India. It was founded By Bro.Chackochan Edayal. The
main aim of E.C.C.S is to eliminate the pain and sufferings
of our downtroden brothers and sisters. The society
was formed with the intention to offer a helping hand
to the poorest of the poor.

Here
I am giving you my testimony for your information.
Though born in an aristocratic Christian family of
Central Travancore, like every one I too had all the
privileges of being brought up under true Christian
spirit and values. As years passed I became an active
member and even the state leader of the then Socialist
party of late Jayaprakash Narayan. |

Very
unfortunately it took long 40 years for me to
realize the fact that ‘the love of the
world is enmity to God’ (In Bible, James
4:4 says, “You adulteresses, do you not
know that the friendship of the world is enmity
to God? Whoever, then, desires to be a friend
of the world, makes himself and enemy of God.”).
While participating in a charismatic retreat
lead by Rev.Fr.Dr.Augustine G Pallikkunnel,
I decided to devote myself to God. Unlike everyone,
in the interest of serving God through our fellow
beings, I decided to share my life with the
abandoned members of the society. I enjoyed
the abundant grace of God throughout my service
for the last 27 years. |

In
my initial stages I could bring up only a few
children in my own home. But later God gave
me a wonderful opportunity to listen to the
words of Padmasree Dr. M.A Thomas, a great human
lover who accommodates thousands of orphans,
widows, leprosy patients etc. in the state of
Rajasthan. He said “
If God has given a vision to somebody, He will
not let him die unless and until the vision
given is fulfilled ”. God inspired
me through his words and I had the courage to
share what ever I have, to greater number than
a few. |

We
have taken a house on rent at Angamaly. Now
I have a lot of children along with me and the
''The eldest of my children is of 25 years old
and working as a Nurse in abroad.
All of my children enjoy good food, education,
social status and every other rights an ordinary
child has. It is the mercy of God and the co-operation
of our well-wishers that helped us to enjoy
all these. We pray to God for our needs and
He always hears. |

I
do not feel that I have done my best.
I can feel the breath of my Saviour in
each abanoned child. Still there are hundreds
of unwanted lives in the womb of their
mothers and on the streets like beggars,
anti-socials etc. Therefore our responsibility
does not come to an end with 25 or 50
children. Mere providing of food and education
is not everything. We have to form them
as a true and civilized citizens of world
as well as the children of God. They need
to have a home of their own. They too
deserve good facilities at home. We must
be in a position to provide them all these.
It is my dream. It has always been a pleasure
for me to see that many people have a
feeling for my children. |

So
some of them are helping me to work for
this dream. By the grace of God, I can
say that manyof my children are now the
best students of their schools (both in
studies & character). |

He who is hard on the poor puts shame

those who are in need gives him honour

Children
are budding futures. They should grow
in sunshine and shower, learn truth, and
courage from all-round. We have the burden
to reach the unreached and development
of the children and community through
different projects. For which we need
your prayer and support. Please do remember
our services in your prayer. By which
we both can be partners for God’s
work. We shall be extremely thankful if
you would find time in attending to our
request. Please feel free to contact us
for further information. |
