In 1978, God spoke to Ernest to
start a new work in the city of Hyderabad, the capital city of the state of Andhra
Pradesh. Here a new center was to be established that would train men and women to reach
out to all states of India. Along with the church and Bible College, a Children home for
the deaf and dumb was founded. Another arm of Manna International, Rock Church
Ministries,
was born. |

In the 1980’s, churches were established in the
states of Madhya Pradesh, Manipur , Karnataka, Maharashtra and the Union Territory of
Andaman Islands. Additional churches were raised up in Tamilnadu, Assam and Mizoram in the
1990’s.
The Lord spoke to the leadership of
the ministry again in 1997, and what was thought to be only a vision for India, was
enlarged. The Lord said that if Manna International would bless those beyond its borders,
then the Lord would bless within its borders. Under the leading of the Lord, Ernest
traveled Bhutan, Combodia and Vietnam. To the Ministry supports to pastors in the Nation
of Vietnam.
