission is therefore enormous: reaching people personally, making disciples, strengthening local churches, and taking the message of Christ to communities where Christian witness is limited. Our goal is not simply large meetings, but lasting relationships, discipleship, local-church strengthening, and Gospel witness.
01
2,263 people groups
Some mission research estimates that India has about 2,263 distinct people groups, with approximately 2,033 considered unreached— about 89.8% by that methodology.
02
95.9% in unreached groups
Some mission research estimates that about 95.9% of India's population lives within an unreached people group. This is a ministry research estimate, not an Indian government statistic.
03
27.8 million Christians
The Government of India's 2011 Census counted 27,819,588 Christians, representing approximately 2.3% of India's population.
The challenge
Why preaching the Gospel can be challenging
02
Legal restrictions
Religious-freedom reporting documents state-level anti-conversion laws. The U.S. State Department reported 10 states with such laws in its 2023 report, while USCIRF reported 12 states with anti-conversion laws in 2024.
03
Opposition and misunderstanding
Reports have documented accusations of forced conversion, disruption of worship, arrests, and violence affecting some Christian communities. This makes peaceful, transparent, community-rooted ministry especially important.
Our response
We want to preach Christ with courage, wisdom, love, and integrity.
Acts Eight Ministries seeks to work alongside local churches and believers—not replace them. We want to equip disciples, strengthen pastors, reach young people, serve vulnerable communities, and take the Gospel to places where Christ is less known.
