This Christmas season, I had the privilege of sharing a small blessing with a few widows in our community. I was able to support them with basic food items such as sugar, milk, wheat flour, and cooking oil. These simple supplies will help them prepare a special meal for their families once in a while as they celebrate Christmas.
Their gratitude was deeply touching. Many other families also benefited from this act of giving, though I did not capture their photos because the support was offered as a random and quiet blessing.
Over the years, this has become a personal tradition for me. Each year, I purpose to share what I have with families in need, especially during the Christmas season. Giving reminds us that even small acts of kindness can bring hope and joy.
I sincerely thank everyone who has supported this mission in different ways, through prayers, encouragement, and resources. May God bless you for standing with us and for being part of this work of love.
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.” — James 1:27

As the year draws to a close, our hearts at Salvation Gospel Church are overflowing with gratitude and a profound sense of purpose. This past Sunday, we had the beautiful honor of continuing our annual tradition of gifting sanitary pads to the young girls and teens in our congregation. It was more than just a distribution; it was a moment of tangible love, a practical embrace, and a powerful affirmation of their dignity and worth in the eyes of God and our church family.

Seeing the smiles, the shy nods of appreciation, and the relieved whispers from mothers, we were reminded of why this mission matters so deeply. For many, these simple gifts alleviate a significant monthly burden and anxiety, ensuring that no girl has to miss Sunday service, youth group, or a day of school due to a lack of essential care. It is a ministry of presence, saying, “We see you, we support you, and your well-being is important to us.”

A Journey of Steadfast Support

It has been a great pleasure and a testament to God’s faithfulness that we have managed to continue this vital initiative throughout the year. In a world of many uncertainties, our commitment to supporting our young sisters has remained a constant. This continuity represents the unwavering dedication of our donors, the compassion of our Women’s Ministry, and the supportive heart of our entire church leadership. Every box donated, every packet packed, was a stitch in a quilt of comfort and care that we wrapped around our girls.

More Than a Gift: A Message of Love

Each package given is accompanied by our prayers. We pray for their health, their dreams, their strength, and their growing faith. We are not just meeting a physical need; we are nurturing young souls, telling them they are part of a community that cares for the whole person—body, spirit, and mind.

We believe that by lifting this practical worry, we free them to focus on their God-given potential. We are investing in confident young women who know their value, both in the marketplace and in the pew.

Looking Forward with Hope to 2026

As we stand on the brink of a new year, our vision is expanding. We look to 2026 with expectant hearts and a prayer for “better.” Better not just in quantity, but in reach and impact. We dream of:

· Growing this program to support even more girls within and potentially around our church community.
· Incorporating more moments of mentorship and open conversation about health and womanhood.
· Ensuring this support is a sustained, reliable constant in their lives.

We invite you, our wonderful Salvation Gospel Church family and friends, to carry this vision with us into 2026. Let us make the coming year one of even greater service, deeper compassion, and more powerful impact.

A Heartfelt Thank You

This ministry thrives because of you. To every person who gave generously, who volunteered time to organize and distribute, and who lifted this effort in prayer—thank you. You have been the hands and feet of Christ in a beautifully practical way.

To the proud, beautiful young women who received these gifts: You are loved, you are cherished, and you are the future. We are so blessed to walk alongside you.

May the close of this year fill you with peace, and may 2026 be a year of abundant blessings, growth, and grace for every member of our Salvation Gospel Church family.

In Service and Love,

The Women’s Ministry & Pastoral Team

This week we started training our youths through the books I wrote for them.Itook the through the 1st 5 chapter and elaborated though the bible verses.

They were:

CHAPTER 1: FREEDOM IN CHRIST

John 8:36 So if the son sets you free,you will be free indeed.

CHAPTER 2:PRAYER FOR FREEDOM.

Psalms 91:4 -“He shall cover you with His Feathers and under his wings you shall take refuge.

