Visit by Rev Stephens of IGL

Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting up with Rev. Samuel D. Stephens and his daughter Becky from the Indian Gospel League (IGL). They were visiting Sydney for a family wedding and took the time to come out to Parramatta to meet us. We had an enjoyable lunch hearing more about the work that the Indian Gospel League is doing in southern India. It is encouraging to hear of the progress being made to improve the lives of the disadvantage. It was also heartening to be told that most of the villages devastated by the 2004 tsunami have rebuilt their communities and in doing so had improved housing and related infrastructure.

ORAF has been contributing to IGL’s projects since 1999 and we are currently contributing funds to the Education and Economic Development Project which has just started this year.
