It's good that there are helping hand projects done by your church. I'm sure there were a lot of people who benefited from this project.
ReplyDeleteThis is a humanitarian kind of project which our Church is doing all over the world. This is an international activity to help the community, the needy and also those who really in dire needs. This is not only done here in our locality, but around the world, in every nook and corner of it as long as there's our Church.
Deletedoing something in the name of our Lord, to give a helping hand to the needy and to strengthen the faith of the people, what's more noble than that... more power. Yahweh bless. ralph
ReplyDeleteit was really great to know that your Church is reaching out to people who are in need. I think the Church ought to do activities like this more often. Nothing is really as rewarding as extending a helping hand to a needy brother in the name of the Lord. Kudos to everyone who participated in this noble event! :)
