We also thank the Lord for sending His servants to minister to us in various chapter meetings in the past few months. Among them were Rev Cornelia Perez and local speakers like Bro Sam Ramasamy and Ps Joseph Selvanalsu just to name a few. In addition, two KL chapters were blessed by the ministry of the Hymnsmen who ministered through songs and testimonies. Our National President was present at one of the meetings and encouraged the group to go round the FGB circuit to testify, sing and share the good news of Jesus Christ.
