JULY 2017
A 'Blesso' To Remember!
(Report of the 3-Day Annual Meet of Blessing
Youth Mission held in Trichy, TN)
“We have not heard such messages on
reconciliation elsewhere”
“I started to witness and give tracts the very
next day”
“Decided to spend more time with my kids and
husband”
“I decided to speak to my dad immediately”
“I must make atleast one child as missionary”
“I have decided to win atleast one soul this
year”
These were some of the remarks of the
participants about the recently held Blesso 2017 in
Trichy from 25th to 28th May. The theme of the camp
was 'Reconciliation' which is a rare topic discussed

men, women, youth and children on all three days as the

such as : “Importance and Hindrances of
Reconciliation”, “Steps For Reconciliation” ,
