Monthly Report November 2013

1.Director’s Desk

Dear Friends,
Greetings to you in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ!
 “The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope” – Romans 15:12
We know that Christmas is around the corner when we start seeing Christmas decorations everywhere. As the holiday season also approaches, it is important to take time to enjoy family, food, fun, but most of all it is a time to remember the real reason for Christmas, Christ our Lord.
As we remember and celebrate God’s greatest “I love you” to the human race, we realized that only Christ can bring us the peace, joy and happiness which we all seek. We recall the words of Isaiah quoted by Luke that Christ came to preach the Good News to the poor and brokenhearted and to free those who are oppressed.
We had a blessed 2013 and do pray that we would get more projects and even more blessings and good tidings for the needy one through our Trust, in the coming days as well.
Kindly, flip through the pages of  newsletter to know the activities of Peace Trust that had been accomplished during the month of November 2013.
     “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” -(Romans 15:13)
According to the above verse may the peace and joy of this holy season remain with you and your loved ones throughout the new year. 
I would like to take this time to wish all of you a “ Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year -2014”  from my family to yours.
See you in the New Year!
Cordially Signing Off,

Dr.R.Anburajan, Director.
