Dr. Abraham is the founder of Little Rock Indian School, Crossland College and India Theological Seminary which function at the Priority Highlands Campus in Brahmavar. Besides these educational institutions he had founded the Brahmavar Baptist Church, and Heidi Home, an Orphanage.
Great visionary, educationist, effective communicator, and spiritual leader, Dr. Abraham has been a tower of strength and a great motivator to all those associated with these institutions and his ministry.

A gold medalist in B.Ed from the Kerala University, he went on to earn his PhD in Science Education from the University of Maryland, USA. He was also awarded an honorary doctorate by the Liberty University, Virginia in USA. Dr. Abraham taught in Peet Memorial Training College in Mavelikara for some years. |

| This is a great loss to the field of education and to the people of Brahmavar. I as a student shall forever be indebted to Abraham sir for having set up a school with a difference in my humble town of Brahamavar. Thanks to his vison and efforts I am one of the numerous Little Rock passouts who have greatly benefited in our educational lives. And as a citizen of Brahmavar we are also grateful to him for having made the little town of Brahmavar famous on the map. I extend my condolences to all his family members and I pray that God grants him eternal peace. |

| My deepest condolences to Mrs. Abraham, Dr. Ninan and Lali M'am and the family. Dr. Abraham was someone I looked up to for inspiration as a student of LRIS. I still remember the untiring efforts that he put into making the school unique and it shows today. As an alumnus of the 1st batch of LRIS, I was fortunate to experience the transformation of a small school with a few classrooms into a magnificent institution. I will be ever grateful for the education I received. With my prayers...Angelo |

| The spark of God's love that was in his heart made him light a lamp of learning on the barren hillock of Chantar. From that lamp thousands more have been lighted-they are there all over the world -the ignited minds from Little Rock and Priority Highland. Even as they live their lives to the full and spread the light they received, the vision and memory of Dr. C. T. Abraham and the joy of living that he instilled in those young people will live on and on. May God grant eternal rest to the great departed soul.May God give strength and vision to the members of the bereaved family to carry on the noble endeavours of Dr. Abraham. |
