We recently had a speaker who shared a very insightful teaching on Active Listening, and he emphasized that the ultimate goal of listening well is not just better communication, but maturity (telios) in Christ.
He explained that true active listening involves three key aspects: empathy, warmth, and respect. Empathy means coming alongside someone in their struggles, feeling with them rather than simply giving quick advice. Warmth is communicating care through our tone, posture, and presence—it’s letting the other person know they are safe and valued.Respect
is not earned; it is a gift. This truth is grounded in Genesis 1:27, which tells us that every person is created in the image of God. Because of this, each person is worthy of respect—not because of what they have done or who they are in the world’s eyes, but because they reflect God’s image.
In short, active listening is more than a skill—it is a spiritual practice that reflects Christ’s heart. It helps us grow in maturity, and it helps others experience the love, empathy, and respect that flow from God Himself.

Happy Birthday to our amazing and much-loved Nurse Educator, Sharamae DV
We deeply appreciate your heart to serve, your dedication in preparing health education materials that greatly support our ministry, and your generosity—not just in knowledge, but also in making sure we're never hungry (yes, we definitely notice and enjoy all the food, haha!).

Your presence is such a blessing to our team. You bring wisdom, encouragement, and light-hearted joy to our daily work.

On your special day, we pray that the Lord blesses you abundantly and walks closely with you in the year ahead. May you be kept healthy, full of joy, and continually inspired as you keep impacting lives with your calling.
