Our story

Our Story:

Many people ask us the same question:
“How in the world did you two meet?”

Honestly… we laugh every time we hear it.

Because from a natural perspective, our story seems almost impossible.

But when God writes a story, He often brings together people from completely different worlds for a purpose far greater than they could imagine.

And that’s exactly what He did with us.

Blesson’s Story

Blesson grew up in a ministry family in South India.

From a young age, he watched his parents faithfully serve God while facing poverty, opposition, and many hardships. Seeing their struggles made him decide something very early in life:

He did not want to become a pastor.

Even though he loved the Lord, his dream was different.

He wanted to build a career that would help support his parents financially.
So he went to college with that goal in mind.

But during those years, God kept tugging at his heart.

After graduating, Blesson finally surrendered to the call God had been placing on his life—to preach the Gospel and reach the people of India.

In 2009, God opened an unexpected door for him to attend Bible College in the United States.

There, he studied theology and continued to grow in his calling to preach the Gospel, disciple believers, and help plant churches across India.

Today, he serves as a pastor, worship leader, and evangelist, working alongside his wife and ministry team to reach villages and train new leaders.

Kristina’s Story
Kristina grew up in a Christian Mennonite family in rural Missouri.

Her life changed deeply when she lost her father as a teenager. Walking through that loss softened her heart toward God and gave her a deep compassion for people who are hurting, broken, or rejected.

Watching her mother navigate life as a widow strengthened her faith and showed her that God truly cares for the fatherless and the widow.

Her first mission trip to Haiti changed everything.

While serving with orphaned children, something awakened in her heart. She knew missions would be part of her future.

Because of that calling, she went to nursing school so she could bring practical help and medical care to people during mission trips.

Over the years, God continued drawing her closer to Him and preparing her heart for something far bigger than she expected.

When Our Worlds Met.

In 2010, both of us attended Bible College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Blesson had arrived a year earlier.

At first, we were simply friends. But Kristina was deeply challenged by Blesson’s simple and unwavering faith in God. He believed God could do the impossible—and that kind of faith was contagious.

After graduating, Blesson returned to India to continue serving in ministry.
Even though we were now living in different countries, our friendship continued to grow. Over time, we realized God might be writing a much bigger story.

But we also knew the challenges were real.

Different cultures.
Different continents.
Different lifestyles.

So we placed the relationship in God’s hands.

For an entire year, we prayed, wrote emails, and sought the Lord for His direction.

Eventually, Kristina traveled to India to experience the culture and ministry firsthand.
It became clear that God truly was leading us together.

A Year of Waiting.
After receiving confirmation from the Lord—and after Blesson asked Kristina’s mother for permission—we became engaged in September 2013.

But our journey wasn’t simple.

Because of visa paperwork and immigration processes, we didn’t see each other for an entire year.
Then on Christmas Day 2014, the paperwork was finally approved.

A New Life Begins

We were married in Louisiana on March 7, 2015.

Just a few days after our wedding, we began our life together in India.

Since then, we have been serving together in ministry—preaching the Gospel, discipling believers, and reaching people who have never heard about Jesus.

Kristina now helps oversee ministry operations, supports outreach efforts, and continues learning the Tamil language while serving alongside Blesson.

Together, our heart is simple:

To see the people of India encounter the love and power of Jesus Christ.

Our Mission: God has brought us together from two completely different cultures for one purpose:

To reach people with the Gospel and help them discover their identity and hope in Christ.

Every day we see lives transformed, families restored, and communities touched by the love of God.
And we are grateful to be part of what God is doing.

A Little Fun Fact:

When we are not in ministry work:

• We enjoy spending time with our church family
• Playing cricket with other churches
• Traveling to hill stations in the mountains
• Cooking and trying new Indian and American recipes

Life and ministry in India is an adventure—and we wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Thank You for Being Part of the Journey

Whether you are praying for us, supporting the ministry, or simply reading our story, we are grateful.

God is doing incredible things, and we are honored to be part of His mission in India.
