Grew up in a small town in Munnar, Kerala, he experienced many ups and downs before encountering Jesus during his college years, which led to a transformative journey of faith. After completing his Masters, he felt a strong calling from the Lord to serve Him, leading him to forgo promising job offers and dedicate his life to ministry. He married a woman equally dedicated to serving God, and together they have an older son and a daughter. Their son is pursuing a Masters in Data Science at Duke University, Durham, and in 2023, their daughter married a man who also serves God.

Over the past 30 years in ministry, a significant turning point came after 22 years when he spent a five-year sabbatical seeking God’s guidance. This period led to a renewed vision focusing on making disciples and planting churches. This clarity inspired the founding of the Church Multiplication Initiative (CMI) in 2020, with a mission to make multiplying disciples, churches, leaders, and movements through effective evangelism and discipleship.
