Pastor John Ramesh
Raised in a Christian family in Tamil Nadu and Hyderabad, India, John grew up surrounded by people of diverse faiths and cultures. His friendships and conversations with Hindu and Muslim neighbors nurtured a lifelong passion for sharing the Gospel across cultural and religious boundaries. At the age of 21, John committed his life to Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
Before entering full-time ministry, John enjoyed a 30+-year career in Information Technology, including work with Indian Railways and the development of nationwide railway information systems. He holds degrees in Commerce and Systems Management.
John and his wife, Alice, have served the Lord together for many years and have three children. After moving to the United States in 1997 and settling in Austin in 2005, John followed God's call into ministry, becoming a credentialed and ordained minister. In 2021, John and Alice founded Jeevan Church with a vision to reach the Indian diaspora and people of every background with the love of Jesus Christ.
John's passion remains simple: to build bridges, share the Gospel, and help people discover the hope and eternal life found in Jesus Christ.
