The Abhishekagni Kannada Ministry is started by Rev. Fr.Xavier Khan Vattayil, a well-known Charismatic preacher and Director of Sehion Ministries, Attappadi Kerala, to spread the word of God in Karnataka, so that the message of salvation may reach every nook and corner of Karnataka in their own language.
To fulfill this plan, Rev. Fr. Xavier Khan, has formed Abhishekagni Kannada team and entrusted the responsibility of this ministry to Bro. Dennys George.
Kannada residential retreats started in Attappady Sehion Retreat Center in 2013 was the tiny seed of this movement which grown over a period of years. Later when the number of participants increased, we had to shift the Kannada retreats to Fatima Retreat Center in Mangalore. At the same time Parish priests from several parishes used to calls us to conduct parish retreats in the intervals of monthly residential Kannada retreats .
At present residential retreats are held every month at Chennapatna in Kannada with the co-operation of priests.
We have 43 intercessory prayer groups across Karnataka and at Chennapatna we have an Intercessory Adoration Center. These are the support pillars to our Ministry and Large number of faithful came forward to intercede fervently for the retreats and for the Church at large, sacrificing their time and spending days together in adoration, Holy Rosary and intercessory prayer. We also conduct one day convention at St. Antony’s Church at Kodathi, Bangalore, on the last Sunday of every month for the last 8 years. We conduct our retreats free of charge with the single motive to spread the word of god and hence were able to reach out to the poor of remote villages.
Another initiative taken by our ministry is translation of books written by Rev. Fr. Xavier Khan Vattayil to Kannada. Volunteers distribute these books in hospitals, bus stands and Railway stations. The Lord has touched many through these books.
