Passing the Blessing on in Ba
A UCB team of 3 people traveled from Suva to Lautoka on the weekend. On our way, we stopped at Ba for the night. Thankfully we were able to stay with Pastor Ben from Salvation Army. On Saturday morning we visited the HART Home in Ba to distribute the daily devotionals. The HART Home or Housing Assistance Relief Trust houses widows and single parents with very low income.
We started our distribution and to our surprise the appointed leader of the community informed us that she was still using her devotional from 2024. She received hers in March 2024 from a local Salvation Army pastor. Since she hasn’t received a copy of 2025, she had started reading the January edition of 2024 and have been praying that she would get a copy of 2025. She was elated and got emotional when we gave her own devotional and thanked God that her prayers had been answered.

Influenced by the Message of Hope
We received the following testimonies from the team in Nepal about how people are being influenced and encouraged by the daily devotion.
Greetings
I am Sushila Thing from the vibrant community of Hariwan Sarlahi and a dedicated member of Ananta Jiwan Church, where I find spiritual support and friendship. One of the most significant aspects of my spiritual journey has been reading the daily devotional booklet from Message of Hope Nepal, which is published twice a year. This resource has greatly influenced my life by providing practical insights for my personal development and ministry work. From the moment I first received it, I thanked God for its valuable guidance in my faith and service. I continue to pray for the committed team that produces this publication, and I am truly grateful for this wonderful blessing. I hope His word, as shared through this devotional, touches the hearts and minds of everyone who reads it.
Greetings, I am Durga Bahadur Kunwar from Bethal Church. I am grateful for “The Word for Today” on Radio Chhimeki Daily and Dr. Simon Pandy’s “Aasako Sandesh.” I also read “The Word for Today” from the book, which inspires me to understand God’s plan and love. The daily devotional messages are uplifting and beneficial, and I am very thankful. Glory be to God for the hope offered in “The Word for Today.” May God bless this ministry to continue its work here in Nepal. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
If you want to help support the team in Nepal, we invite you to make a donation here. This will go towards continuing to make The Word for Today available.

Live in the present moment
‘This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.’ Psalm 118:24 NKJV
God wants us to appreciate the season we are in; to live in the present moment. Some people live only for the future. ‘I’ll be happy when…’ Other people live in the past. Solomon addresses them: ‘Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.’ (Ecclesiastes 7:10 NKJV)
The New Yorker magazine once had a cartoon in which two monks in robes and shaved heads were sitting side by side, cross-legged on the floor. The younger one, with a quizzical look on his face, is facing the older one, who is saying: ‘Nothing happens next. This is it.’ That’s exactly what it means to live in the present. We aren’t waiting for something else to occur, we aren’t distracted by anything around us, we aren’t trying to escape mentally to another time. We are fully alive because we are living in the moment!
God may have done great things for you in the past, and you’re trusting Him to do great things in the future, but His presence, His power, His goodness, His favour, His blessing, and all that He is can only be experienced in the here and now. Question: ‘Are you living in a shell to keep from being eaten alive by the pain of life? Do you guard yourself by retreating deeper into your shell, being available only to what is pleasant, predictable, and safe?’ ‘This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.’ (Psalm 118:24 NKJV) Live in the ‘here and now’.
