Happy B'day FMMC Prayer Meeting

Three years back it was a dream come true when the Jesus Youth were called to start a prayer meeting in Father Mullers Medical College by Fr Frank Rodrigues. The hall was full on that day and Prem and myself went to the hall which was filled with the students. It was an awesome meeting where everyone praised the Lord (some for the first time).


Congratulation to all the people who have helped the prayer meeting grow specially The Prayer Group leader Hazel and all the core team members who are contantly using their charisms to make the prayer meeting more vibrant.

It really fills my heart with joy whenever we see what the Lord is doing in Father Mullers.

Write your experience of the prayer meeting in the comments

God Bless
