History Completed!

Some of you may know the story of how my family became involved with Vision Nationals…

Arjuna was a young man working towards his Master’s in Theology at Talbot Seminary in the year 1985. Circumstances dictated that he leave his young wife and their one year old son in India while he took two years to complete his degree.

My dad, Rob, was also a young man at the time with two young children of his own (I was two years old). My dad and Arjuna met one Sunday after church through a mutual friend, and over a lunch conversation it became clear that Arjuna was thinking to forgo his scholarship and return home to India because it was too difficult to be separated from his family.

God put it on my dad’s heart to bring Arjuna’s family over from India and invite them to live with us so it would be possible for Arjuna to finish his Master’s. And so they came! And the Hunters and Chiguluris spent a crazy two years living in the same house with two completely opposite cultures and three young children!

While living with us in LA, Archana (Raji and Arjuna’s Daughter) was added to the family. My little sister, Rebecca, was just about to be born when the Chiguluris returned to India. And so it happens that even though we have considered each other family for over 20 years, and all the Hunters have been to India and all the Chiguluris have been to the US…We have never in the history of our story ever ALL been in together in the same place and the same time!

Until recently, that is…So here you have it! The first time our families have EVER been ALL together!!!
