Chennai – Staff Reporter

Organisers said preparations had been underway for several months, with volunteers from different fellowships coordinating food, transport and accommodation for the hundreds of guests who attended.

The gathering began with a time of worship led by the local choir, followed by messages from visiting ministers who encouraged the congregation to remain steadfast in faith and service.

Speaking on the occasion, church leaders thanked the community for its generous support and called for continued prayer for families, young people and mission work around the world.

A special offering was taken to support ongoing charity work, including education assistance for children and medical help for those unable to afford treatment.
