Pastor Saroja M. Founder/Managing Trustee

Pastor Saroja M. was brought up in a Hindu background. In the year 1990, some missionary sisters came to her house and spoke to her about the Lord Jesus Christ, about His life and the miracles that He had done. They gifted her with the Holy Bible, which was kept aside for sometime, but later on became the most precious possession of her life.

In the year 1993, after a touch from the Lord Jesus Christ, she experienced a dramatic change in her life. Jesus Christ brought her from darkness to light. Since then she has devoted her life in fulfilling the call of God upon her as His Prophetess. There are many mighty works done by the Lord through this faithful servant, which are witnessed by many individuals and families.

She has been an instrument of the Lord to bring tremendous blessings in the lives of many people. Just as in the days of old, today the Lord speaks to her in visions and dreams. Every prophecy and revelation has been confirmed as coming from the Holy Spirit of God. There are many who have experienced the divine cleansing of God in their lives through words of counsel and correction, which she speaks under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. People who have accepted these virtues of the Lord working through her, are the carriers of manifold blessings today.

The forming of the Rose of Sharon Trust began when a burdened young man approached Pastor Saroja with his grief. He mentioned to her about his aged mother who was residing all alone in the city of Mangalore, while he was earning his bread in the city of Mumbai. At that time, with faith in her heart, Pastor Saroja consoled him saying that God would provide an old age home. Within a year and a half, this mustard seed faith on the Lord, resulted in the construction of a beautiful Home in Mangalore, which would house the aged, widows and underprivileged. With a vision from the Lord Jesus and a promise from His Unchanging Word in 2 Kings 3:17 " For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts", she went ahead with this project with only Rs. 10 in her hand, but having great faith on Jehovah Jireh her provider. The formation of the Rose of Sharon Trust in the year 2002 brought about a dramatic growth and change in her ministry.

The Lords work and revelation continued in her life and in accordance with the promise from 1 Sam 17:18 "And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge."

The second home was constructed a little more than a year later on the 3rd of Oct 2004. The work of the Lord at Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu has witnessed a double fold blessings from the Lord. Every visitor will be in awe and wonderstruck at the magnificent work God has done here, to house those in need. Rain has been poured out on this land after a period of 12 years which was forseen and told by Pastor Saroja.

According to divine counsel, the next Rose of Sharon old age home has been set up in Mira Road, Thane District, near Mumbai, Maharashtra and is ready for admissions. The Rivers of Living waters have been flowing from Mumbai to Mangalore to Tirunelveli and then to wherever the Lord wishes to use His Servant to bless the people.

She has authored the books entitled 'Jeevan Jyothi' Vol 1, Vol 2 and Vol 3, which contain some of her cherished moments of what the Lord has done in her life. She has just mentioned them in a concise manner. This book will lead you to understand how true dedication, obedience and enduring of sufferings, can bring the peace and blessings of God through Jesus Christ.

There will be many more books in future containing the mysterious and powerful works of the Holy Spirit done through this prophetess. Her life is a living testimony of a true believing Christian. The simple faith and the love of God which is seen through her, has given a profound impact on many individuals seeking the truth.
