From Catholicism, To Occult, To freedom in Christ

Jeejo Pallayi hailed from a devout Catholic household in India. Facing the tragic loss of his father at 18, he stepped up to support his mother and siblings. By 20, in 1998, he encountered a group that identified as missionaries. This introduction sparked his curiosity about the Bible and foundational Christian beliefs. However, within three years, he decided to diverge from the Catholic Church, embarking on a personal spiritual journey.

In 2006, Jeejo relocated to the USA and reconnected with the same missionary group, even sharing a residence with them in the New York City vicinity. During this period, influenced by Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ," Jeejo unearthed unsettling truths. He began to discern discrepancies, misinformation, and elements that preyed on human vulnerabilities within their teachings. The shocking realization dawned upon him: he had inadvertently become enmeshed in a cult.

By 2008, with invaluable assistance from his friend Bill, Jeejo extricated himself from the cult's grasp, marking a life-altering turning point. An avid interest in apologetics took root, driving him to delve deeply into God's word and explore writings by leading apologists. By 2010, Jeejo's life had taken another beautiful turn: marriage. Today, he enjoys a fulfilling life in Oklahoma with his wife and two children, simultaneously spearheading a burgeoning biotech startup and nurturing plans for ministry.
