Our story
A legacy rooted in faith and service.
Vikasitha Ministries was shaped by a call to serve vulnerable people in India with compassion, truth, and long-term faithfulness.
Our conviction
Hope that can be seen and felt.
Spiritual hope and practical care are part of the same calling.

The founders
Steeven and Surekha Veerapaneni
Steeven Veerapaneni was raised in Andhra Pradesh in a family whose faith journey came with genuine sacrifice. After a defining call to service in 1974, he entered ministry training and later married Surekha, who shared that commitment to serving others.
Their years of teaching, leadership development, and community service became the foundation for Vikasitha Ministries. What began as a shared calling grew into sustained care for children, widows, women, students, and local leaders.
