Krish Kandiah

Krish Kandiah became a Christian when he was at comprehensive school in Brighton. ‘A friend of mine stood up in the registration period and explained that he had just become a friend of God and if we wanted to find out more we should go and talk to him,’ he recalls. ‘It was the bravest thing I had ever seen and he explained the gospel to me.’ Krish and his family now happily belong to Cornerstone Church in Thame, a café-style Baptist church with a mixed congregation that has been running about four years. There he is part of the leadership team looking to support, encourage and work alongside the church’s energetic young pastor Paddy Harris. Krish is also one of the directors of the Evangelical Alliance, with a special remit for mission. The key initiatives he is working on are: Confidence in the Gospel, Home for Good and Threads. These reflect his interests: he is very passionate about fostering and adoption, as well as being a keen blogger and a book addict. He also enjoys cycling and is, at the time of writing, a ‘dispirited’ Liverpool FC supporter.
