Mani Dayaljee was born on April 14, 1993, in a village near Rajahmundry. During his teenage years, he came to know the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ through a friend, and at the age of 18, he publicly confessed his faith and was baptized.

     He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Accounts and Finance from IGNOU and is a Semi-Qualified Chartered Accountant (CA Finalist). Professionally, he serves as a Financial Controller, partnering with startup, early-stage, and growth-stage companies.

     Before joining Grace Life Church, Dayal served faithfully as a Sunday School teacher in his hometown. After his marriage to Asha, in the sovereign plan of God, their family was led to Grace Life Church, where he came to a deeper knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ through the expository preaching of Pastor Daniel Surya Avula.

     Through the faithful exposition of God’s Word, Mani Dayal recognized that preaching the whole counsel of God through sound, expository teaching is the true, biblical vision for ministry that glorifies Christ and edifies His church.

     God has graciously blessed Mani Dayal and Asha with two daughters - Rudhira Nibandhana and Prabhu Keerthana.
