Overview from Pastor Vijay Christian: Dinesh heads our children's department, children's camps and children's clubs. Very anointed Sunday school teacher, Bible teacher, rhythm guitarist, vocalist of A2J band and choreographer.


Hi, my name is Dinesh. God has given me grace to work for His kingdom establishment even though I am unworthy and a useless vessel.

My Past Life:

I come from a Hindu back ground and brought up in an idol worshiper’s family with worldly enjoyments but no peace and joy in our family. Even though my parents are government employees, we have gone through many disputes & disturbances. At age 14, God allowed one suffering in my life and that suffering turned my direction towards a true living God “JESUS CHRIST”.

I suffered with a disease called C.M.L (chronic mayo leukemia) that is “BLOOD CANCER”. From that day further sufferings, pain, tears & loneliness played a vital role in my life. At the beginning, I didn’t know about JESUS, only thing I know was “He is Christian's God”. But day by day my tears increased and I fell into depression & disappointment. I used to go roaming in the nights because I couldn’t sleep. Every way I turned it was blocked, my studies, my friends, my relatives everything & every one left me alone. Only one way I can see clearly at that time, it is to “KILL MYSELF” because I completely failed in my life. But at that time I remember my mom’s words and that was to ask Jesus for forgiveness of my sins & allow Him in my heart to help me.  

My mom is a secret believer from when she was a teenager. That word would strike my mind & with great agony I asked Jesus to forgive me & allowed Him to come into my heart to help me. I asked 2 things to Jesus either to heal me & give my life back or to kill me because I couldn’t bear the pain any more. But our God is a God of compassion & love; He gave my life back & healed me completely. Even doctors predict that I am 100% cured. I thank God for my healing by His stripes.

After my healing God has enabled me to pursue 3 yrs diploma in hotel management and worked 1 year as an Asst. Steward in a 4 star hotel. After awhile I came into realization that I should work for God’s kingdom establishment and spoke with my leader Mr. Vijay Christian that I want to spend some time with God by going to a 2 month Bible school.    

My Calling:

I received my calling as a BIBLE TEACHER through 2 Tmy 3:16, 17 & God called me clearly for full time ministry through this verse Mark 5:36, 34 in August 2009. I joined as staff and became in charge of children's department. We conducted many retreats, clubs and vacation Bible schools and kids prison ministry.

We organized 2 major kids’ camp in 2011 for 300 kids & year 2012 for 400 kids. More than 90% of the kids took commitments & saw great transformation in their lives. We have seen the spirit of God coming upon each kid which led them to true repentance. I have seen kids speaking in tongues when Holy Spirit came upon them. I thank God for using me in this camp as a key person. Not only that but I also completed my 3 yrs Bachelors in Arts by His grace. Now I am doing Correspondence in M.A English (Post Graduation).

FUTURE MINISTRY PLANS:

God has laid burden for orphans and for abused kids in my heart. I am praying & planning to keep rescue centers and orphanage homes for each & every kid who are being abused and abandoned through FRIENDS’ MEET CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT.
