In CLASFON, we believe the law is a vital arena for witnessing and discipling. We are committed to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, and our meetings and fellowships are meant to enhance our spiritual and professional actions as well as provide a forum for encouraging one another. It is better experienced than imagined.
