Ankit Sajwan
Pastor Ankit Sajwan had a life-changing encounter with Jesus at the age of 19, when he was healed from sickness.
Raised in a Hindu family, this miracle led him into a life fully surrendered to God. Since then, he has preached the gospel with passion and a deep love for the Father. Through his teaching, he desires to raise up a generation who live as God’s beloved children – rooted in their identity, filled with His love, and led by His presence.

His teaching carries a clear message of the cross – with a focus on reconciliation, restoration, and living a life that mirrors Jesus’ love for the world.
