After months of anticipation, the Big Day finally arrived! The NECF 25th Anniversary Banquet at Menara PGRM, Cheras was a smashing success by conventional standards. Despite a slow start, all 130 tables were taken up. The atmosphere was electric. As a picture speaks a thousand words, here’s a pictorial report.

Juwita Suweto sang for us – and this was decided only after she turned up at the event!

Joni Eareckson Tada – of course, she’s the one we were dying to hear. (A summary of her message is found on pages 5-6.) Joni closed with a beautiful and touching song.

Former NECF Chairman Rev. Datuk
Prince Guneratnam gave the Benediction. But before that, he took the opportunity to ask if anyone wanted to accept Christ that night. And some responded! He truly has a shepherd’s heart!
