=====
Mabel is an award-winning writer, speaker, and host of the podcast, Immigrant Faith Stories. Born and raised in the minority Christian community in India, Mabel moved to the US in 2008 shortly after getting married. In nearly fourteen years of her marriage, her family has called ten different places across two continents and seven cities home. The challenges Mabel faced as an immigrant on the move led to a spiritual crisis that drew her nearer to God’s side where she learned valuable lessons about how to live as a citizen of heaven.
In her latest book, Far from Home: Discovering Your Identity as Foreigners on Earth, she draws from her personal experiences and examines the lives of biblical immigrant heroes to shed light on how to find purpose and joy as sojourners on earth . Her mission is to inspire believers to embrace their pilgrim journey on earth so they can pursue their heavenly calling with boldness, urgency, and passion.
A contributor to Guideposts' All God's Creatures: Daily Devotions for Animal Lovers (2022, 2023 and 2024), Mabel’s writings have appeared in The Upper Room, CBN.com, Leading Hearts Magazine, and (in)courage.me. Through her YouTube podcast called Immigrant Faith Stories she shares testimonies of immigrants, refugees, missionaries, and cross-cultural ministry leaders.
Mabel was involved in youth ministry for almost fifteen years in her home church in India. After moving to the U.S., she has been serving in various roles in women's ministry for almost a decade. Currently, she is the Substitute Teaching Leader at a Bible Study Fellowship class in Northern California.
Mabel enjoys reading, traveling, and dancing, but nothing gives her more joy than having conversations about the Bible. She is pursuing M.A. in Theological Studies from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and lives with her husband, son, and Maltese pup in Northern California.
