    By reading Daijiworld I am realizing Christians are very alive and active in Mangalore. There are lots of young people who participate and all of them seem to be eager to be close to GOD. When you go to church in the city where I live you will meet around 80percent old people who are involved in the parishes. It is encouraging to see the spirit of God among the Christians in Mangalore. I wish you the best! Regards Kurt
