ReplyDeleteઆ એક એવી ઐતિહાસિક ક્ષણ છે કે જેમાં પ્રથમવાર નખશીખ ગુજરાતી ઇસુસંઘીને "પ્રોવિન્સિઅલ" બનવાનું માન અને ગૌરવ મળ્યું છે. આપ જયારે વિચક્ષણ બુદ્ધિ પ્રતિભા ધરાવતા અને સ્વપ્નદ્રષ્ટા વ્યક્તિ તરીકેની ઓળખ પ્રસ્થાપિત કરી ચૂક્યા છે ત્યારે આપની આગેવાનીમાં ગુજરાત ઇસુસંઘ ફૂલતો ફાલતો સાચી દિશામાં આગળ વધતો રહેશે અને અમને પણ એના મીઠા ફળ ચાખવા મળશે એમાં કોઈ શંકાને સ્થાન નથી.
શુભેચ્છાઓ સહ !
