For those who are unaware, Real Love Ministry (RLM) has 2 sections which are RLM Management (RLMM) and RLM Fellowship (RLMF). RLMM was started in 1999. It is a ministry that trains people to become befrienders to the Sexually Broken and the Deaf. Reverend Edmund Smith is the Director of RLMM. RLMF was started in 2006. It is a church. Pastor Amanda is the Senior Pastor of RLMF.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the 12th<\/sup> year of the Thanksgiving Fund-raising Dinner(TFD). RLM is first of all thankful to our Lord God Almighty for His faithfulness and provision throughout the year. RLM also wants to acknowledge the contributions of all who have partnered to make this Ministry and Fellowship successful.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, TFD started with a Song Entertainment by the Worship team. For nearly all items on the programme, there was sign language interpretation for the Deaf who had come to support (from outside Melaka as well).<\/span><\/p>\n

This was followed by the MCs welcome and the welcome speech by Pastor Amanda. The MCs were Annie & Terrance – RTM Celebrity Emcees.<\/span><\/p>\n
