IFFAsia Mission Internship in Malaysia (Updated Version)

On behalf of the students and staff of the Institute of Formation Fondacio Asia (IFF Asia) we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for your kindness to have welcomed them into your homes and parish, the input and guidance you gave them, and your prayers and thoughts that accompany them.

As you know these young people and staff are being trained by Fondacio – Christians for the world to serve in various missions in their countries and in the Asian region. This solidarity and communion among churches and Christians are very important.

As our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI says in his message for the World Mission Sunday 2009, “The Church's mission is to spread hope “contagiously” among all peoples... The universal mission should become a fundamental constant in the life of the Church... The whole Church must be committed to the missio ad gentes... Missionary zeal has always been a sign of the vitality of our Churches”.

We truly appreciate your support and generosity to missions. We are blessed by your gift and look forward to an on-going friendship and collaboration. Be assured of our prayers too.

Sincerely,

IFFAsia Director

Charles Bertille

Word of the Month (April 2010)

Mark 16: 9-15


Now after he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. She went out and told those who had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping. But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.

After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.

Later he appeared to the eleven themselves as they were sitting at the table; and he upbraided them for their lack of faith and stubbornness, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen. And he said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation."
