About us

Our humble beginnings can be traced back to the 1990s, where a group of men and women joined Brother John Panicker to pray and discuss the need to work for unity and peace among the people of the world, who God created to live in peace, united by love. He wanted them to love Him and love each other.

1 John 4:7, Let us love one another: for love is of God.

1 John 4:12, No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

This small, but committed group also had plans to provide relief to those who are in need of fellowship and assistance to make a comfortable living.

After much deliberation and prayer, Christian Retreat Centre was registered as a trust and we found a space in the hills of Kachani to create a habitat for collective thought and action.

It has been 30 years and our vision is still clear. We need to unite in love and be connected to the Creator.
