When her mother, Saramma Abraham, had an encounter with Jesus Christ through the Word of God in the 1950s, she became a born-again Christian. This encounter helped Mrs. Annamma John receive salvation as she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior, was water baptized, and filled with the Holy Spirit. She stood for the purity of the Word of God and brought her children up in a godly manner. She shared the Good News of Jesus Christ to everyone she met and walked steadfastly in her faith until her death.

After immigrating to the USA, she continued worshiping God in truth and spirit wherever she was.
