Mara people will always cherish their names and remain thankful to the above precious names for their contributions to let them know the True God of Jehovah. The word of God from Romans is truly beautiful:

…How can they believe unless someone preaching to them….  As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” - Romans 10:15 & Isaiah 52:7.

Expressing the mood of the moment, one of the themes this time around is taken from Psalms 26:3

 The LORD has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.

Above all it is the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that saves Mara people. Thanks be to God the Almighty, forever. Amen.

Let us join Mara people in thanksgiving prayers for this meaningful and historical day.
