Pastor Robert Judah Paul is a triving
street evangelist and revival preacher with a burning passion for the lost.
He is the founder of Street Evangelism Centre, Malaysia. He was taken to
hell for one and a half hours where he witnessed the horror of the destiny
of the soul. Today, the Lord has directed him to build a Church for
the poeple on the streets, called Revival City Street Church. More then
70% of the congregration are people from the streets.
Under the Street Evagelism Centre,
he has opened various "Homes" for the street people in Kuala Lumpur and
also the founder of Street Evagelism Training School, equipping various
street individuals for the furtherance of the Gospel in the Kingdom of
God. He is an Associate Pastor of "Door of Faith" Church, Melbourne Victoria,
Australia and also holds an affiliation with Hephzibah Christian Fellowship,
Singapore.
At the age of five, Pastor Robert Paul
witnessed Lord Jesus healing a Muslim man in one of the hospital wards.
He grew with the word of God along with his family, In his teen years,
he was preaching the word of God in the school grounds. At the age of 17,
he recieved the call of God. He enrolled into a seminary, Later, he left
the seminary and became a church worker in an Assemblies of God Church
and graduated from a Bible School. From the second year onwards he began
to pioneer Churches which grew mightly. But, pride, came in that he backslided
and went into the world. Even though he was doing very well financially
but he had no peace. He used to attendChurch Services for the sake of the
family but his mind was not there. There were times where he had the inclination
to burn down Churches and ridicule Christians. He had resentment and bitterness
in his heart towards every Christian. He led a very sinful life.
One night in the late 80's he was
sitting on his bed, talking to his wife, ridiculing Christiansas he aws
counting money, and as he laid his head backwards, suddenly...he found
himself falling into a pit off thick darkness. Fear gripped his heart as
he was going downwards at a tremendous speed. At that instant he realized
he was in hell (He remembered, he preached about hell many times).
He saw many people groaning in pain. Multitudes of people suffering there
and he was heading towards a ball of fire which was burning below. He screamed
to God for mercies and pleaded, but nothing happened. Then he cried out
to the Lord Jesus and the Lord appeared to him. Pastor Robert Paul pleaded
and said, "give me one more chance and I will serve you with all
my heart and walk the streets and tell everyone that you are the Way, the
Truth, and the Life" and instantly he was brought back. The impact
has left his hair grey and two black patches on his face...as a reminder
that he was in hell for one and a hald hours.
Even though all this took place, he
went back to the world. One year later, his eldest sonwas struckwith a
deadly blood disease and was admitted in the hospital. Every morning he
had to collect his son's urine which had blood in it. This devastated Pastor
Rpbert Paul's heart and he went down on his asking God to heal his son.
He made a commitment to serve God and in that instant he heard an audible
voice of the Lord saying be sanctified and serve me. Just after that the
Lord opened his eyes and he saw the angel of death coming for his four
year old son. Pastor Robert Paul was caught up in the spirit with authority
and strength of the Lord. He rebuked the angel of death, standing face
to face with it. Within eight days his son healded completely. After that,
Pastor Robert Paul went into fasting for three weeks. During this time
satan appearedin a glorious light ona bright afternoon in the compound
of his house as Pastor was sitting at the doorsteps, satan told him, "Serve
me and I will give you anything you want". Pstor Robert Paul rejected
and rebuked satan. Satan condemned him of his past life, Pastor quoted
the word of God and satan fled.
Hence then with many challenges, Pastor
Robert Paul began to walk on the streets saving souls. Then Street Evangelism
Centre came into being with its various ministries started flowing.
