About My Family
My journey has taken me from business consulting in Mumbai, India, to Dallas, Texas, where I pursued my Th.M. at Dallas Theological Seminary. However, at the University of Dallas campus, where my wife, Pranutha, is pursuing her Ph.D, that God opened my eyes to an astounding mission: 10,000+ international students from 100+ countries! Revelation 7:9’s heavenly picture of “every nation, tribe, and tongue”' worshiping Jesus became my burning vision. Significantly, many are from the 10/40 window nations where the gospel has historically had very limited reach.
We believe God has sovereignly placed us, along with our children Pauline (high school), Abigail (middle school), and newborn Zephaniah, to share Christ’s love, opening spiritual doors that were often closed back home. Dallas is our unique intersection of nations—a divine appointment.

About My Church Plant
These international students, far from home, are incredibly open to connection and spiritual exploration. By God’s grace, our ministry is a vital, welcoming community for them. We demonstrate Christ’s tangible love via consistent practical help—airport pickups, grocery support, furniture, and sharing life and meals. These relational bridges allow me the privilege of sharing Jesus with hundreds, many of whom are hearing the gospel for the very first time. This led to a vibrant weekly Wednesday Bible study.
Additionally, we host nearly 40 students (mostly unbelievers) in our homegroup biweekly for fellowship, food, games, and a gentle, engaging spiritual message. We rejoice as some embrace Jesus! For those who have started believing, we’ve started a Sunday home gathering. Our heart is to see this gathering grow into a thriving church.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
