PAS serves as a church planter in an area of southwest Asia that is hostile to the gospel. He is married and has two children. He says, "I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior in 1980. Before that I belonged to a Hindu tribe. I did my primary education from a local school. In 1983 I got married to a Hindu woman. But I did not have any children till 1997. So the family members said that you have stopped worshipping the goddess. That is why the goddesses have deprived you of children. So I said, the Lord God whom I believe in will provide children Himself. Thus in 1998 God gave me a daughter, and then a son, then a daughter, then a son. Thus God blessed me with two sons and two daughters. I am grateful to God that he used me to testify for His glory. And thus I became stronger in the Lord. My dream is to testify to the glory of Jesus Christ in the Hindu tribes."
