Early Days
Evangeline Anderson-Rajkumar was born on March 19, 1963 in Bangalore. She is the third daughter in a family of eight siblings, (six sisters + two brothers) and all eight siblings completed their theological education and entered various forms of ministry. Acts 1: 8 "Be my Witnesses" is the undergirding Bible verse that motivates the whole family to witness to a loving and gracious triune God who sustained them in days of hardship and despair. Faith is God is therefore the richest resource that the family is endowed with, making the millionaires in faith to the rest of the world to state that GOd is a living and an ever present GOd, active in history, in everyone's lives. The neighbourhood where Evangeline lived (The Jeremiah Road Neighbourhood) is yet another large family comprising at least twenty families, belonging to all faiths: Hindu, Muslim, Jain, Christian, and those who were from different culture, caste, colour and faith orientations. That this friendship and comradeship remains alive and vibrant even today after thirty - forty years speaks of the quality of relationship fostered in that neighbourhood community. She went to Goodwill Girls High School and later joined Mount Carmel College, affiliated to the University of Bangalore, and obtained a B.Sc. degree in the year 1983.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or days:
“Two sleepy people by dawn’s early light, and two much in love to say goodnight.”
—Frank Loesser (1910–1969)
“The days are ever divine as to the first Aryans. They are of the least pretension and of the greatest capacity of anything that exists. They come and go like muffled and veiled figures, sent from a distant friendly party; but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
