FOCUS Annual Meeting – Kandy (October 2015)

October 6th, 2015 by yohan abeynaike

FOCUS organized a programme in Kandy recently to introduce the FOCUS ministry to the Churches around Kandy and to share the importance of University Ministry in Sri Lanka. The programme was held at the Kandy City Mission and a group of 25 members of Churches from various denominations participated at this event. Kolitha Dissanayake, FOCUS staff member and Peradeniya University Chaplain, welcomed everyone and spoke about the objectives of the programme.

Speaking at the programme Yohan Abeynaike, the General Secretary of FOCUS, encouraged the audience to see the university not just as a place of study but also as a place of discovery. He also appealed to the wider Church to see the FOCUS ministry not as a separate organization but as the Church’s arm in the university.
