Speakers - Pas. Jose Philip

Hey guys! Here's more information about one of our four very notable speakers for the conference 
Pas. Jose Philip


Prof. Jose Philip was born in Kerala and grew up in Chennai, India. He graduated from Loyola College with a Masters in Zoology in 1994. He was the first student from Loyola to be awarded the Tamil Nadu State Science Council Scholarship for his Masters Research Project in Prawn Biology.

Jose has worked as a Prawn Biologist and later for Direct Dialog (an Integrated Marketing Services Company) in India as Vice President (Strategy and Planning), before going to the Middle East to join a software firm in 2001.

In Dubai, Jose discovered nothing satisfied him more than “teaching and preaching the Word” and resigned from his position as Head of Operations in 2005 to pursue his theological studies in Singapore. He became the first student in the history of the Singapore Bible College to have secured two masters simultaneously, completing both his Masters in Divinity in Biblical Studies and Masters in Theology in May 2008.

Jose is currently based in Singapore with his wife, Cinu and their two children Jayden and Yaira. He serves with the Ravi Zacharias International Ministries and as Pastor of Faith Mission Home, a local church in Singapore. He is also an adjunct lecturer at Singapore Bible College, Baptist Theological Seminary and Bible College Malaysia. His teaching and research interests include Apologetics, Theological Hermeneutics and
Interfaith Dialogue. Jose is also the founding director of “Eternus”, a faith-based NGO in Chennai, India, which works towards the sustainable independence of under-privileged children.
