The Beginning

A small beginning was made in the year 1987 when the first book "Church Planting Approach to Mission" was authored and published by S.Devasahayam Ponraj at Danishtpet, Tamil Nadu with a loan of rupees two thousand taken from a Christian friend. Within six months 1000 copies of the books were sold and therefore another 1000 copies had to be printed. In 1988 one more book "Church Growth Studies in Mission" was written and published. In 1990 a third book, "Man on the Mission Field" was added. The Lord gave Ponraj the name Mission Educational Books as He confirmed the writing and publication ministry to give a special focus on mission studies.
