When we record our history we leave an account of our work for future generations. The LSG has a duty to tell our story regarding the work done on behalf of the Honourable Elijah Muhammad, Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, in the UK. Despite the trials, past and present, LSG Believers love the Word and the responsibilities that come with it. 2015 was a year where the LSG strengthened its foundation. Our ties and affiliations with our extended family in the UK and abroad, grew stronger. The LSG recognise that there is still a long way for us to go, to reach and rescue members of our family. May Allah continue to Bless us all to do greater work in the year 2016 and beyond and continue to work cheerfully. Editor Left Sister Diane Caballer and top right Sister Celestine Muhammad.
