Niranjini Lesley
While working in Bangalore, Niranjini began to overhear some of her co-workers talk about what God had taught them from the Bible. They would then meet to study the Bible at lunch time and pray together. Niranjini asked them about this "new practice" that she had never seen in her life. They invited her to join their Bible study and through this group of friends, Niranjini came to know and trust Jesus Christ.
In 2018, Mobile Christian Network saw the largest subscriber in-take for the English broadcast. More than 500 new subscribers were coming to us for the broadcast, every month. Niranjini stepped in and began assisting with data management before taking over as the English broadcast manager.
