Origin – The Founding of Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan

A heart-wrenching encounter with a desperate lady, driven to the brink of hopelessness by a series of disasters and personal losses, profoundly impacted Pastor Jacob Joseph and his wife Sally. Witnessing her tears of despair and helpless situation, they welcomed her into their home, providing solace and support.

Despite their efforts to find her a supportive family, they faced rejection at every turn. This experience stirred deep emotions within Pastor Jacob Joseph and his wife, compelling them to reevaluate their priorities.

As they reflected on the lady's plight, they began to contemplate the countless individuals abandoned due to mental illness, physical infirmity, or disaster. The realization that these vulnerable souls were often neglected and unwanted by society weighed heavily on their hearts.

Driven by compassion and empathy, Pastor Jacob Joseph and his wife made an unwavering commitment to dedicate their lives to serving the destitute. This resolute decision marked the genesis of Gilgal Ashwasa Bhavan, an institution established to provide refuge and support to those marginalized by society.

With a shared vision and burden, an initial Trust Board of six members joined Pastor Jacob Joseph in this noble endeavor. Together, they worked tirelessly to create a sanctuary for the forgotten and the neglected.
