Guna, India Director

Brother Gunasekaran or “Guna” is the Founder and Director of Calvary Chapel Trust (CCT), Send Hope Now’s ministry partner in India. Guna grew up an orphan and felt it was his calling to spend his life caring for orphans. He founded the ministry in 1989 in partnership with a small church in Idaho and planted a community center of his own in Bangalore.

Guna’s work started in 1993 when he began caring for orphans out of his home that was only built for four people. Then, while at a train station in 2005, he was approached by a dying, HIV-infected mother who asked him to take her newborn daughter. Now almost 20 years later, under Guna’s leadership, we have cared for thousands of sick and vulnerable children. Brother Guna’s leadership over the last 30 years has continually empowered us to support those most in need throughout India.
