Setting Free a White Dove Marks the Opening of a New Bridge of Hope Center

Believers Church Kolkata Diocese inaugurated a new Bridge of Hope center on the 9th of August.

Bishop Dr. Juria Bardhan declared the center open by cutting a ribbon and setting free a white dove. Despite bad weather conditions, more than 600 villagers had assembled for the event.
