- Environmental Conservation and Sustainability Initiatives in Malawi
Environmental Conservation and Sustainability Initiatives in Malawi Report by Archbishop Victor K. Phiri, Jehovah Saints of Malawi The Jehovah Saints Advocacy in Malawi continues to champion the biblical mandate to care for God’s creation through impactful environmental conservation and sustainability initiatives . Inspired by the Word of God in Genesis 2:15 , which says: “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it,” the Jehovah Saints are actively promoting environmental stewardship , tree planting , and sustainable practices in schools and communities across Malawi. Tree Planting: A Commitment to Creation Care One of the most significant initiatives is the tree-planting program , which directly addresses deforestation, climate change, and environmental degradation. This effort is a collaborative project involving schools , community members , and volunteers who share a passion for preserving God’s creation. An Incredible Contribution: Through the generosity of volunteers, the Jehovah Saints have received a remarkable 7,000,000 trees for planting. These trees are distributed to schools and communities to restore degraded land, improve local ecosystems, and create a healthier environment for future generations. Community Engagement: The initiative actively involves students, teachers, and local residents , fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility for the environment. The tree-planting events provide an opportunity for education on the importance of conservation, as well as a time of fellowship and unity. Biblical Foundations for Environmental Stewardship God’s Call to Care for the Earth The Bible teaches us that the earth is the Lord’s, and humanity has been entrusted as stewards to care for and protect it for His glory. Genesis 1:28: “God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.’” Psalm 24:1: “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” The Role of Trees in God’s Creation Trees are a vital part of God’s creation, symbolizing life, growth, and healing. Planting trees is a tangible way to honor God and restore balance to the environment. Isaiah 41:19-20: “I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive. I will set junipers in the wasteland, the fir and the cypress together, so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this.” Revelation 22:2: “On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.” Sustainability and Generational Responsibility God calls us to use the earth’s resources wisely, ensuring that they are preserved for future generations. Sustainability is a biblical principle that reflects our accountability as stewards of His creation. Leviticus 25:23-24: “The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers. Throughout the land that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption of the land.” Proverbs 12:10: “The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.” Impact of the Initiative The Jehovah Saints’ tree-planting program is making a significant impact in Malawi by: Combating Deforestation: Restoring green spaces and reducing the effects of deforestation. Improving Air Quality: Trees absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, contributing to cleaner air. Enhancing Biodiversity: Providing habitats for wildlife and supporting ecosystems. Educating Communities: Raising awareness about environmental conservation and sustainability. Fostering Unity: Bringing people together to work toward a common goal of preserving God’s creation. A Testament to God’s Faithfulness This initiative is a powerful expression of faith in action, demonstrating that caring for the environment is an integral part of our worship and obedience to God. As Colossians 3:23 reminds us: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” The Jehovah Saints of Malawi are leading by example, showing that even small acts, like planting a tree, can have a lasting impact for generations to come. Archbishop Victor K. Phiri and the Jehovah Saints Advocacy in Malawi are answering God’s call to care for His creation. Through partnerships with schools, communities, and volunteers, they are helping to restore the environment and inspire others to take action. As Galatians 6:9 encourages us: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” May these efforts continue to flourish, bringing glory to God and hope to His creation.

Whether in large cities or small towns, the body of Christ gathers to worship, learn, and grow in faith.

- Report from Faisalabad: Growth in Biblical Understanding
Report from Faisalabad: Growth in Biblical Understanding President Shahid Saleem of Jehovah Saints Pakistan reports an inspiring gathering in Faisalabad, where theologians and leaders deepened their knowledge of God’s Word. Reverend David from New York visited and shared valuable insights on how to conduct proper exegesis of the Bible. His teaching emphasized the importance of understanding Scripture in its historical, cultural, and spiritual context. The gathering was enriched further as theologians from Faisalabad also participated, contributing their wisdom and perspectives. Together, the group explored how to faithfully interpret and teach the Word of God, ensuring that the message of Scripture remains pure and transformative. This meeting was a powerful example of iron sharpening iron, as described in Proverbs 27:17 : "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Key Lessons from the Gathering The Importance of Proper Exegesis Reverend David emphasized that exegesis is essential for understanding the Bible accurately. By studying the original context and meaning of Scripture, we ensure that we rightly divide the Word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 : "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." Learning from One Another The theologians from Faisalabad brought their own insights, creating an atmosphere of mutual learning. This collaboration reflects the biblical principle of humility and unity in the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13 : "So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." The Power of Fellowship The gathering demonstrated the strength that comes from believers coming together to study God’s Word. It was a reminder that spiritual growth often happens in community. Hebrews 10:24-25 : "And 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." The gathering in Faisalabad was a testament to the global and local body of Christ working together to grow in faith and understanding. President Shahid Saleem expressed gratitude for Reverend David’s visit and for the contributions of the Faisalabad theologians. This meeting not only deepened their understanding of Scripture but also strengthened their commitment to faithfully teaching and living out God’s Word. Let us remember the words of Psalm 119:105 : "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." May gatherings like this continue to illuminate the path for believers in Pakistan and around the world. Conclusion: Join Us in Bringing Hope to the Homeless At Jehovah Saints, we are committed to being the hands and feet of Christ by providing safe shelters, warm meals, and hope to those in need.

