Mississauga, Ontario – Canadian Baptist Ministries (CBM) is pleased to announce Suraj Komaravalli’s expanded role as Asia Team Leader as of February 1, 2023.  

In 2008, Suraj first joined CBM as a theological education consultant with the India Strategy Team. He was named Team Leader for CBM’s ministries in India in 2013. In this role, he helped develop CBM Integral Mission strategies while managing partnerships.   

CBM is pleased to be developing new and existing partnerships in Asia beyond India. Since these areas do not fall under previously existing field oversight, CBM has appointed Suraj to extend his leadership responsibilities to encompass these exciting initiatives in Central Asia and the Philippines.  

John Chan, Director of International Partnerships says: “We are thankful for Suraj’s dedicated service and leadership within CBM and his willingness to take on new responsibilities that will enable the expansion of ministry opportunities across the organization.”  

Suraj has been a lecturer and teacher at several colleges and universities. He has a Bachelor of Science from Calcutta University, a Bachelor of Divinity from Serampore College, a Master of Theology from United Theological College and a Doctor of Philosophy in New Testament from the University of Cape Town, South Africa.  

Suraj lives in Hyderabad with his wife Prasanna, and two daughters, Selina and Mounica.
