Dear Patron 1.

The School Is Part of Your Mission Field!


The holidays are a golden opportunity—not just for rest but for reflection. As patrons, you have the unique front-row seat in influencing, guiding, and discipling these young souls. Yes, our beloved teenagers who seem more interested in TikTok than testimonies! But don’t let the noise fool you; in less than 10 years, they’ll be leaders in business, homes, and all sorts of spaces we can’t yet imagine.


The weight of that responsibility is real. How they live, love, and lead tomorrow will be shaped by how we minister to them today. They’re watching, learning, and absorbing everything we do, whether we realize it or not.


So, as you enjoy the holiday, take time to ask yourself some key questions about the ministry:


- What do you need to START doing? Maybe there’s a fresh approach or activity you’ve been wanting to try but haven’t yet. Pray and go for it.

  

- What do you need to STOP doing? Let’s be honest: not every program is a hit. What’s not adding value? Put a stop to it.


- What needs to CHANGE? Sometimes, small tweaks make a world of difference.


- What needs to CONTINUE? What’s working well? Let’s keep building on that.


I’ll dive deeper into these questions, and hopefully, we’ll get a clearer roadmap for the coming term in the next blog. For now, keep these points in mind as you rest, reflect, and recharge.

Blessings as you evaluate yourself and the ministry in your space. Remember, the seeds you plant today will bear fruit tomorrow—maybe even in ways you can’t yet imagine!

When the firstborn dies.

Everything Changes When a Firstborn Dies. Today, I found myself reflecting on ancient Egypt—specifically, during the reign of the Pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph (Exodus 1:8). It was a time of great power, but also of great sorrow, especially when things took a tragic turn. Now, you might know the story, but let's revisit it a bit. Joseph, the shepherd boy and his father’s favorite, found himself in a bit of a pickle. His brothers, tired of his dreams and his fancy coat, sold him off to some merchants. These merchants then sold Joseph as a slave in Egypt. Fast forward a few years, and our boy Joseph had climbed the ranks in Egypt, from slave to leader. He was well-known, respected, and even had a family. Then, a severe drought struck, and Egypt, under Joseph’s brilliant management, became the region’s breadbasket. It’s said that the grain stores were so full that they stopped keeping records (Genesis 41:49). This abundance attracted people from all over, including Joseph’s own...

Key Tips for Success Consistency Over Perfection: If you miss a day, don’t give up. Use the lighter weekends to catch up. Break It Down: Split the daily chapters into smaller portions (e.g., morning and evening readings). Use Audio Bibles: If you're too tired to read, listen to the chapters while driving, cooking, or relaxing. Journal Your Journey: Note one insight or question per day to deepen understanding and engagement. Accountability Groups: Form a small Bible study group to stay motivated and share reflections. - Week 1 (Jan 1–7):   Mon: Genesis 1–4     Tue: Genesis 5–8     Wed: Genesis 9–12     Thu: Genesis 13–16     Fri: Genesis 17–20     Sat: Genesis 21–22     Sun: Genesis 23–24   - Week 2 (Jan 8–14):   Mon: Genesis 25–28     Tue: Genesis 29–32     Wed: Genesis 33–36     Thu: Genesis 37–40     Fri: Genesis 41–4...

Praying for the physically ill.

Image
Whenever we have a loved one not feeling well, admitted in hospital or maybe even in a critical condition according to the medics, prayer can become hard. We get to a point of prayer fatigue (I first heard that term from a friend called Sarah) and if things are not handled well, we may end up praying amiss as James describes it. I have highlighted the WE sections to emphasize the value of prayer of unity. However, if you're praying while alone, you still are not alone. Believers pray in the company of other believers seen or unseen. That's why our Lord taught us to pray "our father" and not my father. We're never alone in the place of prayer. May this guide help you pray for yourself, your loved one, friend or a friend to a friend. Pray in the spirit and with understanding. 1. Praying for God's Will to Be Done In Mark 1:40-42, a man with leprosy came to Jesus and said, "If you are willing, you can make me clean." Jesus responded, "I am willing....
