About My Family
Shirley and I united in marriage on January 31, 2013. Our family includes two precious blessings, Alicia and Ivan. Originally from India, we pursued education and embarked on our careers there, followed by seven years in Saudi Arabia working for a multi-national company.
Our roots in church ministry run deep, influenced by our parents who are pastors. In Saudi Arabia, we actively served the church, passionately engaging in kids and youth ministry. Our journey led us to Canada in 2018, initially settling in Mississauga before eventually making Sarnia our home due to a job opportunity.
Despite the shifts, our hearts were set on continuing the Lord’s work. With the assistance of NAMB, we have initiated our involvement. As a family, we seek God’s guidance, praying for meaningful connections and impactful ministry in our new community.

About My Church Plant
Our family embarked on an exciting journey with the inception of the Kids Home Bible Club in Sarnia at our residence January 28, 2023. The Bible club has become a regular occurrence, taking place every alternate Saturday.
Expanding our outreach, we initiated a small group at Lambton College Sarnia on January 7, 2024. This endeavor aims to connect with college students and new immigrants facing challenges during their initial settlement phase, including struggles with loneliness. We intend to provide a supportive community for those navigating these transitional periods.
As we continue these endeavors, we look forward to fostering meaningful connections, sharing the teachings of the Bible and offering a source of comfort and encouragement to those we encounter.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions living in North America have not been reached with the gospel. But a new church makes change possible in an unreached neighborhood.
Send Network church planters immerse themselves in a community, learning the rhythms and culture as they establish relationships with the lost. A church plant grows out of the evangelism efforts of the planter and his core team.
