Smyrna journey of 50 years of service to its community...


Smyrna journey of 50 years of service to its community...

24th of March,2012 was a memorable day for all who were part of Smyrna. It was the 50th Anniversary of Smyrna Fellowship. Smyrna Fellowship opened its arms to welcome the poor , the needy, the destitute, the widowed and the disabled .It all began with the vision of one lady who was burdened by the conditions of people who had no voice for themselves. Sis.Margit became their voice and trained up a generation to continue the work of selfless giving.

It has been a long walk towards the 50th year and Smyrna has had her share of joy, pain,tears and triumph.  Yet by God's grace and provision , Smyrna will continue its journey to uplift the lives of the less fortunate.