- Jehovah Saints Ministry in Pakistan: Proclaiming the Name of Jehovah
Jehovah Saints Ministry in Pakistan: Proclaiming the Name of Jehovah In the city of Kasur, Pakistan , a humble gathering took place at the brick kiln, where Jehovah Saints Ministry brought the gospel to the poor and marginalized. Under the leadership of Evangelist Jamil Masih , the Word of God was preached, with a focus on the divine name "Jehovah," as revealed in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. This sacred name, appearing seven times in the KJV, holds profound significance as it encapsulates the power, authority, and presence of God. Let us delve into the Scriptures that unveil the divine name Jehovah , exploring its meaning and relevance for believers today. Sermon Theme: "The Divine Name – Unveiling Jehovah in Scripture" The name Jehovah is not just a title; it is a revelation of God's nature, His covenant relationship with His people, and His eternal authority. Let us examine the seven instances where the name Jehovah appears in the KJV , each revealing a unique aspect of God's character and His interaction with humanity. 1. Psalms 83:18 "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH , art the most high over all the earth." This verse declares the supremacy of Jehovah, whose name alone signifies His unparalleled authority over the earth. It reminds us that Jehovah is not one among many gods but the Most High , the Creator and Sustainer of all. Reflection: Jehovah is the ultimate authority in our lives. No matter the challenges we face, His power reigns supreme over all creation. 2. Isaiah 12:2 "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation." Here, the prophet Isaiah praises Jehovah as the source of salvation, strength, and deliverance. This verse encourages believers to trust in Jehovah without fear, knowing that He is both their protector and their joy. Reflection: Jehovah is not only our Savior but also our strength in times of weakness. In Him, we find courage and hope. 3. Exodus 6:3 "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them." In this passage, God reveals His name Jehovah to Moses, signifying a deeper understanding of His covenant relationship with Israel. While the patriarchs knew Him as God Almighty , the name Jehovah represents His personal and eternal commitment to His people. Reflection: Jehovah is a God who reveals Himself to His people in deeper and more personal ways as they walk with Him. 4. Isaiah 26:4 "Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength." Isaiah calls believers to place their trust in Jehovah, who provides everlasting strength . Unlike human strength, which fades, Jehovah's strength is eternal and unchanging. Reflection: When we feel weak or uncertain, we can rely on Jehovah's unshakable strength to sustain us. 5. Genesis 22:14 "And Abraham called the name of that place JEHOVAHjireh : as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen." Abraham names the place where God provided a ram for sacrifice Jehovah Jireh , meaning "The Lord Will Provide." This name signifies God's provision in times of need, even in the most desperate circumstances. Reflection: Jehovah is our provider. Just as He provided for Abraham, He will meet our needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). 6. Exodus 17:15 "And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it JEHOVAHnissi: " After a victorious battle against the Amalekites, Moses builds an altar and names it Jehovah Nissi , meaning "The Lord Is My Banner." This name reflects God's role as the one who fights for His people and gives them victory. Reflection: Jehovah is our banner of victory. When we face spiritual battles, we can trust Him to go before us and secure the victory. 7. Judges 6:24 "Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, and called it JEHOVAHshalom : unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites." After encountering the angel of the Lord, Gideon names the altar Jehovah Shalom , meaning "The Lord Is Peace." This name reveals Jehovah as the source of peace, even in times of turmoil and uncertainty. Reflection: Jehovah is our peace. In a world filled with chaos, we can find rest and assurance in His presence. The Significance of Jehovah in the King James Version The King James Version (KJV) preserves the sacred name Jehovah , allowing us to connect with the Almighty in a profound way. Unfortunately, many modern translations have replaced the name Jehovah with "Lord," losing some of the depth and specificity of this divine name. As believers, we are called to honor and proclaim the name Jehovah, recognizing its significance in revealing God's character and His covenant relationship with us. Application: Living in the Light of Jehovah's Name Trust in Jehovah's Authority: Acknowledge Him as the Most High over all the earth (Psalms 83:18). Rely on Jehovah's Strength: In times of weakness, draw