A blessing in our sorrow

Dear friends of Mission,

Thank you very much for your constant love for our Mission and for the money you send us, which is very important, because at this time we are mobilizing to attract new students to our School of Theology. We have organized a few teams to come down to some schools. We are struggling with expenses but with the money you sent us we found the solution. May the good God reward you with His rich goods, both spiritual and wordly.

A year ago I got sick with Covid-19 and had a doctor treat me for 3 weeks. In order to pay the doctor, I got a big loan. Every month I pay half of my salary but I have not been able to pay off all the loan yet because I have a lot of expenses for the poor children I host in our house, and I still owe 1,830 euro. If possible, my brothers, please help me.

The organization of our new Mission on the island of Borneo is progressing. Father Prochoros will tell you details about this new missionary opening.

I have you all in my prayers.

With respect and love in Christ, Fr. Chrysostomos Manalu
