Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

PERMAI-BC would like to wish Merry Christmas to Christians everywhere, especially in British Columbia. Christians all over the world celebrate this single life that changed the world and continues to change hearts today. The simple and inspiring story of the birth of Jesus Christ shows a solid gratitude for the many blessings in people's lives and promises a message of peace and brotherhood.

We thank God for giving us the opportunity to end this year with many accomplishments and we look forward to embracing year 2010 with some great new plans and a strong desire to implement them successfully.

At this special time of year, we give thanks for Christmas's message of love, sacrifice and mercy, and we are constantly reminded of our responsibility to promote the beauty of Indonesian culture, preserve cultural diversity, maintain the value of hospitality and give back to communities. We thank all of you for your continued support and we wish you all the best in 2010.


Sincerely,
