A Brief History
The vision for South Asian Connection and South Asian Global Convention began in prayer.

In July of 2001, God laid a vision in the hearts of various leaders of the South Asian Diaspora for a new and relevant work aimed at the present and next generation of young South Asians.

With this goal in mind, a core group was formed of South Asian ministry leaders and advisory council members from different countries and denominations. These individuals joined their hearts in fervent prayer for God's wisdom and creativity to turn this vision into a reality. And so was born South Asian Connection and the first South Asian Global Convention 2004.

The name South Asian Connection was given by the Lord to Surjinder Kaur Bains in 2001 during a season of prayer and fasting at the basement of Delta Church in Surrey, BC Canada.

Surjinder, preferring to be called Sanju is married to Bill Balwinder Singh Sohal. Sanju and her husband run a successful child-care centre called One Two Buckle My Shoe in Cloverdale, BC.

Thank you Sanju for the name South Asian Connection - way way before connection became a buzz word in telecommunications!
