Why God Spoke to Samuel – Part 1 Text: 1 Samuel 2–3   In a time when the word of the Lord was rare, God chose to speak, not to a seasoned priest, but to a young boy. Samuel was likely only a child, perhaps around 10–12 years old. This reminds us that age or experience is not a barrier for God to speak.   Even though there were experienced priests like Eli and his sons, their hearts were not right before God. God does not look for age, position, or experience.    Why Samuel? Why did God speak to him and not to Eli or his sons?   The answer is found in the life Samuel was already living. Let me suggest a few reasons: He positioned himself in God’s presence -  Samuel was lying down “in the house of the Lord, where the ark of God was” (1 Sam 3:1). He intentionally remained close to the presence of God. Scripture also tells us that “the lamp of God had not yet gone out,”. This is an important observation. In the tabernacle , the lamp (menorah) was kept burning t...

" There is a hidden chapter of Jimmy Carter's life that no history textbook has ever done full justice to, and once you understand it, you will see the 39th President of the United States in an entirely different light.  When Jimmy and Rosalynn returned home to Plains, Georgia in January of 1981 after losing the White House to Ronald Reagan, they did something that quietly revealed everything about who they were. Plains Baptist Church, the congregation they had belonged to their entire lives, had spent years refusing to admit Black members. A group of 29 members had broken away and founded Maranatha Baptist Church on a foundation of racial integration, and without a moment's hesitation, the Carters walked through those doors on their very first Sunday back in town and never looked back. Jimmy Carter then did something that no former president in American history had ever done. He began teaching Sunday school every other week to whoever showed up, and for the next four deca...

Noel Thapa   and   Pastor Amrit , who will be guiding and mentoring the students throughout the program.

Praise the Lord, Sir. Today in Bondli Dangria village, another new family accepted Jesus as their personal Saviour. A young man who had been sick for one month and was bedridden was supposed to be taken for cremation this morning. However, after we prayed for him, he was instantly healed. The villagers said they had been waiting for the night to pass, and the next morning they planned to take him to the cremation ground. The whole village was surprised to witness this miracle, and many people were shouting, “Victory to Jesus!” This is the same village (Bondli) that we were planning to visit by bike earlier, but we had to return home because the road work was not completed. It is also the same village that Rev. Albert and Sister Josephine had previously visited. We are greatly thankful to God and to you, Sir, for always keeping us in your precious prayers. Thank you for continually praying for God’s ministry in Odisha. Thank you, Sir. Bishop Anjan

  This morning we left home early to attend the 9:30 AM service at   St. Paul's Bloor Street Anglican Church   in downtown   Toronto . However, along the highway we encountered an unusually heavy traffic jam, something quite unexpected on a Sunday morning. For more than an hour, traffic barely moved. Soon we learned the reason. Someone was attempting to jump from an overhead bridge, and the police had closed the highway while they tried to dissuade him. Officers walked along the line of cars explaining the situation. One impatient driver asked whether at least one lane could be opened so traffic could proceed. The officer responded calmly but firmly:  they were trying to save a life, and everything else was of lesser priority.  He asked everyone for patience. That statement stayed with me.  We are trying to save a life, and everything else takes less priority.  In that moment, the words echoed something far deeper, the urgency of the mission entru...
