My dad was from a Muslim background and my mom, from a Hindu religion. They both got gloriously saved at an early age and were married. My parents trained me up in the fear of the Lord and I continued to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus on a daily basis.

When I was thirteen years old, I fully surrendered my life to the Lord. A woman Evangelist named Beatrice Stansky from Alabama came to Trinidad in 1981 and preached a Revival and one night, she publicly prophesied over my life and said, Young man ,the Lord has called you to be an Evangelist and you shall preach in your country, the Caribbean and other parts of the world. That night, I gladly received the Word of God and accepted Jesus into my heart and was transformed for eternity. I was also powerfully filled with the Holy Ghost.

From that said year, I began to publicly proclaim the Lordship of Jesus at my church, school, and everywhere God opened the door. I was actively involved in almost every department of the church and as I humbled myself before the Lord, He granted me many leadership responsibilities like Sunday School Director, Musician, Worship Director, Deacon, and several other areas.

Then in 1987, I was married to my beautiful wife, Kathy and the Lord blessed us with four lovely children, Joshua, Abigail, John and Gabrielle. After a year of marriage, I began to study for a Ministerial Diploma. After three years of intense studies, I successfully completed the courses and received a Ministerial Diploma in Christian Education. I furthered my studies for another year and received a Certificate of Practical Ministries. God also blessed me to receive an Honorary Doctorate of Theology from a Biblical Seminary in Alabama, U.S.A. To God be the Glory for all He has done. I pastored for nine years, preached on National Radio, was Assistant Director of an Orphanage, and evangelized across our nation.

In 1998, the Lord blest me with a Visa to visit the United States of America to be a missionary to your country. He opened many doors in several States for me to preach a message of hope, restoration and revival. In July 2005, God opened a great door for my family to reside in America for two years so that we could minister at many more churches during this period, and the Lord has graciously helped us.

We will be returning to our country on 2nd July, 07 to plant a new Church and complete a Missionary Quarters. We request your prayer and support in any way to fulfill this mission.

May God cause the fires of Revival to continue to spread across your country before He comes.

Yours in The Master’s Service,
Rev. Joel Christopher Ali
Missionary/Evangelist
