MOVING FORWARD IN 2025: PLANNING IS ESSENTIAL
Planning for 2025 is a crucial task at personal-, church-, regional- and national levels because it helps everyone move forward with clear goals and purpose.
On a personal level, planning allows individuals to set priorities, manage time, and work toward personal growth and life milestones. In the church, having a plan helps guide ministry efforts, outreach, and spiritual growth initiatives. It ensures that resources are used wisely and that the congregation with its various ministries are united in vision and mission.
National- and Regional planning is equally important, as it brings together communities, churches, and local leaders around the vision and direction of the church. It also assists in addressing common needs, improving ministry infrastructure, and creating growth opportunities. Make sure that you keep the National and Regional calendar in mind when you finalize your assembly- and personal planning.
With proactive planning individuals, churches, and communities can be better prepared for challenges, make the most of opportunities, and have a greater impact. Without planning, there’s a risk of falling behind, wasting resources, or missing out on the chance to make a positive difference.
May your planning on all of these levels be successful and blessed as we endeavour to move forward purposefully.
Ukuhlelela unyaka we-2025 kuwumsebenzi obalulekile kumuntu ngamune, ibandla, isifunda kanye nakuzwelonke ngoba LOKHU kusisiza sonke ukuthi siqhubekele phambili ngemigomo nangezinjongo ezicacile.
Ezingeni lomuntu ngamunye, ukuhlela kuvumela abantu ukuthi bahlele izinto ngokubaluleka kwazo, ukuze bafinyelelele ekukhuleni komuntu ngayedwana futhi benze izinto abaziphokophele empilweni ngesikhathi. Ukuba nohlelo lwebandla kusiza ekuqondiseni imizamo yebandla, ukufinyelela labo abangaphandle kwebandla, kanye nezinhlelo zokukhula ngokukamoya. Kuqinisekisa ukuthi izinsiza zisetshenziswa ngobuchule nokuthi ibandla nezinkonzo zalo ezahlukahlukene zibonise ubunye bombono kanye nothumo.
Ukuhlela ezingeni likazwelonke nasezingeni lwezifunda, kubaluleke ngokufanayo, ngoba kuhlanganisa imiphakathi, amabandla, nabaholi bamabandla embonweni nasemzileni othathwa yibandla. Kuyasiza futhi ekubhekaneni nezidingo ezifanayo, ekuthuthukiseni ingqalazizinda zenkonzo, nokudala amathuba okuthuthuka. Qiniseka ukuthi ugcina ikhalenda likazwelonke nelesifunda engqondweni lapho wenza khona uhlelo lwebandla lakho - kanye nohlelo lwakho siqu.
Ukuhlela izinto ngaphambi kokuthi zenzeke kwenza ukuthi umuntu ngamunye, amabandla, nemiphakathi bazilungiselele kangcono ekubhakeneni nezinselele, basebenzise amathuba abawatholayo ngokugcwele, futhi babe nomthelela omkhulu. Ukuhluleka ukuhlela kungasibeka engcupheni yokuthii sisalele emuva, sisebenzise izinsiza budedengu, noma siphuthelwe amathuba okwenza umehluko emiphakathini.
Kwangathi zonke izinhlelo kuwo wonke amazinga nemikhakha kungaphumelela futhi kube ngokubusisekile njengoba sizama inqubekela phambili enenhloso.
PASTORS APPRECIATION & WELLNESS MONTH
As a church, we have established a tradition over the last couple of years of primarily focusing on appreciating our pastors, their spouses, and their children during October. “Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honour, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.” (1 Timothy 5:17, BSB).
Paul reminds us to honour and appreciate our leaders. This is something that a leader should never expect or enforce but that church members and followers of Christ should do continuously because we respect and love our leaders because of their dedication and work. As we express our appreciation, we should also be mindful of the key aspects of our pastors' well-being: spiritual-, emotional-, intellectual-, physical-, social-, and financial health.
This October we are encouraging our assemblies to go beyond the usual gestures of gratitude and do something extra meaningful for our pastors, their spouses and children. May God richly bless, empower, and fill all our assemblies with His Spirit as we work in unity to share His love, extend His grace, and build His Kingdom in our communities.
Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulile, silibandla, sasungula umkhuba wokubungaza abefundisi ngokuthi sigxile kakhulu ekubaziseni bona nabalingani babo, kanye nabantwana babo ngenyanga kaMfumfu minyaka yonke. Encwadini yokuqala ka-Thimothewu 5:17 sifunda ukuthi: “Amalunga aphatha kahle akuthiwe afanele ukutuswa ngokuphindiweyo, ikakhulu lawo akhuthalela izwi nokufundisa” (ZUL59).
UPawulu usikhumbuza ukuthi sihloniphe futhi sibazise abaholi bethu. Lokhu akuyona into umholi okumele ayilindele noma ayenze impoqo kodwa yinto amalungu ebandla nabalandeli bakaKristu okufanele bayenze njalo ngoba bebonisa inhlonipho nothando kubaholi babo ngenxa yokuzinikela nomsebenzi wabo. Njengoba sibabungaza, kumele sikhumbule izinto ezibalulekile ngabo, ezihlanganisa inhlalakahle yabo, impilo yabo ngokukamoya, ngokwemizwa, ngokwengqondo, ngokwenyama, ngokwenhlalakahle, kanye nokusimama kwabo ngasezimalini.
Kulenyanga ksMfumfu sikhuthaza amabandla ethu ukuthi athathe igxathu eledlulele ekubongeni nasekunikelezana ngezipho kubefundisi bethu, abalingani babo, kanye nabantwana babo. Kwangathi uNkulunkulu angabusisa ngokwedlulele, anike amandla, futhi agcwalise onke amabandla ethu ngoMoya wakhe njengoba sisebenza ngobunye ukwabelana ngothando lwakhe, nokwandisa umusa Wakhe, futhi sakha noMbuso wakhe emiphakathini yethu.
