God has called me to serve His people through teaching, preaching, and leadership. As academic dean and vice president of the Institute of Pastoral and Theological Training (IPTT) in Nigeria, I have the privilege of equipping pastors and Christian leaders in sound doctrine, faithful hermeneutics, and biblical pastoral ministry.

I was raised in a Hindu family and used to join with my family in idol worship during various festivals in India. God in his providence, ordained circumstances in my life that allowed me to hear about Christ in various settings.

Over the past two years, the Reformed Baptist Seminary has deepened my understanding of Scripture and strengthened my ability to serve the church I love.

I am grateful for God’s providence in guiding me to complete my Master of Historical Theology at Reformed Baptist Seminary. The seminary’s church-based approach ensured my studies were deeply rooted in practical ministry.

When I was three years old, my teacher sent me home from preschool with a note to my parents. It read, “Today, Daniel said, ‘When I grow up, I’m going to be a preacher.’”

By the Lord’s grace, I completed the XL internship in 2024, and my home church graciously brought me on as an Executive Associate Pastor and elder. The training I received at Reformed Baptist Seminary has been especially valuable in preparing me for this role.
