Rupinder Kanda
Rupinder Kanda lives in Birmingham and is a member of Beacon Evangelical Church and works in the Health & Safety Department of a leading hospital trust. Coming from a Punjabi (predominately) Sikh family, her journey to faith began with the knowledge that there was something missing in her life and no amount of studying about traditions and religions could fill the gap until she finally encountered Jesus. Her life since then has been one of a journey of a deepening personal relationship with Jesus and living a life which embodies God’s love to all. Her time as a member of Beacon and New Life Mashi Sangat (a Punjabi fellowship group) is spent in supporting women, South Asian women in particular, to become confident disciples of Christ and navigate the many cultural challenges that women face.
