Dear
Friends,
Greetings
from
Pakistan
Fellowship of Evangelical Students.
We are thankful to you for your prayers and partnership with the
Fellowship. Our summer camps have always played vital role in the ministry of
PFES. This year by God’s grace we had very blessed summer camps. The Lord has
worked in the lives of the participants. We are getting good reports and news of
students more involvement in the Bible study groups and Local Programs.
We are thankful to our friends and donors who have given love gifts for
the summer camps. This year we had deficit of Rs.20780/- in our General Camp.
You can still contribute towards the Camp, it will reduce the burden on our
General fund.
