President Danny Faure welcomed a delegation from the Seventh-Day Adventist Church of Seychelles at State House this afternoon.

The delegation led by Pastor Solofo Georges Jean Mesmert thanked the President for making the time to receive them at State House and conveyed the appreciation of the church for the continuous support from government and the consultative approach that exists between the church and government.

The meeting was an opportunity for the delegation to share the work of the church and some of the community-based activities currently in place dedicated as outreach for those at risk, including future plans to expand their outreach programme ‘Light House’ involving rehabilitation and counselling support.

During discussions, President Faure reaffirmed government’s commitment to maintaining strong relations with the Seven-Day Adventist Church and thanked them on behalf of the people of Seychelles for their work targeted at communities in need and empowering citizens.

Other members of the delegation included Pastor Norris Barra, Mr Hugh Watts, Mrs Natalie Edmond.