from His everlasting strength (Isaiah 26:4). Rest in Jehovah's Peace: Let His presence bring you peace, even in the midst of life's storms (Judges 6:24). Celebrate Jehovah's Provision: Remember that He is your provider in every circumstance (Genesis 22:14). Proclaim Jehovah's Name: Share the significance of His name with others, just as the Jehovah Saints Ministry is doing in Pakistan. Closing Reflection The name Jehovah is a powerful reminder of God's covenant faithfulness, His provision, His peace, and His strength. As the Jehovah Saints Ministry continues to proclaim the gospel in Kasur, Pakistan , let us join them in honoring the name of Jehovah and sharing His love with a world in need. Closing Scripture and Prayer Scripture: "The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe." — Proverbs 18:10 Prayer: "Jehovah, we thank You for revealing Your name to us through Your Word. You are our strength, our peace, our provider, and our banner of victory. We ask that You bless the work of Jehovah Saints Ministry in Pakistan as they proclaim Your name to the poor and needy. May Your name be glorified in all the earth. In Jesus' name, Amen." Conclusion: Join Us in Bringing Hope to the Homeless At Jehovah Saints, we are committed to being the hands and feet of Christ by providing safe shelters, warm meals, and hope to those in need. Our mission to build homeless shelters around the world is inspired by Jesus’ words: “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:40).

- The Work of Jehovah's Saints in Malawi
The Work of Jehovah's Saints in Malawi Scriptural Foundation: "Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed." — Psalm 82:3 Reported by Jehovah Saints Archbishop of Malawi Victor K Phiri. About Mulanje District Mulanje District, located in the southern region of Malawi, is one of the areas where Jehovah's Saints are actively working to address severe poverty and its associated challenges. The district is home to approximately 10.6 million people , most of whom live in poverty and depend heavily on subsistence agriculture and the production and sale of charcoal for survival. Key Challenges in Mulanje District: Severe Poverty: The majority of the population struggles to meet basic needs, such as food, clean water, and education. Hunger is a persistent issue, and many households face food insecurity due to poor agricultural yields and limited resources. Scriptural Reference: "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." — Psalm 9:9 Water Crisis: Many people in Mulanje lack access to clean water. Women and children often travel long distances to fetch water, which takes time away from other productive activities. Scriptural Reference: "Whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward." — Matthew 10:42 Education Challenges: Children in Mulanje face significant barriers to accessing education, including: Long distances to secondary schools (up to 6 km). Lack of breakfast or proper nutrition, which affects their ability to learn. High dropout rates due to poverty and harmful cultural practices. Girls, in particular, are disproportionately affected, as traditional beliefs and practices often prioritize boys' education over girls’. Parents frequently leave the responsibility of raising children to teachers, further complicating the education system. Scriptural Reference: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it." — Proverbs 22:6 Harmful Cultural Practices: Early marriages, teenage pregnancies, and disempowerment of girls and boys are common in Mulanje. Girls are often denied access to quality education and are instead raised to be submissive and passive, perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality. Scriptural Reference: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." — Galatians 3:28 Impact of HIV/AIDS: HIV/AIDS continues to devastate families in the district, leaving children orphaned and households struggling to cope with the economic and social impacts. Scriptural Reference: "The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness." — Psalm 41:3 Gender Inequality: Harmful beliefs and practices limit girls' access to education, economic opportunities, and political participation. Families often sacrifice the education of girls due to cultural attitudes that prioritize boys' development. Scriptural Reference: "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute." — Proverbs 31:8 The Broader Context of Malawi Malawi, a landlocked nation in southeast Africa, faces significant challenges that affect its development and the well-being of its people. Poverty: Malawi ranks 174 out of 189 nations on the Human Development Index, making it one of the poorest countries in the world. Over 50% of the population lives in poverty , with 15% experiencing extreme poverty . The total population of Malawi is over 30 million people , the majority of whom live in rural areas. Scriptural