Having lived in Minnesota, Colorado, Michigan, Oklahoma and even South Korea, he has pastored individuals from different backgrounds, ages and cultures. Church Planting has been in his heart since his senior year of college and is now becoming a reality. Pastor Amreitha joins Pradeepan in a passion for the local church in addition to a call to care for the orphan and poor. Growing up in Kansas after being adopted from India, Amreitha gave her heart to Jesus as a little girl. She graduated with a Bachelor's in Child and Family Studies and spent the last five years on the executive leadership team of a non-profit organization caring for orphans and poor communities in Southeast Asia.
