EDAVAKA MISSION ACTIVITIES
Marthoma Voluntary Evangelist’s Association was found by our late Metropolitan Most Rev. Abraham Marthoma out of his strong conviction that each marthomite is an evangelist. Evangelism is the utmost mission of this organization. The parish level unit is known as Edavaka Mission and in the Kuwait Marthoma Parish, Edavaka Mission is active since 1984 . We give stress to the seven fold activities such as Intercessory Prayer, Bible Study, Sharing of Experience, House Visit, Serving the sick, Prayer Group activities, and Evangelism among non Christians.