Reference: "Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor." — Proverbs 22:9 Health Care and Sanitation: Many Malawians face major obstacles in accessing health care, clean water, and sanitation, particularly in rural areas like Mulanje. Disease and poverty are closely linked, with poor sanitation and lack of clean water contributing to the spread of illnesses. Scriptural Reference: "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give." — Matthew 10:8 Dependence on Agriculture: Approximately 80% of the population depends on subsistence agriculture for their livelihoods. Frequent droughts, floods, and poor soil quality make farming difficult, leaving many families struggling to produce enough food. Scriptural Reference: "The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands." — Deuteronomy 28:12 Tourism Potential: Despite its challenges, Malawi has potential for tourism, with attractions such as Mount Mulanje and Lake Malawi. Lake Malawi is known for its crystal-clear waters, colorful fish, and opportunities for boating and diving. Jehovah’s Saints’ Mission in Mulanje The Jehovah’s Saints are committed to improving the lives of the people in Mulanje District through spiritual, social, and economic interventions. Addressing Poverty and Hunger: Provide food aid and support sustainable agricultural practices to improve food security. Scriptural Reference: "If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday." — Isaiah 58:10 Promoting Education: Build schools and provide resources to reduce the distance children must travel to access education. Advocate for equal opportunities for boys and girls to attend school and succeed academically. Scriptural Reference: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." — Matthew 19:14 Empowering Girls and Boys: Challenge harmful cultural practices and promote gender equality through education and community engagement. Encourage families to prioritize the education and empowerment of all children. Scriptural Reference: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." — Genesis 1:27 Improving Access to Clean Water: Develop clean water projects to reduce the burden of fetching water and improve sanitation. Scriptural Reference: "They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water." — Isaiah 49:10 Providing Spiritual Support: Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to bring hope and healing to the people of Mulanje. Scriptural Reference: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free." — Luke 4:18 The work of Jehovah’s Saints in Mulanje District is rooted in their faith and commitment to serving the poor, empowering communities, and sharing the love of Christ. By addressing the challenges of poverty, education, gender inequality, and access to basic needs, they aim to bring lasting change to the people of Mulanje and beyond. Scriptural Encouragement: "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9 Conclusion: Join Us in Bringing Hope to the Homeless At Jehovah Saints, we are committed to being the hands and feet of Christ by providing safe shelters, warm meals, and hope to those in need.

- Report from Archbishop Victor K. Phiri of Jehovah Saints, Malawi
Report from Archbishop Victor K. Phiri of Jehovah Saints, Malawi Scripture Reference: "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." — Galatians 6:9-10 Message: Archbishop Victor K. Phiri of Jehovah Saints, Malawi , reports the following: "I started Jehovah Saints in Malawi last year during the time of Michael Hopkins, Chief Executive Officer of Jehovah Saints International. He appointed me as Archbishop over Malawi in 2024. From the time we started until now, we have successfully established three Jehovah Saints churches in Malawi. Currently, we have a total of 380 members . However, many of our members are facing a severe hunger crisis due to widespread poverty and drought. The lack of rainfall has caused maize crops to fail, leading to food shortages across the region. The situation is dire, and people are suffering greatly. I humbly ask for your prayers and support as I continue this important work in Malawi. I would be grateful if you could remember us and assist in any way possible. Please see the attached church photos to witness the progress of our ministry here in Malawi." Call to Action: Let us come together to support our brothers and sisters in Malawi during this challenging time. As the Word of God reminds us in Proverbs 19:17 , "Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed." Your prayers, encouragement, and assistance can make a significant difference in the lives of those in need. Closing Scripture: "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." — Matthew 25:40 Conclusion: Join Us in Bringing Hope to the Homeless At Jehovah Saints, we are committed to being the hands and feet of Christ by providing safe shelters, warm meals, and hope to those in need.

