The Thirteenth Sabbath Offering 4th quarter

Southern Asia Division – India

The name “India” is derived from the river Indus.  Around 3300 BC, people settled in the fertile Indus Valley, part of which is in modern India, making the world’s oldest and largest continuous civilization.

 

India has the largest postal system in the world, with more than 150,000 post offices – three time the size of that of China.  It also has a floating post office on Dal Lake in Srinagar.  Located on a houseboat, it also includes a (post stamp) museum.

 

Part of this quarter’s Thirteenth Sabbath Offering will help construct a new church in Amritsar. Thank you for planning a generous offering.
