Shalom everyone! My name is Priyanka Rane, and I am from Karnataka, India.
I’m living with a condition (disability) called Cerebral Palsy, and I am the only Christian in my Hindu family. Despite many challenges, I’ve chosen to follow Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) with all my heart. Now, I’ve been called by GOD to take a bold step of faith—pursuing a Master's degree in Christian education in the USA to grow deeper in the Word and serve God’s purpose for my life. As a true monotheist believer, I believe and acknowledge YHWH is only one true God & he saved us through his son Yeshua The Chosen Messiah (Jesus Christ) our Lord and savior who reconciled humanity with God again. My calling is closely tied to the Old Testament. I notice that many Christians today focus mostly on the Gospels and New Testament letters, often misunderstanding or ignoring the Old Testament. But I believe the whole Bible is true, complete, and connected—the Old and New Testaments are not separate books but one story of God’s promise to His people. To teach this well, I need a strong and faithful understanding of the Torah (the first five books) and the prophetic writings.
Pursuing a Master’s degree in Old Testament studies is very important to me because it is a calling from God to learn more about His Word and share it with others. This degree will help me understand the history and meaning of the Hebrew Scriptures, so I can explain them clearly and show others how the Old Testament connects to the Gospel. It will give me the skills to teach and inspire people, especially those who don’t see the Old Testament’s value. 
But I can’t do this alone. With limited financial resources and no family support for my faith journey, I’m trusting God to provide through kind-hearted people like you. Your support—no matter how small—can help cover my tuition, travel, and living expenses as I prepare to serve in ministry and be a light for others with disabilities and people with different backgrounds. If God leads you to give, know that you’re not just contributing—you’re sowing into a life of purpose, courage, and Kingdom impact. Thank you for standing with me.
