// About US

Know More About Me

I come from the beautiful coastal city of Visakhapatnam, South India. Born in a Christian family, but did not have the born-again experience. While studying in high school, life seemed meaningless and I was desperately searching for meaning and purpose. Finally, I gave my life to Christ at the age of thirteen while seated in a Bible study group in a Christian residential childrens home.

I completed my Bible school and entered into full-time ministry at the age of seventeen. Since I entered into full time ministry, God has used me to pioneer several ministries in India. I was involved in pioneering churches in the North and Northeast of India. I helped pioneer Bible Schools in the North East of India, and also started primary schools for village kids so they could be educated.

Presently I am serving as the Assistant Pastor of South Asian International Fellowship, Singapore. I’m married to Neelam and have two children, Joseph (6 years old) and Joanna (2 years old).

MY LIFE JOUERNEY

Bible Training & Begining of Ministry-(2003-2006)

Right after receiving the call of God on my life, I went to the Bible College and completed my Bachelor of theology from Church On The Rock Theological Seminary (Visakhapatnam). Soon after my B.th, I began pastoring an English and Telugu-speaking church for a year in 2006 with NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF INDIA (Same Bible College).

Since, I was saved while studying in a Christian school and I knew that many kids can be saved. So in the year 2006, while I was still pastoring the church in the city of Vizag, God sent me to a village in Andhra Pradesh to start an educational center for the kids in the village, where they had no primary school. By God’s grace along with 3 of my team members, we began a school named, Grace Vision School. It was pioneered in an interior village, for unprivileged children so they can have formal education which exists till today. I have raised a leader and passed it on to them.

Missionary Work in the North East India (2007-2011)

Later in January 2007, God put in my heart and opened the door to go to the northeast of India, to a city named Guwahati in the state of Assam. I began pioneering a multi-lingual church, which we called, Jesus Christ Prayer House. I worked there till July 2011, when the Lord called me to work with Youth with a Mission.

While in the northeast, I was also involved in pioneering a Bible School, named Bethel Bible School. I acted as the Principal and Dean of Academics for a year in 2009-10. I had the unique privilege to preach at different Army camps during special occasions such as Easter, Good Friday, and Christmas seasons during the five years I have stayed.

Training & Pioneering Work with Youth With A Mission , India (2011-2015)

In 2011 I joined YWAM. I did several short-term schools with YWAM and also served on staff for 4 years. After completing all my trainings, I and our team ventured to the city of Vizag to establish a base. During my time here, I have been on the Leadership team and involved with different churches, schools, and slums in Vizag. We led several discipleship trainings for young people and mentored many of them personally. I worked here till 2014 and continued to work in Vizag for another year.

Missionary Work @ North & Central India. (2015-2022)

In 2015, I got married to my wife Neelam, and we moved to Chhattisgarh, a state in central India, to serve as missionaries. For the last 6 years, we have labored tirelessly. We worked with 3 schools with 600+ kids and also extensively engaged in equipping local missionaries and doing church planting in different villages. Working as a missionary in North India isn’t easy. Despite the harsh conditions and rampant persecution all around us, I and my wife have devoted ourselves to the kingdom’s expansion.
