The summit opened with vibrant worship led by The Chosen Ones Group, creating an atmosphere of unity and joy.
The first devotion, “Inspired to Equip” by Pastor Swamy Das, based on 2 Timothy 3:16–17, emphasized that godly leaders are called to serve with humility and wisdom, contrasting worldly and godly leadership.

Initially, I wasn’t planning to attend SLS 2025, but as I prayed, God placed a strong desire in my heart to go. Through the devotion, I realized that God has called each of us to be leaders, and I was limiting myself.

God is the Greatest Giver - Dr . Eappen John
Dr. Eappen John emphasized that God is the greatest giver and that true generosity means giving freely and joyfully without expecting anything in return. He introduced the Seven Stations of Generosity as a guide to faithful living, showing that God owns everything and provides enough. Drawing from Acts 20:35 and the parable of the Good Samaritan, he highlighted that giving should flow from love, and not duty. The story from Mizoram “A Handful of Rice,” illustrated how generosity can transform communities and reflect God’s heart in action.
I want to thank the Stewards of Nations team for organizing such an inspiring summit. The session on Generosity and Resource Creation touched me deeply.

It was one of the best learning experiences I’ve had.
Eternal Perspective on Life and Treasure - Dr . Eappen John
Dr. Eappen John highlighted that true generosity comes from an eternal perspective. Earthly wealth fades, but giving towards God’s Kingdom holds lasting value.

The message was illustrated through the parable of the Rich Fool and the life story of Chuck Feeney, showing that real generosity means investing in God’s Kingdom and living with an eternal mindset.
