Bye 2024, Welcome 2025!
Purposefully turning the page on a new year.
Dear #DailyFollower,
It’s new year’s eve!
In the part of the world where I am, we’re just a few hours into the new year.
It’s possible that at your end of the world, you’ve turned the page on 2024 and are already in the new year ahead of me. Happy New Year to you, then!
It’s been an eventful 2024 for me, and I’m sure it has been for you, too. It is possible that you didn’t check all the boxes of things you wanted to achieve this year, just as I didn’t.
However, looking back on the year, I believe we can be grateful that we’re here a few hours before the end of the year or into the new year, depending on where you are when this letter hits your inbox.
One of the many things I am most grateful for in 2024 is the launch of the #DailyFollowers community in the twilight of 2024 - I wrote and shared the first newsletter on December 24, 2024.
If you’re reading this, I am grateful to you! Thanks for opening this newsletter!
I started this community in response to a longing in my heart to be a man that God can use at any time and anywhere to fulfil the deep longings of His earth on earth and in the universe as we know it.
If you have read any of the first seven newsletters I’ve shared and are still reading his letter, I believe you share my longing to be a man or woman that God can count on to execute His eternal purposes.
As we turn the page on 2024 and open a new page for 2025, I urge you to act on your longing to be a God-partner.
Let’s learn together, grow together, and work together in 2025 to move from being passive followers into active followers who partner with God to:
Share the gospel with everyone around us who needs to hear the good news.
Invest in equipping ourselves and other believers to witness Jesus effectively.
Transform societies into places where people and things thrive as He desires.
Throughout 2024, I will share daily newsletters to plant seeds of God’s Words that we can meditate on to help us become active followers.
I will also add podcasts and videos to the mix, bringing real-life stories about active followers that will encourage us all to stay in the race as followers of Jesus, partnering with Him in the things He’s doing and blessing in our world.
I’m excited about what is ahead for us. I look forward to engaging with you in the new year.
Happy New Year, dear #DailyFollower!
Yours faithfully,
John - One #DailyFollower.
