We are in a troubled world either due to physical, mental or spiritual strains, generated by situations, our fellowmen or by ourselves. Our limited knowledge does not lead us out of our turmoil. Hence we need someone who can share our burden. Jesus said \u201cCome unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest\u201d (Matthew 11:28).<\/em> He developed His selected Disciples with due knowledge to lessen the burden of the people by guiding them with due counsel.<\/p>\n

Over the past decade the churches in Tirunelveli came across in their minis-try a multitude of people suffering mental agony and depression due to self and socially inflicted causes that drove them to the wall and in some cases made them lose their hope and come closer to the end of their lives.<\/p>\n

Burdened by the suffering of these people, Rt. Rev. S. Jeyapaul David, the then Bishop at Tirunelveli started a counseling team of well trained counse-lors with in 2008.<\/p>\n

Since then the seed has grown into a virtuous tree, reaching thousands of depressed masses guiding them to a blessed life. Today our efforts cover a range of counseling services including Marriage Counseling, De-Addiction, Family Counseling, Suicide Prevention, Matrimonial alliances and so forth.<\/p>\n

Our Vision<\/h4>\n

\u2018I have come that they may have life; and that life abundantly\u2019 is the declaration of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
