James 1:17 reminds us, “Every good and perfect gift is from above.”
Christmas is a season when we remember God’s greatest gift — Jesus — given to us out of love. When we give, we reflect God’s heart. A family decided to celebrate Christmas differently. Instead of spending everything on decorations and big meals, they prepared food packets and distributed them to people living on the streets. The smiles and gratitude they witnessed brought them more joy than any gift they could have received.
This shows that true Christmas joy is found not in what we get, but in how we share God’s love with others. May we open our hearts this season, giving generously and blessing someone in need — just as God has blessed us.
Lord, help us to share joy and love this Christmas, so others may see You through my giving. Amen.

SEMINAR
Conscientia
On 29th November 2025, the 8th Conscientia seminar of the year was held online on “The 5 Love Languages.” Mr. Swamy Das explained the five love languages—Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch—and shared practical examples. The 18 participants reflected on their own and others’ love languages, participated in discussions, and learned strategies to improve communication and strengthen relationships. The session was well-received, with attendees appreciating its relevance and practical insights for personal and relational growth.
SMALL GROUPS
General Groups
In the month of November, the group, Chosen Ones, conducted a seminar called “The 5 Love Languages.” Led by Mr. Swamy Das Ponaganti, the session helped participants understand the different ways people express and receive love, aiming to strengthen personal, family, and community relationships.
The group also met to celebrate a special occasion of one of their mutuals and enjoyed a time of fellowship together. Please continue to pray for their growth and activities.
In November, the Truth Seekers group engaged in meaningful fellowship, sharing personal experiences and praying for one another. Additionally, individual mentoring sessions took place to provide further encouragement and support. Due to members’ schedules, the planned book reading has been postponed to the following month. This month’s key takeaway highlights the strength found in godly fellowship: “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” — Hebrews 10:24–25. The organization continues to pray for the spiritual growth and unity of this group.
This month, the group met online twice, using the time to share updates and gradually reconnect. One member is preparing for marriage; please pray for the couple and their future together. Other members are slowly settling into their professions, navigating different life phases, and learning through their experiences. The organization continues to pray for their growth, stability, and encouragement in all areas of life.
Living Epistles, formed on 21/10/2025, aims to journey together as disciples of Jesus Christ, pursuing holistic growth and spiritual transformation. The group has been engaging in online meetings to share personal updates across relational, financial, spiritual, vocational, and physical areas, helping members identify areas for growth. They have also begun practicing positive habits, such as daily 20-minute walks, and plan regular online and physical meetings. Continued prayer is requested for consistency, discipline, and unity as the group grows together in their spiritual journey.
The Paul-Timothy group, formed as an extension of the Stewards Leadership Summit, is in its initial stage of discipleship. Members are engaging in fellowship, prayer, and discussions on spiritual topics, such as the holiness of God. While meetings have been limited due to personal commitments, the group shows promise through active participation and growing maturity. Continued prayer is requested for stronger bonding among members, consistent attendance, and ongoing spiritual growth.
Small Groups Gathering
Small Groups Gathering was held on 25th November 2025 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, with 16 members attending. The session aimed to foster fellowship, identify spiritual stumbling blocks, and encourage dependence on God. Activities included worship, interactive discussions, and group sharing, helping members connect and reflect on their Christian journey.
Groups shared updates on their fellowship, and the engaging activities conducted in the gathering illustrated the importance of relying on God’s strength in daily life. Members discussed practical Christian living, reflecting on choices that affect spiritual growth, and prayed for one another’s challenges. The gathering concluded with a group photo and fellowship dinner, providing time for relationship strengthening and community building.
PBYP Small Groups
This month, the PBYP Men’s Group met four times and explored three central themes: Expectations Before Marriage, God’s Plan for Marriage, and Different Yet Equal. Through these gatherings, participants developed a clearer biblical understanding of relationships. The discussions emphasized the importance of expressing expectations openly, maintaining flexibility, and keeping God as the foundation of every relationship.
The group also examined God’s design for marriage—Leave, Cleave, and Become One—which provided deeper insight into the responsibilities of forming a new household, the need for unity, and the significance of intimacy within marriage. The topic Different Yet Equal further helped participants appreciate the unique qualities of men and women, encouraging respect, understanding, and gratitude for their partner’s individuality.
Overall, the month’s gatherings strengthened the participants’ grasp of biblical principles and offered practical guidance for cultivating mature, stable, and Christ-centered relationships.
This month, the PBYP Women’s Group met five times, with five members attending regularly. We continued learning about God’s design for marriage through teaching and group discussions.
The lessons covered were:
- Expectations in Marriage — understanding personal expectations and recognizing that only God can fully meet our deepest needs.
- Leaving & Cleaving / Becoming One & Intimacy — learning that marriage requires forming a new primary bond with the spouse, and that unity and intimacy grow gradually through trust and communication.
- Different Yet Equal & Abuse Awareness — emphasizing equal value of husband and wife as God’s creation and the need to reject any form of abuse in marriage.
Participants were actively involved through sharing, reflection, and prayer. The sessions helped deepen understanding of a godly marriage built on love, respect, and unity.
