MY PROVIDENTIAL PATH TO WSC by A A R O N S A S A N E
M
y name is Aaron Sasane, and I’m a first-year MDiv student here at Westminster Seminary California. My wife (Abi), son (Jonny), and I made the move to Southern California in the Fall of 2021 from Pune, India. We are so glad to be here and are reminded daily of the blessing it is for me to be able to study at WSC. We are grateful to God for leading us here. It’s been almost eight months since we arrived here. I am enjoying my classes and interacting with the professors and students. What a privilege to study under men who are faithful to God’s Word and love the Church. I have found the professors to be very encouraging and approachable. We are thankful to the people that God has used along the way to encourage and support us in this journey so far. We would like to share a little bit of our story so that you, too, can marvel with us at the goodness of our God. Our journey to seminary was a very long one, but it is filled with many wonderful stories of God’s faithfulness and amazing providence through His people. It all began in January 2018 when my brother, Vineet Sasane, visited Escondido for the WSC Annual Conference. He loved the seminary campus, teaching, and pastoral hearts of the professors and excitedly told me about the seminary on his return home. He handed me the 2017-18 student prospectus and asked me to prayerfully consider studying here. So here I was, with the WSC prospectus in hand but with many questions running through my mind. I didn’t know much about the seminary but decided to prayerfully consider it. During this time, I was working in an insurance company, but was involved in various ministries in the church and had a desire to be further equipped for future ministry. I had taken part in several formal and informal ministry training programs since 2013, but a Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree had always remained a distant dream. I was considering various seminaries at this point, including some in India or other online options; but nothing seemed like a good fit. Around this time, I had begun discovering Reformed theology and would listen to sermons and podcasts during my spare time. My heart and mind began grasping the wonderful truths of Reformed theology, and WSC quickly became my top choice to go to seminary.
