Dear UECF family: Greetings in the most exalted Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Congratulations upon reaching an important milestone in the ministry that God has entrusted to your care. To God be the glory great things He has done. Lamentations:3:23 sums it up all “Great is God's faithfulness”. Fifteen years of faithful service to God and mankind. It is praise worthy but never be content with what had been accomplished so far. To quote from Joshua “there is yet much land to be conquered”. Yes indeed. There is so much more to be done for the cause of Christ specially because of the existing times that we are living in. Just look at the events of the world today. Nations are crumbling financially, governments are overthrown, possibility of war in the middle east, famines, pestilences, natural calamities etc. The stage is being clearly set for the second coming of Christ. We can't evangelize once He comes back. So you have your work cut out in this area. So be like Paul “forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those which are before, press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus”. God speed to you as you go about doing this. We share your joy on this special occasion. Your exploits for the Lord makes us particularly happy because the founding fathers of UECF were originally members of TCF NJ. So we enjoy a very special relationship with you. May God bless you even more in the years ahead. Co-laborers in the Lord's vineyard.

Dear UECF Family, With thanksgiving in my heart, I praise the Lord for United Evangelical Christian Fellowship (UECF) upon reaching a significant milestone of 15 years of Service to the Lord! A seed sown fifteen years ago by the founders of this fellowship has grown in the Spirit and has become a big tree whose branches serve as a source of inspiration not only in the USA but also in India and many corners of the globe. Ever since the first service in 1997, UECF has been a place of worship for many families in New Jersey and the neighboring states. With a strong desire to serve the Lord and commitment to share the faith and culture, thus far, UECF left a positive impact on the lives of many. I am grateful to God for using me as an instrument to serve Him as the president of UECF from 2002 to 2007. During this crucial period, I have witnessed God's tremendous grace and mercy in sustaining and shaping me and the UECF as well. At this juncture, I commend the succeeding leadership for the dedication in taking up the mantle and expanding horizons and further reaching the greater heights. Organizing an Evangelistic outreach program with Dr. Ramesh Richard as part of 15 year celebration is much appreciated and shows UECF's commitment to evangelism. United Telugu Christian Fellowship of Virginia (UTCFVA) congratulates UECF on the auspicious occasion of 15th Anniversary celebration. We are thankful to the UECF choir for their active participation in the Annual Christian Family Conferences in Virginia. We pray that UECF will continue to serve as a vibrant spiritual home and be a blessing to many more in the years to come. May the spirit of the Lord enrich and lead UECF as you continue the cause of Great Commission given to us by our Savior Jesus Christ (Mark 16:15)! Have a blessed and Spirit-filled celebration!

Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! It is our great honor and pleasure to congratulate you on the 15th Anniversary of United Evangelical Christian Fellowship. God has richly blessed your ministry, planting its seed in the beginning, nurturing the vision and blessing it abundantly as He heard your earnest prayers and honored your efforts. We are witnesses to the many blessings that God has bestowed upon your ministry, and to the many blessings received by those benefitting from your work through weekly services, in yearly participation in the Indian Independence Day Parade, and in inviting anointed preachers from India and around the world. In particular, we congratulate and honor you for the wonderful resource found in uecf.net, which is the premier Indian Christian Fellowship site where sermons, testimonies, and songs can be heard and enjoyed freely in numerous languages and dialects. It has helped capture Indian Christian culture and provided a means to share Christ through a universal medium. It has brought many to the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His loving power to transform lives, and we hope and pray that it will continue to do so. We at United Telugu Christian Fellowship praise God for the work UECF has done over the past 15 years and we hope and pray that God would continue to use your ministry mightily for His glory. We look forward to working with you for many years to come by God's Grace and for His glory alone. In His Service, Devanivas Gandham Executive General Secretary

Dear UECF Family, Greetings to you in the name of our savior Jesus Christ. I praise God for giving me an opportunity to worship and bring God's word at the UECF worship service. I thank God for your partnership with and support for Andhra Christian Theological College, Hyderabad, India. On behalf of the Chairperson, Members of the Governing Board, Faculty, Staff and Students I congratulate UECF and praise God for your successful ministry for the Telugu Christians and by the Telugu Christians for the past fifteen years. Our prayers are for your ministry in the future. Your website is a comprehensive one and a ready resource for spiritual edification of all Telugu Christians and others. Your archiving of the Andhra Christian Hymnal and other songs is a great achievement, God's blessings on you as you continue to do it. Introducing and upholding various committed God's servants and their ministry is much appreciated. Training Sunday school children in the Bible is noteworthy at UECF and efforts to propagate the same in other Sunday schools could be taken up as mission. We praise God for your versatile ministries. Wishing God's blessings on UECF as you continue to witness to the saving knowledge of our savior Jesus Christ
