Dear all members and colleagues , Merry Christmas and a happy new year,
With the blessings of these days we like to thank each and every one of you who either supported the mission by direct donations or any other type of contribution and help.
As we enter into the new year, we plan to have at least four different missions to the old country Egypt and May extend it to other parts of Africa like Sudan.
That ambitious plan Carry with it a lot of cost and need for support both logistically , professionally and cash.
We regularly have around &5-6000 monthly cash donations to different coptic parishes sites all over the country plus the running cost of each trip we go.
We also help many of our own member professionals in their struggles in case they need legal or professional help.
Last year we with the grace of the lord and your generosity were able to carry on with these obligations.
Thank you again and have a wonderful and a blessed festivity season and May the lord bless us all.
