Bible Convention at Anand
In order to mark the beginning of the Year of
Faith a Bible Convention was held in the
premises of St Xavier’s High School Gamd, Anand from 15 to 18 Nov. It was +organized
by Anand Deanery and hosted by Anand Community. Banarasi Swamiji and founder of
Matrudham Ashram in Varanasi Rev Fr Anil Dev IMS was the main preacher along
with his team. Fr Anil, in his fluent Hindi and magnetic preaching kept the
entire crowd under the beautiful shamiana calm and devoted. The spectacular
backdrop prepared by Artist Satish on Faith, Reconciliation, Mother Mary and
Holy Spirit based on each day's theme, and colourful banners in the campus depicting
quotations on faith, and so on, added
extra beauty to the entire atmosphere, motivating people to experience
God's presence and energizing their faith. Frs Piyus Parmar, Maxim Crasta, the
musician Moksha and the choir team, provided mellifluous music No wonder the
last day of Bible Convention attracted a record crowd of more than five
thousand people reciting "Prabhu ki Stuti, Ishwar ko Dhanyavad" and
Alleluia. Many people were healed of various sicknesses and many left their
walking sticks. The food for the body was not less as nourishing as the food for
the soul. The Youth along with the parish volunteers did a marvellous task
providing 20 food counters and serving the food to entire crowd in less than an
hour without any difficulty. One and all appreciated the arrangements, food,
all the facilities provided. Some were given boarding and lodging also. People
were amazed with all the work done by our parishioners and thanked all of us.
The parish Priest Fr Albert Delgado, had
left no stone unturned for the success of the Bible Convention. His foresight,
hard work and encouragement brought the leap of faith for the people. Hats off
to Fr Albert Delgado and his team! Really Gamdi Parish's flag remains
high with spirit in the Church
of Gujarat ! (Fr Nagin Macwan)