- "Jehovah Saints in Tanzania, President Samuel Macokebez: Being the Light of the World"
"Being the Light of the World: Sharing the Vision and Serving Others" Scripture: "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden." — Matthew 5:12-14 Introduction Today, we are reminded of our calling to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world . As believers, we are called to live in a way that reflects God's love, compassion, and truth. President Samuel Macokebe of Jehovah Saints in Tanzania recently shared a powerful testimony about sharing the vision of God's kingdom and serving those in need. His story serves as an example of what it means to live out the teachings of Jesus in a practical and impactful way. 1. Sharing the Vision of the Kingdom President Macokebe visited a different church to share the vision of the ministry. This act reflects the biblical principle of spreading the good news of the kingdom and encouraging unity among believers. Matthew 28:19-20: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Hebrews 10:24-25: "And 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." Sharing the vision of God's kingdom is not just about words; it is about inspiring others to join in the mission of advancing the gospel and living lives that glorify God. Application: Be bold in sharing your faith and the vision God has given you. Encourage and collaborate with other believers to advance God’s kingdom. 2. Serving Others in Their Time of Need During his visit, President Macokebe encountered a woman who was sick. The church prayed for her and provided financial assistance to help her access medical care and buy food. This act of compassion reflects the heart of Jesus, who calls us to care for "the least of these." Matthew 25:35-40: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. ... Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." James 2:15-17: "Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." The $60 given to the woman may not have been enough to meet all her needs, but it was a demonstration of love and compassion. Small acts of kindness can have a profound impact when done in the name of Jesus. Application: Look for opportunities to serve those in need, even if your resources are limited. Remember that no act of kindness is too small when it is done out of love for God and others. 3. Being the Light of the World The actions of President Macokebe and the church embody the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 5:12-14. As believers, we are called to shine the light of Christ through our words and actions. Isaiah 58:10: "If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday." Galatians 6:9-10: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." Being the light of the world means reflecting God's love and truth in a way that draws others closer to Him. It is not just about what we say but how we live. Application: Live in a way that reflects God’s love and compassion to those around you. Be intentional about letting your light shine in your community through acts of service and kindness. 4. The Reward of Faithfulness Jesus reminds us in Matthew 5:12 to "rejoice and be glad" because great is our reward in heaven. When we obey God’s commands to love, serve, and share His vision, we store up treasures in heaven. Matthew 6:19-21: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Colossians 3:23-24: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." When we live as salt and light, we glorify God and make an eternal impact. Application: Focus on living for eternal rewards rather than temporary recognition. Trust that God sees your faithfulness and will reward you in His perfect time. Closing Scripture: "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." — Matthew 5:16 Closing Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for reminding us of our calling to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Help us to live lives that reflect Your love and compassion. Give us boldness to share the vision of Your kingdom and to serve those in need. May our actions bring glory to Your name and draw others closer to You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen. As we leave here today, let us commit to being the light of the world. Like President Macokebe , let us boldly share the vision of God’s kingdom and serve those in need with compassion and generosity. Remember, every act of kindness—no matter how small—shines the light of Christ and stores up treasures in heaven. Go and be the light! Conclusion: Join Us in Bringing Hope to the Homeless At Jehovah Saints, we are committed to being the hands and feet of Christ by providing safe shelters, warm meals, and hope to those in need.

- Prayer Meeting Jehovah Saints Church in Kasur, Pakistan
Jehovah Saints Church in Kasur, Pakistan Opening Scripture: "Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded." — James 4:8 1. The Prayer Meeting Last night, Jehovah Saints Church in Kasur, Pakistan , held a powerful prayer meeting led by Pastor Jamil Masih . The congregation gathered to worship, pray, and learn about salvation and the importance of talking to God. Pastor Jamil emphasized the necessity of a personal relationship with God through prayer and understanding salvation through Jesus Christ. Scriptures on Salvation and Talking to God: Romans 10:9: "If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Philippians 4:6: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." John 14:6: "Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’" The prayer meeting served as a time for the congregation to reflect on their faith, seek God’s presence, and grow in their understanding of His Word. 2. Upcoming Teaching Seminar: A Vision for Growth Pastor Jamil expressed his desire to arrange a teaching seminar with Michael Hopkins , the Head of Jehovah Saints. This seminar will focus on engaging the congregation in a question-and-answer format , allowing them to actively participate and deepen their understanding of biblical truths. Michael Hopkins responded with enthusiasm, highlighting the importance of this interactive approach: "I would like for all the congregation to ask me questions. This is the best way for people to learn. When they have something on their heart they would like to know the answer to, and you give them the answer, they will remember it more than what they would have in a sermon. So our next meeting will be a question-and-answer seminar." This seminar will provide an opportunity for believers to ask questions about their faith, the Bible, and their walk with God, fostering a deeper connection with Him. Scriptures on Teaching and Learning: Proverbs 4:7: "The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." 2 Timothy 3:16-17: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Matthew 7:7: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." 