Pr. Shajet was born as the third child in a Christian family in Kerala in the northern district of Kannur. From his childhood he was brought up in the Christian faith by his catholic parents. After an uneventful childhood, his life took a turn in his teen years as he wandered far away from God into the world and its lusts. But at the age of 23 he encountered God’s love which brought him into the global family of God’s children. He received Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour, obeyed the Lord in Water Baptism and was filled with the Holy Spirit. He enrolled himself for theological studies at a Bible College in Kerala. His ministry life started from Munnar, the south western part of Kerala.
