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