CHAPTER 3:PRAYER FOR GUIDANCE AND PROVISION

Psalms remind us that God reads,restores and provides.

Psalms 23;2-3 -He lead me besides the still water he restores my soul”

CHAPTER 4;BREAKING THE CHAINS OF FEAR.

Fear paralyzes destiny.it keeps many from using their gifts or perusing their dreams.

2 Timothy 1:7 :God has not given us the spirit of fear,but power and of Love and of a sound mind.

Gifting Our Sunday School Children for Christmas

Today was a joyful day in our church family. We gathered with our Sunday School children to bless them with new clothes for Christmas. Their smiles, laughter, and excitement reminded us why giving is such a powerful act of love. Many of these little ones come from homes where Christmas gifts are not guaranteed, so seeing them receive something new filled the day with real hope.

As a church, we believe that caring for children is part of our calling. Scripture teaches us, “Let the little children come to me… for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:14). When we give to children, we are not just offering material gifts. We are planting seeds of love, dignity, and encouragement.

We also hold on to the promise in Proverbs 19:17: “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.” Every shirt, dress, and pair of shoes shared today carries a message that God sees and values each child.

This Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus by reflecting His kindness in our community. We thank everyone who prayed, supported, and contributed toward this outreach. May God bless you for touching young lives with compassion.

May these children grow in faith and joy as they wear their new clothes this festive season. Merry Christmas to all.

Introduction

December is a month of excitement—holidays, family time, celebrations, and the hope of a new year. But for many young people, it can also be a month of uncertainty, pressure, and impatience:

“God, when will things get better?”

“When will my prayers be answered?”

“Why am I still waiting?”

This message reminds us that waiting is not a punishment—it’s preparation.

—

1. God Works in the Waiting

Psalm 27:14 — “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

Waiting is one of God’s greatest classrooms.
When God delays, He is not denying you.
He is developing you.

Just like a seed takes time to break through the soil, God allows us to wait so our roots can grow deeper.

—

2. Your Timing Is Not God’s Timing

Ecclesiastes 3:11 — “He has made everything beautiful in its time.”

Sometimes we compare ourselves to others—friends succeeding, people posting their highlights on social media. But God’s timing is unique for every person.

The blessing that comes in God’s time will come fully formed, without regret, rushing, or confusion.

—

3. Waiting Builds Spiritual Muscles

Isaiah 40:31 — “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength… they shall run and not be weary.”

Waiting is not passive.
Waiting builds:

Faith

Strength

Endurance

Character

You don’t get stronger by escaping challenges—you get stronger by trusting God through them.

—

4. Patience Keeps You From Dangerous Choices

December holidays come with pressure:

Pressure to fit in

Pressure to compromise

Pressure to rush into relationships

Pressure to take shortcuts

But rushed decisions produce broken futures.

Proverbs 19:2 — “Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes.”

When you wait on the Lord, you avoid traps the enemy sets for the impatient.

—

5. God Has Not Forgotten You

Habakkuk 2:3 — “Though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.”

God’s silence is not His absence.
Your prayer is not ignored.
Your dream is not dead.
Your future is not cancelled.

God is working even when you can’t see it.

—

6. While You Wait — Serve!

Waiting is not sitting with folded hands.
It is actively trusting God by being faithful where you are.

Lamentations 3:25 — “The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.”

Use the December holidays to:

Pray more

Read the Word

Help at home

Serve in church

Encourage others

Make healthy plans for the new year

When you serve while waiting, God positions you for your blessing.

—

Conclusion: Wait Well

In this December season, God is whispering:

“Be still. I’m working. Your story is not over.”

So young people, wait well.
Wait with joy.
Wait with expectation.
Wait with worship.
Wait knowing that what God prepares in patience will last in power.

—

Prayer

“Lord, teach us to wait on You. Give us patience, strength, and faith. Help us trust Your timing and remain faithful in this season. Prepare our hearts for the great things You have planned. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
