(Eagle News) – The Ambassador of the Republic of India to the Philippines, H.E. Jaideep Mazumdar, visited Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) Executive Minister Brother Eduardo V. Manalo on Wednesday, Feb. 26. at the new INC Museum in Quezon City.

This was the first time that an ambassador from India, the second most populous country in the world, made a courtesy call on the INC Executive Minister.

In September last year, the INC, thru its humanitarian arm, the Felix Y. Manalo Foundation, conducted a series of International Aid to Humanity events in Andhra Pradesh, where it also distributed financial aid to some Indian organizations.

Ambassador Mazumdar welcomed the growing INC mission in his country, and also noted its expansion all over the world.

The INC, under the stewardship of INC Executive Minister Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, has now spread in 157 countries and territories.

The head of the INC overseas mission, Brother Joel San Pedro, said that Church is also sending more ministers to India to attend the growing membership there.

“The number of members of the Church Of Christ in India is increasing, as are the congregations and the Church Administration is sending more ministers to India to continue teaching the Church’s Bible-based message to take care of the brethren there,” he said.

After the courtesy call on the INC Executive Minister, Ambassador Mazumdar was warmly greeted by INC brethren waving flaglets of India and of the INC.
