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:
“For the writer, there is nothing quite like having someone say that he or she understands, that you have reached them and affected them with what you have written. It is the feeling early humans must have experienced when the firelight first overcame the darkness of the cave. It is the communal cooking pot, the Street, all over again. It is our need to know we are not alone.”
—Virginia Hamilton (b. 1936)
“Methinks a Man cannot, without a secret Satisfaction, consider the Glory of the present Age, which will shine as bright as any other in the History of Mankind. It is still big with great Events, and has already produced Changes and Revolutions which will be as much admired by Posterity, as any that have happened in the Days of our Fathers, or in the old Times before them.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
