About K.E.M Fund

Kerala Evangelistic Missionary Fund (KEM Fund) is a religious trust registered under Indian Trust Act 1882.
Kerala Evangelistic Missionary Fund was started in the year 1943.
KEM Fund regularly supports about 800 Evangelists commended by Brethren Assemblies, serving the Lord in various parts of India.
KEM Fund also sends designated supports from Assemblies and individuals to other evangelists in in India who are not in the regular prayer list.
KEM Fund sends designated support to about 80 widows of evangelists who served the Lord.

A great revival took place in the State of Travancore, in Kerala, during 20th century. In response to the Masters’ Great commission, few evangelists from Brethren Assemblies in Kerala, ventured into other States of India.
Brothers G. L. Fountain, Dr. Churchward, K. G. Thomas and P. V. George prayerfully decided to start a Fund to support the Evangelists. They aptly named it the “Kerala Evangelistic Missionary Fund” or more commonly known as the KEM Fund. The first meeting was held at Thirualla on December 28, 1943.
Bro. G. L. Fountain was the first Secretary and Treasurer. Since then, Bros. N. J. Chacko, K. K. Thomas, C. T. George, A. A. Chacko, V. K. Mathew, Paul K. Thomas, Thomas Chandy and P. E. Samkutty served as Secretaries for KEM Fund.
Due to the various regulations and laws of the Government of India,the KEM Fund was registered as a religious trust in 2016. Currently there are 12 trustees.
Currently about 800 evangelists in India are supported regularly with fellowship every 2 months.
Beyond regular fellowship gifts, as God enables, special needs of evangelists like children’s education, medical treatment etc are partially met. For this purpose there is a benevolent fund.
The fund is mainly supported by our Malayalee Brethren in India and abroad. We praise the Lord for their great roll in the support of ministry in India.
