Mony came to the US when she was 14 and grew up in New York. When she first met Saji, she was impressed by his passion and honesty. They have been married for over 30 years. Their daughter Maryann has graduated college and is now a school teacher in Waukegan, IL. They live in Round Lake Beach, IL.
Saji was born in an ancient, nominal Christian home in Kerala, South India. Each person in the family faced severe struggles as a result of their disobedience to God’s commands. As Satan’s grip on the Lukos family grew stronger, Saji saw that his own life was completely void of peace and purpose. Then God sent a native evangelist to present the claims of Jesus Christ to Saji. In 1979, at the age of twenty, Saji accepted Christ as his personal Savior and Lord.
