“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” — Psalm 133:1 (KJV)
To all the beloved Archbishops, Bishops, Priests, Executive Lay Leaders, and Fellow Brethren across the CEEC, ACI, and our extended International Communion,
Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I write to you with a heart full of joy and reverence, as I behold the divine handiwork God is weaving through our communion. The sacred assembly displayed through the photos on this site—of consecrated servants and committed leaders—stands as a testament to the Holy Spirit’s call for oneness, unity, and holy purpose.
Let us remember the words of our Lord Jesus in John 17:21: “That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me.”
In a time when the world is fragmented and broken, the Church must rise in oneness, not in formality but in fervent spiritual unity, to build the Kingdom of God. We are not called to serve in isolation, but to stand shoulder to shoulder—as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, and lay leaders—strengthening the Body of Christ with one heart and one purpose.
“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” — Romans 12:5
Let us cast aside every division and embrace the greater call of our divine commission. The ministry we bear is not our own—it is the Lord’s. And His desire is that we work together in love, in holiness, and in boldness to proclaim the Gospel, disciple nations, and shepherd souls.
We are co-laborers with Christ. Together, let us:
* Build His Church, rooted in truth and grace.
* Serve with humility, washing the feet of saints and strangers alike.
* Guard the faith, contending earnestly for what was once delivered unto the saints.
* Pray fervently, that the fire of revival would burn from generation to generation.
As we serve under the banner of GAFCON-ABCI, may our fellowship be a holy fragrance, our unity a divine witness, and our mission a beacon of light in this present age.
I thank God for each of you. Let us move forward—not as scattered voices, but as a choir of saints declaring, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
With pastoral love and apostolic blessing,
In Christ’s Service,
++ John Sathiyakumar
