Dear All, Please meet Livin & Tintu | Called to Serve Christ Together...
Greetings in the matchless name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!
I’m Livin, from Kerala, joyfully serving the Lord together with my beloved wife, Tintu. We are blessed with two precious children—Abelia and Nehemiah—and currently ministering in Palakkad District, Kerala. As a family, we are deeply committed to glorifying God through teaching, preaching, and sharing the life-transforming gospel of Jesus Christ.
My spiritual journey began with a personal encounter with the Word of God, which led to my baptism on 31 December 2009. Although I initially pursued a secular path with a degree in social work and a job in the corporate world, the Lord graciously redirected my life towards His divine calling. Encouraged by my uncle and strengthened by God’s Word, we stepped out in faith, resigned from our jobs in Bangalore, and enrolled in full-time theological studies.
In April 2024, I completed my M.A. in Biblical Studies from the Evangelical Theological Seminary, Asian Christian Academy (Hosur, Tamil Nadu). My wife also completed a two-year programme in Partner in Ministry. We experienced the Lord’s faithfulness through every challenge—especially during our seminary days when we faced financial difficulties—as He graciously provided for our needs through the loving support of His people. Throughout this journey, we clearly witnessed how God was working in our lives, shaping us for His ministry. We truly experienced His mighty hand upon us in every situation, guiding, sustaining, and moulding us according to His perfect will.
We now serve at Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, Palakkad—a congregation that has stood for over 50 years. Though the church recently faced some difficult and unexpected challenges, by God's grace, it is being renewed. We are prayerfully working towards strengthening the church, expanding outreach ministries, and raising up faithful disciples for Christ. We believe that the sound teaching and preaching of the Word of God is essential for lasting transformation in the lives of individuals and communities (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Romans 12:2).
Our vision is threefold:
1. To faithfully proclaim the gospel of salvation and hope in Christ,
2. To support and strengthen local churches with solid biblical teaching and pastoral care,
3. To equip others through theological education, preparing future generations for gospel ministry.
We are sharing this testimony just to share a little about ourselves with you all—so that we may know each other better, pray for one another, and grow together in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). We believe Christian fellowship and mutual encouragement are essential in these last days, and we joyfully welcome your partnership in prayer and in the Word.
“But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ… that I may gain Christ.”
(Philippians 3:7–8)
Please do keep us in your prayers as we continue to walk in obedience to His call. May our great God bless you and use you mightily for His kingdom.
With love and prayers in Christ,
Livin & Tintu