3. The Importance of Asking Questions in Faith Michael Hopkins' approach to teaching through a question-and-answer seminar reflects the biblical principle of seeking wisdom and understanding. Asking questions allows believers to engage with the Word of God in a meaningful way, helping them grow in their faith and apply biblical truths to their lives. Examples of Asking Questions in Scripture: Luke 2:46-47: "After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers." Acts 8:30-31: "Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ Philip asked. ‘How can I,’ he said, ‘unless someone explains it to me?’ So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him." This interactive approach mirrors the way Jesus often taught, answering questions and addressing the concerns of those who came to Him. 4. The Power of Congregational Learning A question-and-answer seminar encourages the congregation to actively participate in their spiritual growth. It allows them to voice their doubts, seek clarity, and gain a deeper understanding of God’s Word. Benefits of Congregational Learning: Active Participation: Engages believers in their faith journey, making them more invested in their learning. Personalized Teaching: Addresses specific questions and concerns, making the teaching more relevant to their lives. Deeper Understanding: Encourages believers to think critically about their faith and apply biblical principles to their daily lives. Scriptures on Growing in Faith: Colossians 1:9-10: "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God." Hebrews 5:12-14: "In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil." 5. A Call to Support and Pray for the Seminar As the Jehovah Saints Church prepares for this teaching seminar, let us come together in prayer and support. This event has the potential to transform lives, strengthen faith, and equip believers to walk faithfully with God. Pray for the Seminar: Pray for wisdom and guidance for Michael Hopkins as he prepares to lead the seminar. Pray for the congregation to bring their questions and seek God’s truth with open hearts. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move powerfully during the seminar, bringing understanding, conviction, and encouragement. Scriptures on Prayer for Wisdom and Guidance: James 1:5: "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." Psalm 119:105: "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." 6. Anticipating the Fruit of the Seminar This seminar will not only answer the congregation’s questions but also inspire them to grow in their faith and share the gospel with others. By equipping believers with biblical knowledge, the church will be strengthened and prepared to fulfill its mission. Scriptures on Bearing Fruit: John 15:5: "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." Matthew 28:19-20: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." The prayer meeting at Jehovah Saints Church in Kasur was a powerful reminder of the importance of salvation and talking to God. As the church prepares for the upcoming question-and-answer seminar, let us pray for God’s blessing and guidance. This seminar is an opportunity for believers to grow in their faith, deepen their understanding of God’s Word, and be equipped to live out their calling as followers of Christ. Closing Scripture: "Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance." — Proverbs 1:5 Closing Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the work You are doing through Pastor Jamil, Michael Hopkins, and the Jehovah Saints Church in Kasur. We pray for Your blessing on the upcoming teaching seminar. Grant wisdom to Michael Hopkins as he answers questions, and open the hearts of the congregation to receive Your truth. May this event strengthen their faith and equip them to live for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

- Jehovah Saints Ministry Pastor Arfan Bashir’s in Pakistan
Pastor Arfan Bashir’s Ministry in Pakistan Opening Scripture: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." — John 10:10 Pastor Arfan Bashir of Jehovah Saints Pakistan is faithfully ministering to his community, focusing on teaching about eternal life, serving the youth, and meeting the needs of the poor. Despite the challenges of not having a dedicated church building, Pastor Arfan and his congregation continue to worship and serve the Lord with dedication. Through Sunday school services, youth meetings, and home-based worship gatherings, Pastor Arfan is working to strengthen the faith of believers and prepare them for eternal life. He has shared a vision to build a church so that more people can be discipled and equipped to walk faithfully with Jesus Christ. 1. Teaching About Eternal Life Pastor Arfan emphasizes the importance of eternal life, a central theme in the teachings of Jesus Christ. In John 10:10, Jesus declares His purpose: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." Eternal life is not just about living forever; it is about living in the fullness of God’s presence, both now and in the life to come. Pastor Arfan is teaching his congregation to focus on this promise and live faithfully with Jesus Christ. Scriptures on Eternal Life: John 17:3: "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." Romans 6:23: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." By teaching about eternal life, Pastor Arfan is helping his congregation understand the hope and purpose found in Jesus Christ. 2. Ministering to the Youth Pastor Arfan is deeply committed to ministering to the youth, recognizing the unique challenges they face. During youth meetings, he teaches about eternal life, discusses their struggles, and prays for their needs. Challenges Faced by Youth: Unemployment and financial struggles. Spiritual growth and staying faithful in a challenging world. Praying for Employment Opportunities: Pastor Arfan requests prayers and support to provide business opportunities for unemployed youth so they can better support their families. Philippians 4:19: "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." Proverbs 16:3: "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." By addressing the practical needs of the youth, Pastor Arfan is helping them grow in faith while also equipping them to lead stable and productive lives. 