His father ran a small business and worked hard to provide for the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaipal earned his bachelor\u2019s degree in commerce at HNB Garhwal University. During his university years, he met Nisha, a young woman who deeply influenced his life and spiritual journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After college, Jaipal worked in New Delhi with several companies, gaining exposure across India. During this time, Jaipal grew in his faith and committed his life to following Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2005, he attended a Discipleship Training School (DTS) with YWAM. This became a turning point for Jaipal, as he discovered his call to missions. That same year, he married Nisha, and together they joined the pioneer team of YWAM Dehradun. They served with YWAM for about 11 years (2005\u20132016), in various roles including leadership, relief work, and media ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After leaving YWAM, Jaipal started a small business to support his family and continued engaging in mission through the marketplace. Though modest in size, the business serves its purpose well and has made a meaningful impact in his community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaipal has also extensively served as an interpreter in teaching, training, and conference settings. A few years ago, he began written translation work with Shepherds Global Classroom (SGC). With a heart to serve God\u2019s Kingdom, he joined the SGC team as a continuation of his commitment to equipping others through ministry and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaipal and Nisha are blessed with three children, one daughter and two sons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Translation Project Manager<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32846,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"teamtype":[28],"class_list":["post-32603","team-member","type-team-member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","teamtype-ourteam"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shepherdsglobal.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team-member\/32603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shepherdsglobal.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team-member"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shepherdsglobal.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/team-member"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shepherdsglobal.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32846"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shepherdsglobal.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"teamtype","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shepherdsglobal.org\/zh-hant\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/teamtype?post=32603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
