About the Author

Rev. Dr. Frederick Osborn travels the world teaching and preaching the Word of God. His first trip to South Asia was in 2001, and since 2005 he has been fully involved in ministry. Currently he volunteers his time on the mission fields of South Asia and around the world as a speaker and lecturer, distributing Bibles and biblical resources to pastors, evangelists and ministry leaders. His books and study guides have been used in classrooms by hundreds of students. In 2013 he earned his M.Div. from Andhra Christian Theological College in Hyderabad, India and in that same year was officially ordained into the ministry in a holy convocation administered by Indian pastors representing AG, CSA, and other independent ministries. In 2017 he completed his D.Min. from Covenant Bible College & Seminary, Florida, USA. He and his wife, Deena Benjamin Lakshmalla, now live near Atlanta, GA where he continues to write, teach, and publish his books and study guides. Several of his books and study guides have been translated into local Indian languages and hundreds of village pastors, ministry leaders, and lay leaders have completed one or more of his courses on "This Gospel of the Kingdom", "Exploring the New Testament", "Legacy of Women in the Bible", "Kingdom Discipleship", and "Disciple to Disciple". In addition to the books and study guides, he has delivered countless seminar teachings and sermons relating to one or more of these subjects. These lessons have been shared and are being shared today with literally thousands of believers in India. He has done all of this free of cost to those who have benefited from these teaching materials. He has been able to distribute thousands of Bibles, Bible study books, and commentaries also free of cost to those in need throughout South Asia. He believes it is his calling to teach the unvarnished truth of the Word of God to those who have little or no opportunity to study God's Word on their own.
