gives us for our encouragement. Because we have

I am delighted to bring you this May
edition newsletter. I am really encouraged by the
feedback received from Members.
This pandemic time is a long journey.
As we are all believers in Christ, we need to
support the people in your left and right. It’s all
so easy to say that our individual contribution
doesn’t have an impact, but this pandemic
situation shows us that we are all in it together
and our efforts individually and collectively go a
long way.
Sunil Paulose Family Britto Tomy Family Thank you and God bless you all.
