WHO WE ARE

ABOUT OUR MINISTRY


BRIEF FROM HISTORY

Birth of Shalom Family

For 29 years we served the Lord through Scripture Union (SU). Apart from school ministry God used us in new ventures such as student’s camp, retreats, centre meetings, Voluntary workers camp and student”s magazine. We started publishing student”s magazine with the help of few volunteers. The student”s magazines are used by school as well as college students even today. Many young people were blessed by this magazine.

Lord led us to new areas in His Ministry. He guided us to meet the students, youth and families. Lord burdened us with counseling ministry which may strengthen the family relationships. We started counseling yet to be married young people and those who are getting ready for their marriage. Also we started counseling married couples about intimacy between husband and wife, effective communication and the need to respect parents. We could see a very good response from churches and many organizations for this kind of counseling.

God in His mercy helped us to complete this challenging ministry very fruitfully. After serving God for 29 years in so and at the age of 60 I retired with a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.

Even after retirement, the burden of strengthening families is still green in my heart God revealed his burden through

“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.” [Psalm.121:1]

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said,”and I will make you fishers of men.” [Mathew 4:19]

It is by the sheer Grace of God and his clear guidance we started the ministry in the year 2007 with the vision.

‘Peace to Families, Peace to India’

THE GENERAL SECRETARY AND ADMINISTRATOR OF OUR MISSION

Mr. R. Rajasingh, our General Secretary and Mrs. Gnanam Rajasingh, our Administrator are the founders of Shalom Family Enrichment Mission with the vision “Peace to Families, Peace to India.”  Born in South India, Mr. Rajasingh accepted Jesus Christ at the age of 14 years. From the day one of accepting Jesus into his heart, Lord started filling him with His love for others. After his graduation in teaching, he took up teaching. While teaching in a school at Chennai, God called him to serve Him. He resigned his Government post and joined Scripture Union of India, a mission which ministers among children. After a few years, Mrs. Gnanam Rajasingh also followed the footsteps of her husband. A graduate in teaching, Mrs. Rajasingh was teaching Mathematics in a Government school in Chennai, and she resigned her job and joined Scripture Union. While serving in Scripture Union, God burdened them about Christian Families and they trained some of the volunteers to cater to needs of the families.

After serving in Scripture Union for 29 years, they retired and with some like minded families, in June 2007, they founded Shalom Family Enrichment Mission. The vision of this mission is “Peace to Families, Peace to India” and our mission statement is Building Holistic Spiritual Christian Families based on Biblical values by working with Churches and Institutions, to bring Peace to India.’

They have designed their own methods of Family Ministry, a play way method, making participants play family oriented games, skits, case studies and discussions, which everybody enjoy apart from learning Biblical family values. All the Resource Persons, members and volunteers are trained now and then by the HQ Training Team of SFEM. Since family is the focus, Shalom does not conduct any conventions or crusades.
