Transformation — Stepping into the New Year with God
Isaiah 43:19 — “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
A new year is more than a date on the calendar — it is an opportunity to experience God’s transforming work in our lives. God reminds us that He is always at work, bringing renewal, healing, and refreshing beginnings.
A young man once decided that instead of making many resolutions, he would simply begin each day of the new year with a short prayer and a passage from the Bible. Over time, he noticed a quiet transformation taking place within him — peace began to guide his decisions, his character grew stronger, and he found courage during difficult moments. His life changed not through his own strength, but through daily dependence on God.
As we step into this new year, God invites us to leave behind past failures, regrets, and fears. He calls us to trust Him with our future and to walk in obedience, one day at a time. When we commit our plans to the Lord, He shapes our hearts, renews our minds, and equips us for every good work.
May this year be a season of spiritual growth — a year of faith, transformation, and renewed hope as we walk closely with God.
Lord, thank You for the gift of a new year. Help me surrender my plans to You, trust Your leading, and walk in Your ways each day. Transform my heart and use my life for Your purpose. Amen.

SMALL GROUPS
General Groups
In December, the Chosen Ones group began planning for the upcoming year’s monthly seminars under the Conscientia banner. However, due to individual commitments in their churches and educational institutions, the group was unable to conduct a seminar or meet-up this month.
Nevertheless, the group remains committed to organizing regular monthly seminars in the coming year and looks forward to another season of growth and meaningful engagement. Please continue to remember the group in your prayers as they prepare for the year ahead.
During the Christmas season, most members were engaged with personal, academic, and family commitments. As a result, the group was unable to convene for its scheduled meeting this month. We request continued prayers for all members of the Truth Seekers group, particularly for their spiritual growth, well-being, and God’s guidance in the days ahead.
As we come to the close of this year, we thank God for His provision, guidance, and abundant grace through every season — both the ups and downs. As a group, we have cherished our time together, shared our challenges, encouraged one another, and have grown in fellowship throughout the year.
We continue to rely on God and look forward with hope and expectation for the good things He has prepared for us in 2026. We thank God for all His blessings in 2025 and pray for more meaningful times of learning, growth, and togetherness in the coming year — in our lives, families, and fellowship.
During the month of December, the Living Epistles group met twice online and once offline on 30/12/2025. In their meetings, they have reflected on where they currently stand in different areas of their lives and discussed the changes they would like to make in order to grow and improve — even if by just 1% each day.
The offline gathering provided valuable time for deeper bonding, better understanding, and mutual support, thereby enabling them to pray for one another more meaningfully. As a group, they desire to continue growing together and have also decided to begin quantifying their growth to track their progress in the coming year. They look forward to seeing how this journey unfolds.
Due to the busy month of December, with Christmas and New Year preparations and various commitments of the group members, the Paul–Timothy Group was able to meet only once, on 6th December. The session focused on the theme “God is Love.”
The group engaged in a meaningful and reflective discussion, sharing perspectives on how God’s love is understood across cultures, countries, and generations. The conversation explored the nature of unconditional love, how people experience and express it, and how it relates to the human condition.
Further reflection included discussions on the nature of sin and the root cause of evil, tracing the origins of sin from the events in the Garden of Eden, and how this understanding shapes one’s view of God’s redemptive love.
Testimony
PBYP Small Groups
Due to the Christmas season, many members were engaged with work, family, and church activities, so both the men’s and women’s PBYP groups were unable to meet this month. However, informal connections and personal follow-ups continued during this period, helping members stay encouraged and connected.
We look forward to resuming our regular gatherings in January 2026, beginning the new year with renewed focus, fresh learning, and deeper commitment to spiritual growth, accountability, and mutual support within the group.
