Anjlo Ajmals
We welcome Anjlo Ajmals, a ThM student at Vanderbilt Divinity School, to teach the Covenant Class in Fellowship Hall this morning. Anjlo is under the care of First Presbyterian Church, Santa Monica, CA, has already completed his Master of Divinity at Claremont School of Theology, and is in the process of moving toward ordination in the PC(U.S.A.). A refugee from Pakistan, Anjlo fled to Paris in 2010 after suffering persecution in his home country and founded the Punjabi Church in Paris while working with the American Church in Paris. He ministered for almost six years to Christians from India and Pakistan living in Paris suburbs. The work ignited his passion for theological training and he sees his call to minister to those from the persecuted church in Pakistan, persons with disabilities (as an embodiment of post-polio syndromes), refugees and immigrants. He is married to Lubna and they have an eight-year-old daughter, Mojza (whose name means “miracle”). While they are at VDS First Presbyterian Nashville provides housing for the Ajmals on their campus.
