The name Berachah means

The valley of blessing

To fulfil the Great Commission and to practice the Great Commandment by showing mercy and love to those in need.

Who can despise the day of small beginnings

The Berachah Church was started in 1978 in a simple chicken coop in the city of Palampur, Himachal Pradesh. From a humble fellowship it grew as a mission organization with the aim to serve the people of India. We have now defined three areas of the ministry as the pillars of our church- Establishing Community of believers, Equipping Leaders, Empowering the Poor. Berachah church aim to promote holistic missions in Northern India.
Our activities include providing holistic training for development of leadership qualities and serving the community in various ways. Our ministry is rooted in the Great Commission statement (Matthew 28:19-20).
We have no income generating programs and we subsist on donations. Our social activities are focused on the overall development of society, especially for those belonging to the economically weaker sections. We provide primary and non-formal education to children who otherwise do not attend schools, scholarships and other educational assistance, relief work, conducting of vocational training, giving marriage counselling, free wheel chairs and medical treatment etc.

Empowering the poor

The nation of India have made significant progress economically and socially in the last season of years, yet poverty is a reality in many communities especially in North India . This poverty results in poor health, lack of education, water & sanitation etc. Jesus gave us the Great Commandment, “Love your neighbour as you love yourself.” We fully believe in the social responsibility of the church as part of the mandate of the Great Commandment.

Our purpose is to meet the immediate disaster- caused needs of individuals, families, and communities. We respond to disasters big and small, across the country. Floods are among the most frequent and costly natural disasters. Your support helps those impacted by flooding in so many ways.

Health Education

Health education is one strategy for implementing health promotion and disease prevention programs. Health education provides learning experiences on health topics. Health education strategies are tailored for their target population. Health education presents information to target populations on particular health topics, including the health benefits/threats they face, and provides tools to build capacity and support behavior change in an appropriate setting.

We offers varied career oriented courses encouraging innovations in all areas of Tailoring, Arts & Design.

Education

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change The World. The aim of the school is to give its pupils a sound moral education while devoting special attention to their spiritual, intellectual, social and physical development.

Empowerment of women

We work with individuals and communities to change attitudes and social norms that perpetuate gender-based violence and the exploitation of women and girls. We engage government and civil society to strengthen laws, legal systems, and other response mechanisms to increase access to justice and improve service delivery. We provide women the knowledge and skills to earn an income and lift themselves and their families out of poverty and self employment.
