Greetings in Our Lord Jesus Christ,

It is with joy that I summarize this year’s leadership camp at Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta Leadership Camp was organized by a young group from St. Thomas Orthodox Church. Despite the odds and the economic circumstances ALC was successful in all respects. We were blessed with the presence of three bishops, His Grace Mar Nicholovos (Metropolitan of the Northeast Diocese) His Grace Eusebius (Metropolitan of the Southwest Diocese), His Grace Coorilos (President of MGOCSM). Along with them, Rev. Fr. V.M Abraham (General Secretary of MGOCSM India) was also present. The two main speakers for the conference were Mr. Stonestreet and Dr. Muse. They inspired the youth with their presentations and personal testimonials.

Overall the camps strengthened the faith of all those that attended. It also inspired them to become able leaders in their areas and parishes.
ALC committee should be applauded for all their hard work and dedication. They labored in the vein-yard of the lord for over one year for the success of the camp. Due to their dedication Atlanta is now a growing area for MGOCSM ministries.

Finally, I wish everyone blessings as we moving forward to Houston Leadership Camp.

In Christ,
Dn. Gheevarghese John
General Secretary
