Upon accepting and receiving Christ, she was led into the mission field, serving In the United Kingdom, Israel and Egypt. Lady Payal is a prayer warrior and leads intercessory prayer for the ladies. She enjoys praying for others in their prayer garden.
In 2012, Lady Payal and Pastor J were married. Together, they did Crusades in Fiji Islands in 2014. In 2015, they welcomed their oldest daughter Grace into their lives. Their second daughter Faith soon followed in 2016. The joy that they both have shared since then has indeed been fulfilling, yet it has been the greatest responsibility they have endeavored. It is in this responsibility that 431 Global is where God has placed them and it is their prayer this is where they will be when Jesus cracks that sky and brings us all home.
