Hello , how are you all? I would like to share our church activities regarding Easter celebration that has been planned after Easter.
Members of the BEC of St Teresa of Calcutta Indah Jaya and Bahasa Melayu Choir Community (BMCC) outreach to 10 families living in a very secluded area to share with them the joy of Easter on 7th April 2018.
This mission team was led by Susanna Cordova and Phillip Mosinoh from SYCC, while John Tan and Leonnie Degullacion, which is my dad, from the BEC. Together with their members, they handed baskets of love to each family consisting of daily necessity, such as cooking oil, rice, salt, sugar, biscuits, noodles and etc. The children were given each a gift as an Easter present.
Prior to the outreach mission, a discussion on preparatory work was held at the residence of Susanna Cordova on 12th March 2018.
Accordingly, this community consists of 19 families who were evicted from their houses cum workplace because the owner had sold the land. They have moved to a new location, a little further and more isolated.
These families rebuild their houses, consisting of a one-room space, packed with 8 or 13 members per family. It's quiet sad to learn of their downhearted living condition, and so the ideas of visiting these families were proposed.
In less than a month, both communities solicited enough provisions for the affected families

The Easter season is a calling for helping the poor and to show the love to humanity. Psalm 9:18 “For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.”
That's it for now, thanks for reading my long post and stay tuned for next post! God bless and keep steeming! Cheers!