3. Serving the Needy and the Community Pastor Arfan and his team are actively meeting the needs of the poor in their community. This aligns with the biblical command to care for the needy and demonstrate God’s love through action. Scriptures on Helping the Needy: Proverbs 19:17: "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done." James 2:15-16: "Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?" Through their ministry, Pastor Arfan and his team are living out these scriptures by providing practical assistance to those in need. 4. The Need for a Church Building Currently, the congregation gathers for Sunday services in different homes each week. While this allows for worship and fellowship, Pastor Arfan recognizes the need for a dedicated church building. In 2 Chronicles 2:4, Solomon speaks about building a temple for the Lord: "Now I am about to build a temple for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense before him, for setting out the consecrated bread regularly, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths, at the New Moons and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel." A church building would provide: A Central Place for Worship: A dedicated space would allow the congregation to worship together regularly without the challenges of moving from home to home. Strengthening of Faith: A church would serve as a place to disciple believers, teach the Word of God, and prepare people for eternal life. A Resource for the Community: The church could also serve as a hub for youth programs, Sunday school, and outreach to the needy. Scriptures on Building for the Lord: Psalm 127:1: "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain." Haggai 1:8: "Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored," says the Lord." Pastor Arfan’s vision to build a church is not just about a physical structure; it is about creating a space where people can encounter God, grow in faith, and glorify His name. 5. A Call to Action: How We Can Help Pastor Arfan has appealed for prayers and support to help his ministry thrive and meet the needs of his congregation. Here are ways we can help: Pray: Pray for Pastor Arfan, his ministry, and the community he serves. Pray for God’s provision for a church building and for the youth to find employment. James 5:16: "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." Support Financially: Pastor Arfan needs financial support to build a church and provide business opportunities for the unemployed youth. Your contributions can make a significant impact in advancing God’s work in this community. 2 Corinthians 9:7: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." Encourage and Advocate: Share Pastor Arfan’s story with others who may be able to help. Encourage others to pray and support this ministry. 6. The Impact of Your Support By supporting Pastor Arfan’s ministry , we can help: Strengthen the faith of believers and prepare them for eternal life. Provide opportunities for the youth to thrive and support their families. Create a lasting place of worship where the community can gather to glorify God. Scripture on the Fruit of Generosity: Matthew 5:16: "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." 2 Corinthians 9:11: "You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God." Pastor Arfan Bashir’s ministry is a testament to faithfulness in the face of challenges. Despite the lack of a church building, he and his congregation continue to worship, teach, and serve with dedication. By supporting this ministry, we can play a part in advancing God’s kingdom and helping this community grow in faith and hope. Closing Scripture: "And 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 Closing Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the work You are doing through Pastor Arfan and the Jehovah Saints ministry in Pakistan. We pray for Your provision for a church building, for the youth to find employment, and for the needs of the poor to be met. Strengthen Pastor Arfan and his congregation as they serve You faithfully. May their ministry bear fruit for Your kingdom and bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

- Jehovah Saints Jamil Masih’s Ministry in Pakistan
Pastor Jamil Masih’s Ministry in Pakistan Opening Scripture: "Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble." — Psalm 41:1 Pastor Jamil Masih, a dedicated member and volunteer of Jehovah Saints , has shared photos and updates about his congregation and ministry work in Pakistan. He is doing mighty work in a challenging environment, ministering to those in need and advocating for freedom from the oppressive conditions faced by brick kiln workers. Through his "Project Freedom," Pastor Jamil is working to free families trapped in the cycle of debt bondage and slavery. He has requested prayers and financial support to help release these workers and their children from the harsh conditions of brick kiln labor so that they can live in freedom, educate their children, and worship God without hindrance. 1. The Plight of the Brick Kiln Workers Pastor Jamil has highlighted the struggles of the brick kiln workers, who endure extreme hardship under oppressive conditions: Debt Bondage: Many families are trapped in a cycle of debt, unable to pay back the loans they owe to the kiln owners. This debt forces them into a form of modern-day slavery. Harsh Working Conditions: Workers must endure extreme heat and grueling labor, often for very little pay. Lack of Education for Children: Children are unable to attend school because they must work alongside their parents to help repay the family’s debt. This situation is a stark reminder of the injustice and oppression faced by vulnerable communities. Scriptures on Justice for the Oppressed: Proverbs 22:22-23: "Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life." Isaiah 1:17: "Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow." 2. The Biblical Call to Help the Poor and Oppressed The Bible repeatedly calls on God’s people to care for the poor, defend the oppressed, and work for justice. Pastor Jamil’s ministry is a living example of this calling. Helping the Poor: Proverbs 19:17: "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done." Matthew 25:40: "The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’" Freeing the Oppressed: Psalm 82:4: "Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." Luke 4:18: "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free." Pastor Jamil’s vision to free these workers from the bondage of debt aligns with God’s heart for justice and compassion. 3. The Vision of Project Freedom Pastor Jamil’s "Project Freedom" aims to: Pay off the debts of brick kiln workers: This will release them from the cycle of debt bondage and allow them to live in freedom. Provide education for children: Freeing families from debt will enable their children to attend school and pursue a better future. Empower families to worship God freely: Without the burden of slavery, these families can glorify God and live lives of dignity and hope. Scriptures on Freedom and Hope: Galatians 5:1: "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 4. A Call to Action: How We Can Help Pastor Jamil reminds us that God has made us resources to help others. He appeals to us to contribute to this project so that these families can experience freedom and a new beginning. Pray: Pray for the brick kiln workers, Pastor Jamil’s ministry, and the success of "Project Freedom." Pray for God’s provision, protection, and guidance.

