| The Emmanuel Christian Charitable
Society (E.C.C.S) came into existence on January 2003
at a small town called, Angamaly of Eranakulam district,
in the state of Kerala, 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. |

| Biography |
|
|
|
| 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 eldest of my children is of 19
years old and studying nursing at Bangalore. 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 on his Maker; but he who
has mercy on those who are in need gives him honour "
( proverb 14:31) |
| 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. |

God says “Truly I
say to you, because you did it to the least of these my
brothers, you did it to me.”
