AMBASSADOR FOR JESUS
JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS 2008
(1978-2008)
The Ambassadors for Jesus celebrates three
decades spent in showcasing Roman Catholic Unity through pageants, prayer meets, all night Vigils, rosary crusades, football
tournaments, concerts, awards and a newsletter. The Ambassadors for Jesus, under direction of their Founder Melvyn Brown,
and after four Spiritual Advisors, have spread Catholic Evangelization to almost an entire generation of youth and indulgent
adults. The truth of the matter was emblazoned in the Latin saying, “Deus volte”, If God wills it.
His Grace, Archbishop S. Lucas Sirkar, sdb, said in his Official letter: “Hearty
Congratulations on the occasion of the 30 years of service of AFJ in the Archdiocese of Kolkata. “I assure you of my
prayers and blessings on your apostolate”.
The DVD “Colours of Christmas”,
produced by Melvyn Brown has also been sent for the 23rd International Catholic Film and Multimedia Festival, “Niepokakanow 2008” Poland.