- Jehovah Saints Ministry in India
Jehovah Saints Ministry in India Opening Scripture: "And if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday." — Isaiah 58:10 Pastor Krupavaram Tatapudi, President of Jehovah Saints in India, shares exciting updates about the ministry’s work. He has shared photos of Jehovah Saints Church in India , showcasing the growth and impact of the ministry in the region. Pastor Krupavaram is described as a spiritual uplifter and a mighty man of God, dedicated to serving his community. Together with Founder Michael Hopkins , they remain in constant communication, collaborating on new ideas for fundraising to support the construction of homeless shelters throughout India. This report reflects on the biblical principles of uplifting others, providing for the needy, and working together in unity to fulfill God’s mission. 1. Uplifting Others Spiritually Pastor Krupavaram Tatapudi’s role as a spiritual leader and uplifter aligns with the biblical calling for shepherds to guide and care for God’s people. His dedication to uplifting others spiritually reflects the heart of a true servant of God. The Role of Spiritual Leaders: Jeremiah 3:15: "Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding." 1 Peter 5:2-3: "Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock." Encouraging and Strengthening Others: 1 Thessalonians 5:11: "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." Isaiah 40:31: "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." 2. Providing for the Needy and Building Homeless Shelters The vision of building homeless shelters throughout India demonstrates the ministry’s commitment to meeting the physical and spiritual needs of the poor and vulnerable. This work reflects the biblical mandate to care for those in need. God’s Heart for the Poor: Proverbs 19:17: "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done." Psalm 82:3: "Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed." The Call to Provide Shelter and Care: Isaiah 58:7: "Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?" Matthew 25:35-36: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." Faith in Action: James 2:15-17: "Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." 3. Partnering Together for God’s Mission The partnership between Pastor Krupavaram Tatapudi and Founder Michael Hopkins highlights the importance of unity and collaboration in ministry. Their joint efforts to develop fundraising ideas and expand the ministry reflect the biblical principle of working together for God’s glory. Unity in Ministry: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10: "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up." 1 Corinthians 12:12: "Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ." Encouraging One Another in Ministry: Hebrews 10:24: "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds." Planning and Working Together: Proverbs 15:22: "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." 4. Celebrating the Growth of Jehovah Saints Church in India The photos shared by Pastor Krupavaram Tatapudi of Jehovah Saints Church in India are a testimony to God’s faithfulness and the growth of the ministry. The church serves as a beacon of hope and a place where people can encounter God’s love and truth. The Church as God’s Light in the World: Matthew 5:14-16: "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." The Church as a Place of Worship and Community: Psalm 122:1: "I rejoiced with those who said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’" Acts 2:46-47: "Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." 5. Trusting God for Provision As Pastor Krupavaram and Michael Hopkins work on fundraising ideas to build homeless shelters, they demonstrate trust in God’s provision to accomplish His work. The Bible reminds us that God is faithful to provide for the needs of His people and His ministry. God Provides for His Work: Philippians 4:19: "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." 2 Corinthians 9:8: "And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." Stewardship and Faithfulness: Luke 16:10: "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." Pastor Krupavaram Tatapudi and Founder Michael Hopkins are making a significant impact through the Jehovah Saints ministry in India. Their dedication to uplifting others spiritually, providing for the needy, and collaborating for God’s mission is a testimony to their faith and obedience to God’s calling. Let us continue to pray for their efforts, asking God to bless their fundraising initiatives, provide the resources needed to build homeless shelters, and use the Jehovah Saints Church in India as a beacon of hope and transformation for the community. Closing Scripture: "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9 Closing Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the work You are doing through Pastor Krupavaram Tatapudi and the Jehovah Saints ministry in India. Bless their efforts to uplift others spiritually and provide for the homeless. Guide them as they work on fundraising ideas and grant them the resources needed to fulfill their mission. May their work bring glory to Your name and draw many to the love and hope found in Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
