Pastoral Epistle – Sept 09 2026
Beloved Congregation,
Greetings in Jesus!
“Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines. Though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food. Though the flock may be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls— Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” Habakkuk 3:17-18
We are called to rejoice in our Lord in all situations. Not only when we receive abundant blessings. We rejoice in our Lord because we belong to Him and are constantly kept under His watch.
Thank you to Tina George Angela Viji for leading service while I was on vacation. By God’s grace I had a nice time with family. Looking forward to a rewarding ministry in the rest of the year.
