Dear Rev. Derek Boggs,
Dear Rev. Dr. Phyllis Milton,
Dear all Pastors and Congregations,
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, I send you all the Happy Prosperous 2026 with many blessings. It has been the New Year which we have come through and it is full of life, strength, and Hope that we may see when journey together. The yesterday has gone and today has come and tomorrow will be the day of change that we all expected to be of great pleasure.
My message to the church and to all of you regarding this new prosperous year “focus on God’s faithfulness, future hope, and renewed commitment, emphasizing themes like Jeremiah 29:11 (“plans to give you hope and a future”) Hebrews 13:8 (“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever”) and the call to serve and fellowship urging our congregations, pastors, elders, and lay leaders to trust God’s unchanging character as they step into a new year of purpose and grace.
Hebrew 13:8 – GOD UNCHANGING NATURE: Reassure the congregations that while the world changes, God remains constant, offering stability and hope.
As we stand at the threshold of this New Year (2026) let us pause to thank God for His faithfulness through every season.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrew 13:8). This truth grounds us as we look to a future filled with His purpose. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God has plans to give us hope and a future, not to harm us. This year 2026, let’s embrace His perspective, seeing the world through His eyes and participating in His promise to make all things new.
Let us serve more, encourage one another, and not forsake gathering together, as the enemy seeks to scatter the sheep.
May your faith grow stronger as you trust in His guidance. May the Lord’s grace fill your days with joy, peace, and abundant blessings.
HAPPY NEW YEAR – CHURCH FAMILY ROLAND HATI / PARTNERSHIP CHAIRMAN NGI DISTRICT
