Touch in Prayer
http://www.touchinprayer.com
There are times when we feel we are sinking into the deep sea of troubles and trials, we seek for something to cling on to, we cry for someone to lift us up from the stormy waters of life's harsh reality. Broken hearted, lonely, financially broke, stressed, disease-stricken, loss of a dear one, out of work, concerns about the ways of a loved one...... yes the problems we face are many.But not all understand that help is only a 'prayer' away. Prayer is God's gift to us to take our concerns to the throne of God. It is the bridge that takes us over the sea of troubles into God's divine solace."As for me, I said in my haste and alarm, I am cut off from before your eyes. But you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to you for Aid". Ps.31:22Open up your thoughts to your heavenly father. He is never too busy to listen to you and never too involved to answer you. We at the prayer group are there to stand by you as you lift up your hearts to god. We are ready to join you in your prayers. Tell us what troubles you, let us know if you want us to pray for you. We commit ourselves to intercede for you.If two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my father who is in heaven Math 18:19

Arthunkal was the capital of Muthedath Kingdom, one of the pricipalities of Kerala, during the 16th century. Historians opine differently as to how Arthunkal got that name.One among them is that it has evolved from 'Arthhikulangara', the name of the place at that time. Arthhikulangara, in course of time turned 'Arthhikulangal' and later, Arthunkal.According to historian George Schurhammer, the capital of Muthedath was known as 'Muthedathunkal' (at Muthedath) and it changed to 'Edathunkal' and then Arthunkal.Portuguese Missionaries landed in Kerala following the arrival of Vasco da Gamma. They visited Muthedath and found so many St Thomas Christians here. They were not baptized, but their ancestors were.The Jesuit missionaries started their mission in Muthedath and Elayedath(the neighbouring principality). In 1579 A.D., the Jesuit priest Manuel Texeira from Goa visited Arthunkal on his way from Kochi to Kollam (Quilon). As on request by the Christians, he arranged Fr Gasper Pius to be appointed in Arthunkal for their spritual needs in 1581. Since 1560 A.D., the Christians and missionaries had been requesting the Muthedath King for the permission of an oratory, though the king did not give much attention to. But following the incessant pestering from the Christians and considering the helps the king had from the missionaries, he granted permission in November, 1581 to construct a church using wood and coconut leaves. He also granted a few trees from his premises for the purpose.The Christians installed a wooden cross and constructed, with the co-operation of the local Hindus, a church, where the king had given permission to. On 30th November, the church was consecrated in the name St Andrew the Apostle. The first vicar was Fr Gasper Pius S.J. On completion, the king of Muthedath came to visit the church and asked the vicar to maintain the church suitably to be the House of God. Since then, many Hindus from the neighboring regions came to the church, prayed to St Andrew and got their appeals fulfilled.
