Fr. Berchmans started his ministry as a Catholic Priest in Satharasanpatti near Sivaganga, Tamil Nadu in 1978. While performing his duties as a priest, he developed a longing to do something more creative. He is said to have experienced a spiritual transformation in 1983 in a meeting organised by DGS Dhinakaran, another well known Tamil evangelist. He later began organising evangelical meetings, and composing and releasing Christian worship songs, which were received well by Tamil Christians who found the “voice…new…(and) melody…different”.
A land of about 5 acres was donated to his ministries by the villagers of Kalayar Kovil near Madurai. He established his “Jebathottam Trust” in the area, which now hosts an auditorium with a seating capacity of 2000, a 24-hours prayer chamber, board and lodging facilities and a shelter for helpless women. ‘Jebathottam’ is a Tamil word meaning “Prayer-Garden”
