Friends and Family,


Two years ago, God gently but decisively interrupted my life in a way I never expected, yet in a way He had been preparing long before I could see it. With a deep hunger to truly know God, I joined DTS with Fire and Fragrance North India in New Delhi. Those months marked me forever. The Lord met me in a personal and powerful way, healed broken places in my heart, anchored me deeply in my identity as His daughter, and awakened His heart for the nations within me. DTS was not just a program. It was a turning point where God made the direction and purpose of my life unmistakably clear.


A Calling Bigger Than Me


I come from a family where no one before me has stepped into missions. By God’s grace, I am the first missionary in my entire generation. Saying yes to this calling was not easy. It meant stepping into uncertainty, letting go of comfort, and trusting God without having all the answers. But His voice was clear. Once He called me, I knew I could not turn back.


After DTS, the Lord invited me to stay and serve as staff with Fire and Fragrance North India. As I began discipling young people and walking closely with Gen Z, God began shaping something deeper in my heart. What started as a calling for India expanded into a burden for the nations. God has been forming in me a long-term vision to raise disciples who know who they are in Christ and live surrendered lives wherever God sends them.


Looking Ahead: The Next 3–5 Years


As I continue serving, God has been giving me increasing clarity for the years ahead. I sense Him calling me to:

• Continue discipling and raising young leaders who are rooted in intimacy, identity, and obedience

• Equip young people to live as missionaries in their everyday lives, in India and among the nations

• Build strong discipleship foundations that multiply across cultures and borders

• Serve among hard and unreached people groups, especially within Muslim communities


During this season, God placed a specific and persistent burden on my heart for Afghanistan and other unreached Muslim contexts.


How Africa Shaped My Heart


God deeply shaped this calling during my time in Africa, where I lived among Somali people. As I listened to their stories, shared daily life with them, and learned their culture, my heart was deeply moved. I encountered people living under fear and spiritual blindness, yet deeply loved by God.


Through these relationships, I began to feel God’s compassion for Muslim communities in a new way. I sensed His longing for people who have never known Jesus as a loving Father. This season ignited a deep desire in me to see sons and daughters encounter truth, freedom, healing, and identity in Christ.


Vision for Afghanistan


During my DTS, while praying in the prayer room and asking God, “Where do You want to send me? What do You want me to do?”, I was singing a song that said, “Put me anywhere, let Your glory be seen in me.” In that moment, I saw a vision of the map of Afghanistan. I saw many Muslim men and women looking toward me, and from that day on, I began praying regularly and intentionally for Afghanistan.


Later, during my time in Africa, I had a dream. I saw myself in Afghanistan among Muslims . People were passing by, and I noticed a woman wearing a burqa standing at a distance, looking directly into my eyes. I sensed deep pain, sorrow, and silence in her. She felt voiceless, as if she wanted to speak but could not. A week later, the dream continued. This time, she held my hand and tried to communicate without words.


Through these encounters, God did something profound in my heart. He placed a deep love within me for the people of Afghanistan, especially for voiceless women, and a conviction that this nation is part of my future calling. It has now been two years of serving as a missionary in India, and I am prayerfully preparing to pioneer ministry in Afghanistan in the coming years. I am expectant for what God will do. He loves the people of Afghanistan deeply, and He has entrusted that love to me.


I believe God is raising a generation that will not just attend church, but will carry His presence wherever they go.


“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…” — Acts 1:8


Prayer Points


• Deep intimacy with God, humility, and lifelong obedience

• Wisdom, grace, and discernment as I disciple and lead young people

• Open doors among Muslim communities, including Afghan youth and women

• Favor and breakthrough for visas, permits, and legal processes

• Provision for international and regional flight tickets

• Faithful monthly partners and consistent financial provision

• Protection, peace, and spiritual authority in travel and ministry

• Fruit that remains in the lives of the young people and communities I serve


Why Monthly Partnership Matters


I cannot walk this calling alone. I am fully dependent on God and on the partnership of people who believe in what He is doing. To continue in this calling,


I am trusting God to raise $3,000 USD per month in faithful support. This will help cover:


• National and international travel for ministry

• Visa processes and flight tickets

• Housing and living expenses

• Food, phone, and daily ministry costs

• Discipleship gatherings and outreach expenses

• Training and staff fees to equip and send out local believers

• Language learning (Arabic classes) to serve effectively in Muslim contexts


More than finances, I deeply need your prayers, encouragement, and partnership. Thank you for standing with me, believing with me, and walking alongside me as I follow God’s call with faith and obedience.


With gratitude and faith,

Sneha
