Arpitha: ‘I love the vision Yeshua Ministries has toward the young generation and how they share the love and the grace of God through their songs’.

You may say, ‘Louder than thunder is this crazy drummer; Johnson’. Like most of the other band members, he was also raised up in a Christian family with Godly parents and grandparents who have been a great source of encouragement and influence in his life.

He became passionate about Christ and serving Him was the motivation for every decision in his life.

Ryan has been a part of the Yeshua Ministries and has stayed faithful to his call through every journey this ministry has been through in all these years! He accepted Jesus when he was 16 years old. His turning point was seeing his father, an alcoholic and a chain-smoker, being miraculously set free and transformed under God’s grace and since then, he has always wanted to bring people to the knowledge of that love and mercy through Jesus Christ and to minister to them through worship songs and music. He has been one of the strongest pillars of this ministry and a great encouragement to the younger generation.

Ryan: ‘It’s amazing to see God working in the lives of the people we touch through music and songs’.

He has a beautiful wife and daughter who have been a great support to him throughout his life’s-journey and continue to serve in their local church as a family and be a testimony for many around them.

Kiren is literally one of the most multi-talented guys we know, apart from being an amazing worship leader and vocalist he also plays almost every instrument (bass, guitar, keys and drums) and is an expert with sound. In his daily life he works for Vision Rescue and Gateway Church Mumbai and apart from that pursues is biggest passion, that is music.

Vishal joined Yeshua Ministries kind of by coincidence in 2012. He ended up staying at Cameron’s house after being connected by a mutual friend. He saw a lot of Yeshua merchandise in his room and thought ‘wow, this guy is a big Yeshua fan’. They started jamming together and the connection was made, only later he found out that Cameron is Yeshua’s founder and lead singer and since then he started travelling with the team. His favourite song is ‘Yeshu Naam’.

Vishal: ‘Worship for me is anything that reflects Christ through serving and building relationships. I take worship and music very seriously. It’s a job that God has given me and I love to do it with all my heart and energy.’

Vishal’s interest in music started at age 3, het played guitar, congo and drums before finally landing his favourite instrument: the acoustic guitar. At age 9 he was approached by Doordashan (a local Indian channel) to play in a TV programme but he declined because he was too scared to be on TV. At the age of 14 he started playing professionally with various bands in North-India with band members who were at least 10-15 years older to him in age and experience, he learnt a lot from them and of course from endless hours of practicing.

Vishal uses the following gear: Acoustic guitars: Ephiphone PR5-E, YAMAHA Apx500iii Reverb pedal: TC electronics

Zenas is the youngest member in our team, but that doesn’t change the fact that he is extremely talented. Even when his hands were still too small to reach the strings, he already had a passion to play the guitar. To satisfy his desire to play music, his parents started him on the piano, but he hated it so much that when he was big enough, around 9 years old, he immediately switched to guitars and just never stopped playing. Zenas has won many Jazz Awards over the years and is currently studying jazz at the University of South Carolina. He does play drums and bass as well, but electric guitar is his absolute favourite.
