Shalom is God’s dream materialized when the human spirit humbly volunteered to be His instrument. It was originally founded by Mr.Benny Punnathara in 1989, under the great inspiration and guidance from our Lord. It started as a small prayer group in a remote village in the state of Kerala, India, and over the past years,grew in size and services, focusing mainly on gospel through media. Now, the ministries of shalom include intercession, publications,television channel, and media training school. As there are no ends to the possibilities of God, Shalom continues to grow under the guidance of the Lord at every step.
Shalom Television, broadcasted in Malayalam (Native language of Kerala, India), became available in USA, two years ago, indented for the keralites residing in USA. Shalom Media Inc, USA is a nonprofitable organization registered under US Government. Shalom’s vision and prayer is, to let God’s love touch and transform the hearts of the people in this country.
’Shalom’ – God’s Peace- to all !
- Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
- Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Major Archbishop
I am happy to know that three years have passed since launching Shalom Television in the United States.
I remember in this auspicious moment the contributions given by Sunday Shalom and Shalom Television to the Church of Kerala. I also wish that Shalom ministries in America may be fruitful in evangelization, spiritual growth and for imparting courageous testimony to Christ.
