How a Near-Death Crisis Sparked Paul Sarvadi’s Mission to Strengthen Jewish-Christian Unity

Paul Sarvadi’s personal and business journey was shaped by a life-altering crisis in which he nearly lost his wife and newborn child, leading him to recognize he was never truly in control. That moment drove him toward a deeper faith in God and ultimately inspired the founding of Insperity — a multibillion-dollar HR company built on biblical values such as dignity, integrity, and servant leadership. His convictions remained unwavering even when doing the right thing cost him financially, reinforcing a culture rooted in Scripture rather than profit alone. His success became the engine for the Nathaniel Foundation — established long before wealth existed — which now strengthens humanitarian work and Jewish-Christian relationships, especially through support for Israel. Sarvadi believes that calling, not career, is what gives a life true alignment, and that Christians should invest their influence where God’s priorities are most evident: His people, His land, and His word. His leadership story is ultimately a testimony that business achievement means nothing if it doesn’t advance God’s purpose in the world.
