Echoes of SAGC 2007, London, UK
“My being at SAGC was not entirely by accident. I believe it is God-incident. SAGC has definitely been a landmark in my spirtual journey (I really mean what every word I say). I am not saying this to sound nice. Few conferences change the way you think and envision a future. SAGC has definitely changed the way I think about missions and how I envision to fulfill God's calling to engage in cultural apologetics. I now think GLOCAL and that's a huge thrust forward. SAGC has made me re-vision my ministry and the SAGC experience has definitely re-energized me for the future. Thanks SAGC, you never know what you have done.”
- Sam Thambusamy. Creative Head - Wisdomtree, Chennai, India
“SAGC 2007 London was a momentous event. The speakers sparked a powerful vision on having a global impact when Christians work together. Meeting kingdom-minded believers from around the world and hearing the testimonies of God's faithfulness in lives of fellow South Asian Christians was riveting. I'll never forget this event for the rest of my life.”
- Wilson Mathews. Youth Leader, Vancouver, Canada
"SAGC 2007 was an eye opening experience for me. I was convinced by the end of the convention that God is calling each one of us to be in mission, no matter where you are and what you do. I met some of the boldest people that took a stand for Jesus and I could definitely feel the presence of God. It's amazing to see what He's doing around the world!"
- Sarika Tharakan. Human Resources, Portland, Oregon USA
“The best part of SAGC 2007 was to find out during the video presentations, interview sessions and speaker’s messages what South Asian Christians were doing to accomplish the Great Commission and Great Commandment of our Lord Jesus Christ. SAGC 2007 highlighted the need for evangelism and discipleship among the South Asian diaspora as this has grown exponentially in all parts of the world.”
- Dr. Balbir Kaur Chaal, Molecular Biologist, Scotland
“The SAGC conference was an exciting time for me to meet and network with Christian South Asians and those who have a heart for ministry to South Asians in their community. It was truly inspiring to meet many young people from all over the world with the same goal to reach out to those originating from the South Asian diaspora. During the conference, the Lord spoke to me to work with the youth and young adults in our church and community and encouraged me to move in that direction of ministry. Once I reached home, we organized some outreach meetings and so far we've had two successful meetings, with several future meetings planned!”
- Cherry Sheena. Homemaker, Surrey, Canada
“There were some really neat opportunities to network with other delegates working with South Asians around the world. Along with the diversity of worship, the gathering was truly an awesome opportunity to share resources, and importantly to pray for various ministries. I was particularly impressed by the contributions made towards research and publications in South Asian ministries in Europe, Asia and America.”
- Hash Gudka, Student Services Coordinator and Lecturer, Nairobi International School of Theology, Nairobi, Kenya
“I thank God for giving me the privilege to attend SAGC 2007 against all odds of finances, UK entry visa, work and responsibilities of ministry. I learned a lot about global team work, unity in the spirit, godly humility, love and concern for each other and the importance of upholding each other in prayer. The ties of friendships and commonality of ministry focus has caused me to commit to pray for and to connect with SAGC in the present move of God in our generation towards the South Asian people.”
- Krupa Emmanuel, Church Planter/ Social Worker Director, Mumbai, India
“Every single seminar benefited myself and my ministry tremendously. I’ve gained direction and vision for my service to God through practical guidance and a touch from the Holy Spirit. It was inspiring to meet awesome genuine people of God. I am spiritually blessed and revived to do more for His Kingdom.”
- India
I would like to do short-term mission work and be involved in marketplace ministry. The speakers and resources made available in this area was awesome. So much is being done in different ways by different individuals and organizations. We should pull our resources together for the Kingdom and network locally and globally. I have finally felt that I have a direction to go into. I have full of zeal and passion to do missions.
– United Kingdom
“The plenary sessions and workshops were really inspiring. Great for networking and meeting new people! I also learnt a lot from the seminars. I was especially touched by the presentations about South Asians in Europe and the real need of the hour.”
- Singapore
“Informal times of fellowship and exchange of stories was excellent. Networking with like-minded South Asians believers globally has brought me to a new level in my Christian life and ministry. I learned about the global presence of South Asians and what they are doing to impact society. I need to pray more to see exactly how God wants to use me. This convention has really inspired me to be radical and cutting-edge for Jesus, and not just carry on church as usual.”
– Nepal
“SAGC 2007 - the whole thing was 100% first class.”
- Tom Ward, International Sindhi Partnership, United Kingdom
“I believe it is kairos time for young South Asian Christian leaders of the Diaspora to intentionally take their place in God’s mission. It is our sincere prayer that each of you will leave SAGC 2007 spiritually refreshed, your vision focused and your network expanded to be a difference-making pebble in the Lord’s mighty hand.”
- Rev. Dr. TV Thomas, Advisor, SAGC 2007 and Co-Chair International Network of South Asian Diaspora Leaders (INSADL)
