The Legacy We Leave
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” — Pericles
Every day we are building a legacy. Wealth may be inherited, but wisdom, compassion, and opportunity are intentionally passed from one generation to the next.
The greatest inheritance we can offer is not merely resources but hope, education, values, and encouragement that empower others to flourish.
Challenge: Consider what legacy your daily decisions are creating.
SPONSORSHIP
Education Sponsorship Impact (2025–2026) & Vision for 2026–2027
Their achievements reflect remarkable perseverance in the face of adversity:
Houriya Begum, who did not let her parents’ separation stop her from successfully completing her Class 10 examinations, securing 65%.
Bhuneshwar, a Class 1 student abandoned by his father, continued his education with determination and achieved 84%.
Mokshitha, daughter of a doubting and irresponsible father, who left the family, scored 81% in Class 4, while supporting her single mother and caring for her younger brother.
Rishika overcame significant family challenges to secure 85%, moving one step closer to her dream of becoming self-dependent.
Muskan, our continuing scholarship recipient, completed Class 9 with an impressive 84%.
Building on this momentum, we are moving forward to provide 10 scholarship applications for the 2026–2027 academic year. Following a thorough assessment of each applicant’s educational potential and financial circumstances, we approved scholarships for 4 deserving students so far. These students come from families facing severe socioeconomic hardships but demonstrate exceptional determination to pursue their education. Through these scholarships, we seek not only to support their academic aspirations but also to ease the financial burden on their families.
Collaboration to Do More
Looking ahead, we are delighted to announce our collaboration with the Adhyapana Foundation, a strategic partnership that will significantly expand our educational outreach. Together, we anticipate supporting approximately 60 students (50 from Adhyapana and 10 from Stewards of Nations) during the 2026–2027 academic year. We provide human resources and they provide financial assistance.
SEMINAR
Skopós Seminar 2026
The Skopós Seminar, held from 23–25 May 2026, equipped 8 participants to discover their Creator-endowed purpose through the SHAPE framework—understanding their numinous Gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality, and Experiences. Through thanksgiving, teaching sessions, discussions, reflection activities, and supplications, participants developed meaningful life goals, strategies, competencies, and practical plans for purposeful living.
The seminar also provided training in leadership, communication, and goal setting, empowering participants to confidently pursue their calling. A total of 15 individuals, including participants, volunteers, and speakers, took part over the three-day program. The seminar fostered spiritual growth, personal reflection, stronger fellowship, and greater confidence to lead lives of purpose and impact.
Marriage Preparation Seminar
Stewards of Nations successfully conducted a two-day Marriage Preparation Seminar on 26–27 June 2026 at Ashirward Global Learning Centre, Ghatkesar, equipping 39 participants with a stronger Scriptural understanding of marriage and practical skills for building healthy, Creator-envisioned relationships. Including facilitators and volunteers, 45 individuals were involved in the programme. The seminar was designed to prepare young adults for marriage through thanksgiving, meditations, interactive teaching sessions, group discussions, Q&A sessions, and personal reflection.
Key sessions covered Marriage as Creator Intended, Premarital Expectations, Roles and Responsibilities, Male and Female Differences, Understanding Divine Will in Marriage, Communication, Sex and Sexuality, and Bride–Groom Hunting. Participants learned the importance of trust, communication, servant leadership, numinous maturity, wise decision-making, and mutual respect in marriage.
The seminar encouraged spiritual growth, personal reflection, and greater confidence in preparing for lifelong commitment. Many participants expressed that the programme clarified their doubts, strengthened their understanding of the Creator’s design for marriage, and provided practical tools for building healthy and purposeful relationships. The event successfully combined Scriptural teaching with practical life preparation, creating a supportive environment for young adults to grow in conviction, character, and readiness for marriage.
Mentoring Groups
Small Groups
During the month, the small groups continued to provide mutual encouragement, accountability, and personal growth despite varying levels of activity. The Chosen Ones group was unable to meet due to members’ personal commitments but continued pursuing personal numinous growth and requested supplications for encouragement and steadfast conviction. The Truth Seekers group met virtually on 25 June to study “Guard Your Heart” (Proverbs), reflecting on numinous disciplines and requesting intercessions for continued spiritual growth, well-being, and God’s guidance. Kadosh Sarang members reconnected through a phone call to share life updates, encourage one another through seasons of depression and loneliness, and intercede together, finding strength and hope through fraternity and divine provision. The Timothy–Paul group met virtually on 7 June to share updates, celebrate answered prayers, and intercede for members’ examinations, education, and personal milestones. Meanwhile, the Living Epistles group met twice online to share life updates, witnesses, and chain intercessions, encouraging one another through work, examinations, and personal challenges while growing in conviction and requesting intercessions for numinous growth, families, marriages, services, and other responsibilities.
PBYP Groups
The PBYP Men’s and Women’s Groups met once this month, and completed lessons on sexual relationships and spiritual growth through biblical teaching, discussions, and personal reflection. Participants gained a deeper understanding of healthy relationships, purity, spiritual discipline, and the importance of growing closer to God through prayer and obedience to His Word. The PBYP Small Group Final Gathering, held on 24 May 2026, brought together 13 participants, including facilitators, coordinators, and a guest speaker, for a time of worship, testimonies, discussions, and a message on marriage and God’s will. The gathering encouraged participants to pursue God-centred relationships, prepare prayerfully for marriage, shift their focus from merely finding the right spouse to becoming the right person, strengthen their commitment to purity and spiritual maturity, and seek God’s guidance in every stage of their relationships and future responsibilities.
Further Update of PBYP Groups
After the successful completion of PBYP June 2026, we have invited the participants to register for the PBYP Small Groups. We plan to begin the workbook discussion this month; based on the number of registrations received we plan to create two groups and facilitate them into groups for the course of Prepare Before You Promise.
Ministry Updates
We praise the Oversoul for the successful Skopós Seminar and the Marital Preparation Seminar, which became powerful opportunities for learning, encouragement, fraternity, and spiritual growth. We are deeply grateful for His continual faithfulness in opening doors to serve, transform lives, and advance His work through this service.
Supplication Points
Intercede that we would be able to raise generous partners to sponsor the confirmed students for this academic year 2026-27, providing every resource needed for them to pursue their education with confidence and hope.
Our small group members would continue to grow in numinous maturity, encourage one another in conviction, and become divine-like influences within their families and communities.
Our new groups would form a beautiful bond among themselves and begin this journey to learning and experiencing new perspectives as we initiate the two new groups for the year 2026.
Divine wisdom, unity, strength, and provision for our team as we continue serving with excellence and expanding the service impact.
