INDIA | Fellowship of Blessed Hope Churches – Pastor Lawrence

February 20, 2017 Filed Under: Indian News, Newletters | India, Newsletters

New India FLAGTAGSince mid-2013, Pastor Lawrence from the Manivakkam church has been ministering to tribal communities and in slum areas in several places in Kanchipuram, a rural district close to Chennai City.
Many of these communities are oppressed and marginalised within Indian society. He recently forwarded the following report to Immanuel about his activities during 2016…

“I am very happy to share a brief report of my one year ministry experience 2016.
My pleasure to say that I have attended interfaith dialogue classes on 13/01/2016 -16/01/2016 in Quo Vadis center in Thiruvannamalai. Many things! We made interaction with different religious faith dialogue within individuals and groups. The programs included inner dialogue, verbal dialogue, creative dialogue to diapraxis. This study has helped me to have a close relationship with non-Christians in my ministry fields and also it develops humanism across the religions.

Glory be to God, As Apostle Paul said “Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.” Philippians 3:12
By the inspiration and encouragement of our National Missionary and Manager Mr. Immanuel iya and Rev. Regi Christopher the former president of Fellowship of Blessed Hope Churches, I have completed two years theological higher studies i.e. Bachelor of Divinity (BD) in Tamil Nadu Theological seminary at Madurai for last academic year 2015-2016. I graduated on 20/03/2016 by the distinguished Bishop CSI Madurai Diocese.
