India

Yeven A. was born in a Hindu family of the Dalit caste, which is made up of those who are considered the “untouchables” of India. Yeven explains: “I was born in a Hindu family as a member of the lowest caste in the Indian caste system. My family, which consisted mostly of agriculture laborers, was very idolatrous, and I never had the opportunity to learn about the Gospel from my parents.” After he was converted, the Lord called him to serve in the ministry. Taking courses at a Bible Institute allowed Yeven to gain ministerial training, and he is now the pastor of a church in India. Yeven has been partnering with HeartCry since 2013.
