Born on 24th May 1938, Sis.Stella Dhinakaran
was inspired by the Holy Spirit to serve God and to bring about a revival among
the womenfolk, both in India and abroad.
On 17th August 1959, she got married
to Dr.D.G.S. Dhinakaran and became the backbone of his
ministry. Helping him with patience and vigour, Sis.Stella Dhinakaran also
engaged herself in the divine service of carrying the love and compassion of
Christ to the distressed women in India and abroad.
On 14th February 1963, the Holy
Spirit anointed Sis.Stella Dhinakaran, initiating a mighty revival in her
ministry among women.
Soon Sis.Stella Dhinakaran, who
was a very timid and shy person, began to speak in public meetings like a
lioness for women folk. Women from all parts of the city pour into the ground
where the public meetings are held, to listen to the
message that Sis.Stella Dhinakaran brings from God. The Holy Spirit would
operate the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit from within her. Physical, mental and
emotional healing takes place in the bodies, minds and hearts of people as
Sis.Stella Dhinakaran claims healing from diseases and deliverance from evil
spirit torment. People surrender their lives to Christ with torrents of tears
and sorrow of conviction of their sins.
Sis.Stella Dhinakaran is being
used of God even in the Media Ministry and audio
and video ministry. She has also written books that
has wrought miracles in peoples lives and has transformed the lives of many.
One of her books titled 'Rose Amidst Thorns' won the 'National Award for the
Best Christian Book' published in 1989.
Besides these multi-faceted
service, Sis.Stella Dhinakaran also conducts regular Women's
Conferences in various parts of India and abroad. Several thousands of
women pack the places where these conferences are conducted. It would be a
spectacular scene of revival as she calls the women to a commitment during her
altar call.
Of late, the Lord has been using
Sis.Stella Dhinakaran mightily, bringing a great revival among womenfolk in
India. The Lord gave a vision to her about 'Esther
Prayer Group' in March 1988. She obeyed at once to the Heavenly vision of
gathering together women who would like to wrestle in prayer for a revival
among women. She gave a call through the Jesus Calls magazine, for women with
this burden to surrender themselves as prayer warriors, to contact her in this
regard. Out of those who responded to this Heavenly call, she formed a prayer
group of all such sisters who are residing at Chennai, and started the prayer
group in the month of June, the same Year, setting apart the second Saturday of
every month for the Esther Prayer Group members to wrestle in prayer from 3.00
p.m. to 5.00 p.m. These prayers are particularly focused on the revival among
women and to pray with concern for the prayer points sent regularly by
Sis.Stella Dhinakaran, every month. Now, more than 200
Esther Prayer Groups have been formed all over the globe.
The Lord has showered a great
revival among women in response to the prayers offered in these prayer groups.
Many have tasted miracles.
Besides this, since November
1997, the Lord has enabled her to bring out a bi-monthly magazine exclusively
for women titled 'Priceless Pearl' which is now
being coveted and read by over fifty thousand women in India and abroad.
Thus Sis.Stella Dhinakaran
continues faithfully and vigorously in her ministry in expanding the Kingdom of
God the Kingdom of love and compassion on this earth.
