Dear fellow Christians,
WALKING IN LOVE AND HOPE.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another” (John 14 vrs 34 NRSV); Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings of eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint (Isaiah 40 vrs 31).
Hello,
Calvary greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and savior. Welcome to our website. Happy New Year. The thought of a new year is exciting. It breathes joy, expectation, and hope into our lives. This year 2022 more than any other year in the past is a year that many people around the world are HOPING to bring much needed POSITIVE change to the world. This couldn’t be more true especially after the untold pain, suffering, and LOSS the world has experienced and are still experiencing due to COVID-19 pandemic. Brethren, I encourage you to step into this year without fear of the past years repeating itself but, rather to look back at them with gratitude that you survived it and to look forward into this new year with HOPE. Look up to 2022 with a hope that stems from the knowledge of what our powerful God can do. With him, all things are possible ((Mathew 19 vrs 26). Christ in the book of Isiah 43 verse 18-19 encouraged us to “remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert”. Yes, this new year like many new things in life can leave us with mixed feelings of excitement, fear (of the unknown), anxiety, worry etc however, know that you are never alone, and you should not navigate this year alone. Our God is with you, make Him your auto pilot, surrender to His Lordship over your life. He is more than capable to meet your needs and exceed your expectations (Ephesian 3 verse 20), trust His timing and put your hope in him. He will not fail nor disappoint you. That God ordained HOPE is what ESA US-NORTH chapter have been providing for those in need through our services since our inauguration almost a decade ago. Brethren, I am not sure what your dream, your goal and plan for this year is; whatever it may be, I pray that God the source of confident-HOPE will give you the grace to lean on him in this uncertain times and always (Romans 15 vrs 13).
ESA US-NORTH chapter as a faith based organization who is founded on LOVE opens her heart to the cry of those in need. We give hope to the hopeless and show love to those in need through our charity outreach programs that have served and will continue to serve members of our communities such as the homeless, the sick, the poor widows, the orphans, and those who are struggling with financial hardship etc. In doing this, we show love to our God and man which is the greatest commandment (Mathew 22 vrs 37-39). We indeed love our neighbors as ourselves. In this new year, our service in LOVE for God and mankind continues. We are excited for what God is about to use us to do in the lives of others. Brethren, I invite you to join us either by collaborating with us or by going solo in serving others. The bible verse that we identify with in our humanitarian service says that “I can all do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4 vrs 13), I believe that anybody can do anything they set their mind to with the grace and help of God. I pray that you will yield to the nudging of the Holy Spirit that guides us, and will also guide you into leading a life this year that will positively impact the lives of others to the glory of God our creator. May the Lord bless you from zion and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life as you serve. Thank you for visiting our website, we look forward to having you visit us again soon.
Yours in the Lord’s service.
