For the past 21 years, Potana and Rita have been teaching God’s word to university students in India. Their eleven years (2000-2011) as a full time staff for the Union of Evangelical Students of India (UESI) opened opportunities for them to impact college and university students in both South and North India. At present, Potana is conducting research for Ph.D. with the University of Mysore through the South Asia Institute of Advanced Christian Studies (SAIACS), Bangalore. He is not only an academician but he is a man on the mission field who is down to earth. Along with his research & publications, he travels as an itinerant preacher focusing on reaching Hindus in India. During this academic year (2015-16) he spends much of his time in the library to finish his PhD dissertation writing work.
