Transformation Trust was established in 2005 by Rev James Sundar-raj, an Indian Pastor who moved to Australia with his family in 2005. James passion is for the poor low cast rural villagers in India to be set free by Jesus love and action. Rev James is a Methodist minister who has been a pastor of several rural churches and some city churches in India. He has seen the need for missionary pastors to be involved and supported in many local villages where many people are hearing the Good News and turning to Jesus message of the love of God for all people, and a hope of a new life of purpose.
Transformation Ministries considers the whole person endeavouring to cater for the physical as well as a person’s spiritual needs; we assist with health, schooling, financial and Christian ministries. People are being baptized, healed from diseases from alcohol and drug addiction bringing peace to families and communities.
