Music is one of my greatest passions. I love Western and Karnatic music. Unfortunately, I don't play any instruments, but I enjoy singing. God is creative. He orchestrates the events of people's lives so that they come into contact with His grace and open their hearts to Him.
My entire life, I had never entered a church or been exposed to Christianity. Even after my wife accepted Christ, I forbade her from sharing her religious beliefs with me, so it was unusual for this name to pop into my head.
I won’t say that my life is perfect, or that I understand everything about God and the Bible. I just know what I was, what I am, and what I am becoming. And that I owe all of that to a God who loves me and has the power to save me from myself, and make me into His image, His son. That is why I am Christian.

“I was like a drowning man, clutching at every straw. It was then, one fine morning at 7.00 am that my sister-in-law along with some friends descended on my home and she said: “We have come to pray for you; there is witchcraft done on you!” They offered to pray for me though I was least inclined and had difficulty concealing my hatred.
God continued to bless the work of my hands in the secular arena as well. After decades of working for an international airline company, He elevated me to take on a prestigious position as the Station Head at Bangalore International Airport and gave me numerous opportunities to extend the love of Jesus to the broken hearted. As God birthed a greater fervour for His ministry, I responded to His full-time call and stepped out in faith, dedicating my life completely into His mighty hands.
You may find it odd that I ended up in a former Soviet republic from South India. But the story of how I got here is a testament to God’s bountiful grace and His communication of purpose for me. When I completed my school finals in 2002, I wanted to attend a medical college in India so that I could fulfil my childhood dream of becoming a medical missionary. I applied for admission to several medical colleges in India but the intense competition for seats rendered all my attempts unsuccessful.
