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.

—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“To get through their days, nervous natures such as mine have various “speeds” as do automobiles. There are uphill and difficult day which take an eternity to climb, and downhill days which can be quickly descended.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
