Beginnings
Mithram Ministries began its ministry in Wayanad by screening moral and education films in April 2006. Films were chosen as majority of the people were illiterate. With in a couple of years, different titles including Jesus Film were screened in 80 different colonies with households ranging from five to a hundred. An average of 100 people attended each of these shows. Several people who watched the film asked for further help and opened their homes. Families were touched with the gospel; children were encouraged to go to school. Tuitions and moral education to children have brought changes in attitudes, behaviors, health and hygiene and much more....
Meet the founders
“I hail from Tiruvalla, Kerala. It has been my sincere desire to be involved in Chirstian ministry, even before I met the Lord personally and put my trust in Him. Idea of an orphanage was close to my heart since 2005 and I shared it with Pastor V. M. Sunny. Seeking the opportunities for starting a work, we both prayerfully set out for a trip through several places in Kerala and in the bordering areas. We did not have any guidance from the Lord in identifying a place before we returned. Later we came in contact with Brother Bijumon who has been a Bible Translator for a tribal language group in Wayanad, a district in the North- Eastern part of Kerala. We first time heard from about areas where the gospel has not effectively been proclaimed.
This time we went to the tribal areas of Wayanad along with Brother Bijumon and were clearly guided by the Lord to put our hands together in serving the least and the neediest people groups in the area. Thus began Mithram Ministries on 1 April 2007 by sending Brother George and family to begin the work among them. We got the ministry registered as Mithram Charitable Trust in May 2008 (Act 11 of 19/882).
The desire of uplifting these neglected people to the mainstream stream society through the Love of Christ can be yours too. We invite your cooperation and prayers to bring meaning and transformation to some of the least reached people groups of the land".
Yours in the Lord’s mission,
Benoy Jacob Thomas
