In 1975 with his wife Rosemary, Sookhdeo founded "In Contact Ministries", now called Servants Fellowship International,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityWithPartB.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=280859&SubsidiaryNumber=0 |title=Servants Fellowship International, Charity Number 280859 |access-date=3 August 2011 |archive-date=18 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090218165426/http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/ShowCharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityWithPartB.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=280859&SubsidiaryNumber=0 |url-status=dead }}</ref> promoting [[evangelism]] and compassionate ministries in [[multi-cultural]] urban contexts in the UK.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.grosvenorchurch.org/news/diary_rotas.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210211014229/http://www.grosvenorchurch.org/news/diary_rotas.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=11 February 2021 |publisher=Grosvenor Church Headquarters Quarterly |title=Persecuted Church |date=October–November 2008 }}</ref><ref name="Thirty">{{Cite news|url=http://www.greenbelt.org.uk/system/downloads/Thirty-book-composite.pdf |publisher=Greenbelt Festivals |title=Thirty |year=2003 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101226152523/http://www.greenbelt.org.uk/system/downloads/Thirty-book-composite.pdf |archive-date=26 December 2010 }}</ref> During this period, Sookhdeo was also one of the organisers of the early [[Greenbelt Festival|Greenbelt]] Christian arts festivals.<ref name="Thirty"/>

In 1989, Sookhdeo created the London-based [[Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity]], and this saw the creation of a global database on extremist movements and ideologies whose followers were persecuting religious minorities across the Muslim world.<ref name="age"/> By 1991, Sookhdeo was predicting that an "Islamic storm" was on the horizon.<ref name="age"/> He was the International Director of the [[Barnabas Fund]], a charity that supports persecuted Christian minorities around the world.<ref>{{cite news |first=Jonathan |last=Petre |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1479301/Charles-fights-death-penalty-for-converts.html |title=Charles fights death penalty for converts |date=18 December 2004 |newspaper=Daily Telegraph }}</ref>

==Sexual assault conviction==
On 10 March 2014, ''[[The Independent]]'' newspaper reported that Sookhdeo had been arrested on suspicion of [[sexual assault]] against a woman. He denied the charges.<ref>{{cite news| last1=Owen| first1=Joseph| last2=Milmo| first2=Cahal| title=Exclusive: Controversial pastor arrested on suspicion of sexual assault| url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/exclusive-controversial-pastor-arrested-on-suspicion-of-sexual-assault-9208845.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220525/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/exclusive-controversial-pastor-arrested-on-suspicion-of-sexual-assault-9208845.html |archive-date=25 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live| access-date=26 October 2014| newspaper=The Independent| date=21 March 2014}}</ref> On 18 May 2014, Sookhdeo was formally charged by British police with sexual assault on a woman. He was released on police bail to appear at the Swindon Magistrates' Court later in the month.<ref>{{cite news| last1=Owen| first1=Jonathan| title=Head of Christian charity Patrick Sookhdeo faces sex assault charge| url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/head-of-christian-charity-patrick-sookhdeo-faces-sex-assault-charge-9393038.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220525/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/head-of-christian-charity-patrick-sookhdeo-faces-sex-assault-charge-9393038.html |archive-date=25 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live| access-date=26 October 2014| newspaper=The Independent| date=18 May 2014}}</ref> Following his arrest and indictment, Barnabas UK launched an internal investigation and temporarily suspended him from his duties. In June 2014, Sookhdeo was reinstated after the board decided that there was insufficient evidence of sexual assault. Later, it was alleged that Sookhdeo had used "intimidating and manipulative" language against two prosecution witnesses.<ref name="WDL 17 Feb 2015">{{cite news| title=Christian charity boss Patrick Sookhdeo denies groping women| url=http://www.westerndailypress.co.uk/Christian-charity-boss-Patrick-Sookhdeo-denies/story-26037169-detail/story.html| work=Western Daily Press| date=17 February 2015| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://archive.today/20150223011223/http://www.westerndailypress.co.uk/Christian-charity-boss-Patrick-Sookhdeo-denies/story-26037169-detail/story.html| archive-date=23 February 2015| df=dmy-all}}</ref>

On 23 February 2015, Sookhdeo was found guilty by a majority 10-2 verdict of the jury at [[Swindon Crown Court]] on the charge of sexual assault and unanimously on the two further charges of intimidating witnesses. He was ordered to serve a three-month community sentence, and ordered to pay £3500 prosecution costs and a £60 victim surcharge.<ref>{{cite news| title=Barnabas founder Patrick Sookdheo guilty of sexual assault| url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-wiltshire-31495969| access-date=5 March 2015| agency=BBC News| date=23 February 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| last1=James| first1=Sam Burne| title=Patrick Sookhdeo of Barnabas Aid International found guilty of sexual assault| url=http://www.thirdsector.co.uk/patrick-sookhdeo-barnabas-aid-international-found-guilty-sexual-assault/management/article/1335175| website=Third Sector| access-date=5 March 2015}}</ref><ref name=BF /> However, he was subsequently reinstated to his positions as a trustee of Barnabas Aid International and as the International Director and CEO of the Barnabas Fund.<ref name="CT 11 Aug 2015">{{cite news| last1=Woods| first1=Mark| title=Patrick Sookhdeo: Why the Barnabas Fund's founder should keep silence| url=http://www.christiantoday.com/article/patrick.sookhdeo.why.the.barnabas.funds.founder.should.keep.silence/56964.htm| access-date=13 April 2016| work=[[Christian Today]]| date=11 August 2015}}</ref> Sookhdeo’s conviction drew mixed responses from within the British Christian community and media. By contrast, the [[Orthodox Anglican Communion|Orthodox Anglican]] website Virtueonline's managing editor David Virtue criticized the legal process as a travesty, asserted Sookhdeo's innocence, and cited concerns about the complainant's behaviour and inconsistencies in her testimony.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Virtue |first1=David |title=Dr Patrick Sookhdeo: The Story behind the Story, the Trial, Guilty Verdict, and Public Vilification |url=http://www.virtueonline.org/dr-patrick-sookhdeo-story-behind-story-trial-guilty-verdict-and-public-vilification |access-date=13 April 2016 |publisher=Virtueonline |date=8 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160516192519/http://www.virtueonline.org/dr-patrick-sookhdeo-story-behind-story-trial-guilty-verdict-and-public-vilification |archive-date=16 May 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
