I was born and raised in India as a Hindu in a high cast. From my childhood I could not reconcile the concept of many gods and goddesses and the theory of Karma and reincarnation in spite of my religious upbringing. In my search for Truth and the true God, I traveled all over India to many holy places and had personal meetings with the highest Hindu gurus for guidance and answers to my Spiritual quest only to be disappointed and come away empty handed with no answer and no hope of eternal life or Nirvana or Moksha. My active search and prayers led me to many places, temples and gurus. My search for basic questions of life – Where did I come from? Where am I going? What am I doing here? and search for the Truth and One, True God led me to make a promise to God to surrender my life in His service if He showed me the Truth and find One, True God.

I came to the United States to do my post graduate work in Architecture. But the Lord had different plans for my life and answered my childhood prayers. I received Jesus Christ as my personal Lord & Savior.

I am a graduate of Baptist Bible Graduate School of Theology in Springfield, Missouri. I have been a church planter and a Senior pastor in Illinois. In my 27 years of ministry I have also preached revivals, mission conferences and Pastors / Church leaders evangelism training in America, Dubai and India. My passion is soul winning and teaching the Word of God faithfully and uncompromisingly.

I have been serving as a Senior Pastor at Linden Villa Baptist Church since 2000. We regularly see souls receive Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and get baptized. Our vision is to reach Lake County with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and transform our world. We believe that the Word of God has the answers for the challenges we face today and can transform lives. We believe every child of God is entrusted by God with some gift that he or she can use for His glory and the edification of His church. We believe “every saint a minister.” Only disciples, not Christians, can make a difference and make an impact in our culture. If you are looking for a place to be loved, accepted and be a part of God's loving, eternal family and carry out the Great Commission, we'd like to invite you to worship with us.
