          One of the best things for the conference was the fund raising, it was done within the church, the believers came out blessing the conference with their giving hearts. The basic things like, rice, water jar, onion, salt, oil and so on which are essential for mess were collected within the church according to their own willingness. We also thank every believer for their gifts. Let the Almighty bless them as the promise given in Proverbs 11:24.

          We finally gave all honour and glory to our One and Only God who enabled us to conduct the conference effectively, at the mean time , let our gratitude also goes to all participants and the volunteers .
