Dear Disciple Nations Church Family,

Happy New Year! With hearts full of gratitude, we welcome you into 2025, a year of new beginnings, overflowing blessings, and divine purpose.

This year, our theme is Abundant Life, drawn from the powerful words of Jesus in John 10:10:

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

In Christ, we are not called to survive but to thrive. Abundant life is His gift to us—a life marked by His presence, His peace, and His provision. It is not just about material wealth but living in the fullness of His joy, purpose, and power.

As we step into this new year, let us embrace this abundant life by:

1. Deepening our relationship with Christ—seeking Him first in all things (Matthew 6:33).
2. Living with purpose—fulfilling the calling He has placed on our lives.
3. Walking in faith—trusting His promises even in uncertain times.
4. Serving others with love—being channels of His blessings to those around us.

This year, I encourage you to set your heart on God’s promises and let go of anything that robs you of the abundant life Jesus offers. Whether in your spiritual walk, family, career, or ministry, step boldly into the overflow of His grace, knowing that He is faithful to lead and provide.

As a church, we are committed to growing together in Christ, supporting one another, and reaching our world with the Gospel. Let us approach this year with faith and expectancy, believing that God will do exceedingly, abundantly above all we can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).

Welcome to The Year of Abundant Life! May this year be filled with testimonies, breakthroughs, and the tangible evidence of God’s goodness in your life.

With love and blessings,

Rev. Jerry Panou; Lead Pastor, Disciple Nations Church
