our story

Kêrygma is a non – profit, founded by Jacob & Sheela Isaac in August 1997. The ministry was born out of a vision that Jacob and Sheela Isaac received to communicate God’s love to today’s urban populace, particularly the youth. The very  evening Jacob and Sheela lost their second baby John, another ‘John’, a young musician came visiting the Isaacs. Through this simple encounter, God spoke to Jacob & Sheela – ‘John’  became the metaphor for several needy young people. Since that time, many young people have come, stayed and  moved on – refreshed, nourished and impacted by God’s love. Kerygma thus is a story of hope that continues to change the lives of many.

​

In Obedience to God’s call, they offered their “five loaves and two fish” the space above their home to start the “Coffee house” a hangout for young people in the city for several years.. Roof top acoustics, box guitars, unrehearsed DJ and hot coffee was the feel of the place. Coffee House became a place where young people could unwind and just talk about life.
