My dear Mr. President, Hail in the Lord! With God’s help we are well, thank God. I hope you are well with your colleagues. On March 30, 2010, we will begin work on the third floor of the Academy and Theological School building in Medan. We are keeping in mind that before August 2010 the work will be finished so that we can use it for the new Academic School. Therefore, the money you sent us has been spent on materials and some on contractors. If you will allow me, so that the project does not come to a halt, it would be good if we could have the second instalment. We spent Easter in health, joy and devotion. We received your magazine and thank you very much. I am sending you photos of the new project on the building of the Theological Seminary and of the Easter 2010 celebration. That is our news, my Lord President. We have you always in our prayers. From our parish of St. Demetrius Medan, we send you many greetings. Christ is risen! With many greetings, Fr. Christostomos Manalou.
