It is well known from the word of old that ministry in Venkanji was started 150 years ago. In the year of 1822 a church was established at parasala based on cheruvarakonam circle, and then in 1838 the surrounding area of parassala was changed into missionary field. Due to the tireless effort of the European Missionary John Abbs, parasala became an important centre in the state of South Travancore. In 1845 parasala church was upgraded as a District Church initically the preaching of gospel stated among the poor people of 77 under developed villages around parasala in the year of 1850. In this book “A History of London Mission Society in South Travancore” the missionary John A. Jacob has mentioned that the ministry among the poor people of South Travancore affected by severe fever is so useful and blessing to the people. Venkanji is one of the mission field among the 77 mission fields where the ministry was started initially.
