Dear fellow-warriors in Christ,

Greetings to you in the matchless name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who has always been faithful( 2 Tim 2:13).

We are pleased to submit the Financial Report for the year 2016-2017. A comparative statement is given below for a quick reference. A detailed statement of accounts containing balance sheet and income and expenditure statement are attached with this report. The total receipt from April 2016 to March 2017 was Rs. 12.04 Crores which is Rs. 55.5 Lakhs less than the previous period. The expenditure for the period from April 2016 to March 2017 is Rs. 10.27 Crore which is Rs. 4.5 Lakhs more than the previous period. Though we have experienced a slight dip in the income this year, let us not forget to thank God for His goodness. He faithfully provided our needs during the National Staff Retreat( NSR) and for the Bishop Caldwell Training Centre building project in Odisha in the last period. Our hearts overflow with gratitude to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for His faithfulness during the past 46 years.

We gratefully thank and acknowledge God ' s people who gave sacrificially and liberally and contributed for this noble cause of missionary evangelism. We would like to record our special word of thanks to each of our Missionary Offering Collectors( Mission Mobilizers) who prayerfully visited Christian homes, fellowships and Churches to raise prayer and financial support. They rendered this noble task in spite of their personal, professional and social commitments. We also would like to thank the individual donors and people who contributed during special occasions for the missionaries.

We are also thankful to our auditor, Mr. C. A. K. Ponpandi Inbarasu, B. Sc., F. C. A., Tuticorin and his team for their good services and guidance to our staff in the Accounts Department in our Head Quarters at Vellore and Blessing Literature Centre, Chennai.

The Mission thankfully records its appreciation for the staff at Mission fields and at Head Quarters for their sincere works. The Mission also thanks the Office-bearers, Director, Regional Shepherds, State Coordinators, District Coordinators, Advisory Committee Members, Executive Committee Members, Tamil Nadu Ministerial Team Members and also the lay volunteers for their support and encouragement.

Yours in His Service,

( T. Prince Stachys Ravindran) Hon ' ble Treasurer, Blessing Youth Mission
