Having been raised in a Christian home, Barney had a personal encounter with the Lord in his second year of medical school at Christian Medical College Vellore. Beyond his challenges, the Lord from that point on gave him the ability to represent Him, mature in Him, and bear witness to Him. God's decision has taken a front seat, defying all of his preconceived notions about his abilities. He ended up in medical school, even though his strength was math. God called him to become a pulmonologist though he intended to pursue OG or pediatrics. The Lord granted his heart's aspirations to teach biostatistics to clinicians, where his interest in Maths unfolded. The Lord also enabled him to excel in the field of pulmonology, to understand and carry out His purposes wherever God had placed him. Currently he is the Professor and Head of Pulmonary Medicine at CMC, Vellore, and is blessed with his wife Anitha and two teen-aged daughters. Witnessing to patients in the workplace, building a work team for the Lord and balancing work and family life while remaining in the centre of God’s will and finding joy and peace in fulfilling His purposes has been the focus of his life and these are the lessons that the Lord teaches him each day through His word, His Spirit and His ways. “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him” from Philippians 2:13 enables him to realise the source of this alignment and balancing.
