Works

None of the Communities of the Fraternity are the same in their outreach and missionary endeavours. Each operates within the social, economic and cultural backgrounds of the countries in which they are located.

The thrust of local outreach works and missionary activities undertaken by the individual Communities is related to the needs of the peoples of the region. Many Communities are able to extend their activities not only locally but also nationally and internationally.

Following is a sample list of evangelistic and social activities undertaken by various member Communities throughout the world.
