RENNET PREMNATH

Senior Pastor & President

Born in a Christian home, and grew up as a pastor’s kid, he didn’t have a relationship with his Heavenly Father. But after a dramatic encounter with the glory of God in 2007, he was transformed, and understood the call of God for his life. Though he used to help his home church in the worship team, after this encounter he started going into the villages and street corners of Chennai, India proclaiming the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. He was involved in leading praise & worship concerts, and disciplining young men for God in his local church as well.     He moved to Illinois in 2008 to pursue his graduate degree. While attending a local church he became involved in their choir and men’s ministry, and started a prayer at 5 am for men in his apartment.     In December of 2012 he moved to Madison to start a new job with his newly wedded wife. In March of 2013 God called him to help out with a church plant in Illinois. So, he and Tabitha traveled week after week to Evangel Church in Hanover Park, IL until 2015 when God moved them to live in Illinois for a period, and take over being pastor of the Indian service. In September 2017 God clearly directed them to return to live in Madison, and leave Evangel. In January 2018 God moved them to Madison, gave a vision for this city, and equipped him to start this ministry, Life Is Christ Ministries.

TABITHA PREMNATH

Vice President

Tabitha was also born in a Christian family, and was also a pastor’s kid. She had a deep desire for God from a very young age, and desired to live wholly for Him. In college she got involved with reaching out to other students with the gospel, and investing in high school students at her church. In 2016 she had an encounter with the Holy Spirit that flipped her perception of Christianity. She then understood the importance of the baptism of the Spirit. God dealt with things in her life, and challenged her to live her best life for Him. She serves alongside her husband in the plans God has led them in since 2012, and continues to do so.
