Personal Background
Premend Choy was born, raised, and reborn in Fiji, placing his faith in Christ as a young child. Premend and his wife, Ashwin, have two adult children, Charlene and Abigail, and have been married for 28 years. Premend previously served on the faculty of the College of Theology and Evangelism in Fiji, but recently resigned as the Principal, primarily for health reasons. He was also the teaching pastor for the Hindi–speaking Lovu local congregation near Lautoka.
In 2007, Premend and his family migrated to the United States. With the Lord’s guidance, he attended The Master’s Seminary in Southern California and received his Master of Divinity in 2012 and his Master of Theology in 2018. As he is currently recovering in America with his family, he is pursuing his PhD at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and serving local churches during this study sojourn. Premend’s heart still beats for the people of Fiji and Oceania. Lord willing, he will return someday to continue his role equipping the saints and supporting national pastors in building a Bible-based Church in Fiji.
