Senior Pastor

Born and raised in Pakistan into a devout Christian family, Jamshad Hadyat's life journey has been a remarkable testament to his unwavering faith, commitment to service, and a profound call from God. In 1988, a pivotal year, he accepted Jesus as his savior in one of the youth camp meetings, an event that would shape the trajectory of his life in profound ways. Feeling the undeniable call of God to serve, Jamshad embarked on a path that defied convention and societal expectations. In 1993, he stepped into the role of a church planter, responding with a resounding "yes" to the divine mandate on his life. Balancing his ministry responsibilities with secular education, he pursued his studies diligently and diligently. Despite familial pressures to pursue a medical career, Jamshad's conviction in his divine calling prevailed. He chose to follow the path laid out before him by God, declining admission to medical college and continuing to minister and study concurrently. His passion for education extended to teaching at a school for 12 years, impacting the lives of countless young minds and many of them are in the mission field. His ministry took him to the farthest corners of Pakistan, where he preached the Gospel and shared the message of Jesus with fervor. In 2008, he embarked on a new chapter of his life by getting married, and embracing partnership in his mission to spread love and faith. However, in 2012 he moved to America. He left his homeland and journeyed to the United States, driven by a divine purpose to awaken a nation to spiritual revival. His itinerant journey saw him moving from city to city, town to town, church to church, delivering a message that resonated deeply with his listeners. With a heart burdened for the issues facing the world, he spoke boldly on subjects ranging from the Islamic population's influence to the sanctity of life amidst abortion debates. 1 AUGUST 11, 2023 Guided by the spirit of God, his journey led him to a place uniquely suited for his mission: Clarkston, Georgia. Nestled within the mosaic of cultures that is Clarkston, Jamshed's impact took on a new dimension. Alongside his beloved wife Anila and their two children, they embarked on a mission to plant a church that would cater to the Urdu-speaking population. With time, dedication, and divine favor, the Bible study sessions they initiated evolved into the flourishing congregation of Vertical Life Church Urdu, officially launched on February 20, 2016. Jamshad and Anila are the proud parents of four beautiful children Josiah, Joshua, Ariana, and Micaiah. The family's journey has been one of sacrifice, service, and unwavering faith. Their story epitomizes the power of answering a divine calling, irrespective of the challenges and uncertainties that lie ahead. Jamshad Hadyat's life echoes a narrative of faith, service, and transformation. From his roots in Pakistan to his mission in Clarkston, his journey inspires others to embrace the call of God, persist through obstacles, and create meaningful change in the lives of those they touch. On July 30th, 2023 an atmosphere of gratitude and celebration filled the air as friends, family and fellow believers gathered to honor a remarkable milestone in the life of Jamshad Hadyat. With three decades of unwavering dedication to his faith and the call of God, this day marked a testament to his enduring commitment, resilience, and the transformative power of a life lived in service to others. The occasion was nothing short of a spiritual feast, where hearts overflowed with thanksgiving for the journey that had brought Jamshad to this point. Among the distinguished guests was Dr. John David, whose presence and inspiring sermon served as a fitting tribute to the remarkable journey that Jamshad had undertaken
