About Speaker

Sai Krishna (Joshua) Gomatam, MCA, MDIV

Pastor Sai Krishna (Joshua) was born and raised in a Hindu family. At age sixteen, an existential crisis – sparked by a quote from Blaise Pascal – drew him toward Christianity. Since then, he has been a passionate witness to the Christian faith.

He pursued theological studies at Denver Seminary, where he also served as an Associate Pastor. He later taught at Hyderabad Institute of Theology and Apologetics. Ps. Joshua is actively involved in equipping pastors and church leaders in India through the Right Theology Forum and has ministered widely among Indian diaspora communities across the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Africa.

He holds a BS in Computer Science and a Master of Computer Applications from India, along with an Master of Divinity in Biblical Studies from Denver Seminary. He is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Old Testament, focusing on Ancient Near Eastern languages and archaeology, with research centered on purity and impurity laws in the book of Leviticus.
