Fr.SJ.Berchmans Testimony
Fr. S.J. Berchmans was born in the year of 1949 at Madurai,
Tamil nadu. Fr. S.J. Berchmans distinguished his call for the
service to humanity in the very young days itself. He
determined to dedicate his life and talents for the glory
of God and joined in Roman Catholic Seminary.

talents and by the time of Priest hood, he has become a
good singer well known in the circle. He started his ministerial
career as the Priest of Satharasanpatti in 1978.

Call for the Ministry
Overcoming the tendency of floating with the water, Fr.S.J. Berchmans
listened to the voice of God and allowed the Holy Spirit to move in his
spirit to discern his calling.

Innovation ahead of the normal spiritual procedures paved way for
great revivals in central Tamil Nadu where the spirit of God worked
wonders in people by deliverance and repentance through him.

Lord's 'Charisma' and the God given 'Talent' of man joined together
and the number of people who attend the meetings increased from
hundreds to thousands and thousands to ten thousands and there
was an array of miracles after miracles. For the people, "this voice
was new, this melody was different and naturally the result was great"

the tranformation to the next level of operation became too essential.
