In this powerful conversation, Faith Pereira shares how she chose unwavering devotion to Jesus Christ after losing her father, her marriage, and her financial stability — and how God met her in every moment of need. From single motherhood in India to co-founding a cybersecurity firm and leading Born Again Professionals on LinkedIn, Faith Pereira’s testimony reveals how obedience in the fire becomes the foundation of calling.
In this episode of Healed. Whole. Called., Wendy sits down with Faith Pereira — single mother, corporate leader, author, and founder of Born Again Professionals — for a steady and faith-filled conversation about loss, obedience, and the cost of discipleship.
Faith’s story unfolds through layered seasons of grief. After losing her mother in her early twenties, she later entered into an arranged marriage in India to a non-believer. Years into the marriage, following the death of her father and during the onset of the COVID-19 lockdown, her husband presented her with an ultimatum: abandon her faith or lose her marriage. He rejected her prayer life, her worship, and her devotion to Christ, demanding she choose a different path.
Faith chose God.
What followed was not immediate relief, but deep testing. As a new single mother with a toddler, she faced unemployment, financial instability, unpaid bills, and the emotional weight of raising a daughter processing abandonment. Yet in that wilderness season, Faith cried out not for ease — but for stability. She asked God for a home where she would not have to move her child from place to place. Though she lacked the down payment for a mortgage, provision came in unexpected ways, and within two months she moved into her own home — a testimony she still cannot fully explain.
The Lord’s faithfulness extended beyond finances. When she needed practical community support, God led her — through what seemed like a simple restaurant encounter — back to a former youth pastor. The church she visited stood only 250 meters from her home. There, her daughter, who had developed fear and resistance toward male figures, began receiving gentle, fatherly care from her pastor. Faith witnessed healing unfold not through spectacle, but through consistent love and safe spiritual covering.
At the same time, Faith navigated repeated professional setbacks. Despite being a top-performing corporate leader in human resources — exceeding targets and receiving awards — she was laid off more than once. Rather than retreating, she discerned that her calling was not separate from her profession. She began to see herself as a missionary in the corporate world, refusing to compartmentalize her faith.
Through prayer and obedience, the Lord led her to co-found a cybersecurity firm only days after losing one position. What seemed like disruption became redirection.
Faith also launched Born Again Professionals, a small but growing Christian community on LinkedIn connecting believers across nations. Without a content calendar or corporate strategy, she shares Scripture, encouragement, intercession, and practical job opportunities as the Holy Spirit leads. Drawing from her HR background, she supports believers not only spiritually but professionally — helping them navigate employment and calling with integrity.
Her children’s book, Garden Mission, echoes this same conviction: mission is not always overseas — sometimes it is exactly where God has placed you.
Faith’s testimony is not one of dramatic spectacle, but of steady surrender. She reminds listeners that earthly fathers, spouses, and employers may fail — but the Heavenly Father does not. As Scripture declares, “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5).
This conversation is for the woman walking through rejection, financial uncertainty, or spiritual opposition. It is a reminder that when everything shakes, obedience becomes the anchor — and that choosing Christ, even at great cost, is never wasted.
