Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Greetings to you in the matchless name of our Lord and saviour
Jesus Christ.
I consider this is my
privilege and honour to welcome you to our parish website. I express my sincere
gratitude for spending your valuable time to know what the Lord is doing in and
through our parish.
I praise God for the freedom which we enjoy here to worship
and serve the Lord Almighty. It is my prayer that Lord may bless this country
and helps it to overcome from the present crisis.
In John 12:24, we read “Unless a kernel of wheat falls to
the ground and dies. It remains only as a single seed. But if it dies, it
produces many seeds”. To produces a fruit by 30, 60 & 100 times it needs an
up gradation from grain to seed. If it is a grain, it may remain as same
forever; it may die after some days. But if it grows in to the level of seed it
can produce many grains and seeds.
I wish that God may help each one of us to grow from grain
to seed, seed to plant and from plant to fruitfulness. Looking back over this
year we can see the marvelous working of God and how his hand led us through
every situation. God protects us in the Palm of his hand, every moment of our
lives.
May God continue to Bless St.Thomas Evangelical Church of
India, Dubai Parish and help each one of us to grow in the knowledge of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Yours in the service of the Lord
Rev. Sam Mathew
