New Delhi: This issue of “PRAISE THE ALMIGHTY” marks the successful completion of this newspaper’s ten years in circulation.

PRAISE THE ALMIGHTY was born in 1999 in the heart of Pastor M K Babu, who was then a businessman in south Delhi. Under his able leadership, a small team of committed Christians battled all odds to give shape to the initial issues. Over the past 10 years, God has been extremely faithful to this ministry.  Because of God’s mercy, not a single issue has been missed since its inception. We thank God for enabling us to expose the sufferings of Christians around the world and to keep you informed of the news and events. 

There is no dearth of Christian newsletters, newspapers and magazines. While many a newspaper dies a natural death, it is the consistent interest that you, as a reader, has shown us that has kept us going ahead.  We thank you for your patronage, prayers and cooperation that has been key to the success of this publication.  The editorial team is grateful to all who served this cause as honorary editors, managers, DTP and graphic designers, contributors, advertisers, well-wishers and subscribers. We are also grateful to critics and all those who sent in their feedback. We appreciate your continued encouragement.

Praise the Almighty thrives on the firm belief that Christians are united in the gospel and has consistently provided a medium for mutual understanding, respect and unity.  Although we identify ourselves as belonging to different denominations and groups due to various historical reasons, we are united in the Lord.  Our unity and awareness in the wake of increased opposition to the gospel and an intolerance towards religious diversity will strengthen us all the more.

To mark the beginning of the 10th anniversary celebrations, a meeting was held on February the sixth, 2009 at the Delhi Diocesan Community Hall, 1 Ashoka Place, New Delhi - 110001. Many honourable dignitaries and distinguished Christian leaders graced this occasion.  We have published a Souvenir-cum-Directory to commemorate this occasion. Further, we intend to honour a select number of senior Christian leaders who have been used mightily by God in and around Delhi by the end of this year.

God has given us a vision to expand this ministry, and so from this issue onwards you will see a notable expansion of the newspaper including a switch from a 12 page to 24 page edition. Furthermore, the frequency of the publication will be increased from monthly to fortnightly. Steps will also be taken in due course to circulate the newspaper widely by hand in the churches in New Delhi.  Complimentary copies will be sent regularly to the Cabinet Ministers, Members of Parliament, political and key party leaders and all Christian organisations and church leaders.
