We believe that marriage is a symbol of God’s deep love for us. More than anything, we have prayed that others would experience God’s presence in a tangible way through our marriage. Our hope is to embody the values of family, community, service and worship in a way that expresses both Lini’s US and South Indian heritage and Jonathan’s US and Latino cultural roots.

She did undergraduate studies at the University of Houston and received her M.Ed from the University of St. Thomas. She worked in the public school system for almost 13 years, teaching first & fifth grade and as an elementary school counselor. She loves children and is passionate about serving in under-resourced schools and communities.
