Tell us about the work God has called you to
I am the pastor of New Hope Church in Harlem, NY. We are a small multicultural church that seeks to experience and share the hope of Jesus, the hope of community, and the hope of new life with our city.
What is your best ministry moment?
My best ministry moment is when I get to behold Christ being magnified, and experience his love and power, not just despite my weakness, but through it. 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 summarizes all of my best ministry moments.
What are your hopes for Advance?
I hope that through the work of Advance, more South Asians would be inspired and equipped to plant churches all around the world.
What would you say to someone considering ministry?
Pray and ask the Lord to never let his love be commonplace for you, but would always be extraordinary, miraculous, a source of constant wonder. There is no other way to have longevity in ministry unless it is out of the overflow of knowing and experiencing just how much he loves you. This is our first and most important work.
