Para 1.20 | This has been the second year of our operation. We have had difficulties in setting up bank accounts and being operational which has limited our abilities to operate financially. However, the voluntary attendance at prayer meetings has increased and the encouragement for each participant to contribute to their local communities irrespective of faith, gender, sexuality and race. This has resulted in attendees having a spiritual relationship with Jesus and being motivated to love, be inclusive and contribute to their local communities. |
