Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 10:23 (NIV)
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Hebrews 10:23 (KJV)
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 10:23 (ESV)
“No matter what is happening in our lives or what is going on in this chaotic world, let us hold on to our faith and count on God, for He is faithful to keep His unswerving promises.”
Dr. Israel Nandamudi
President OFUESI 2023 - Present
"God is faithful and He is never changing. He assures us His peace if we hold on to the faith in Him. As our lives are chaotic with so much of chaos around us, let’s pray and work for God’s will to be done in our lives as we continue to share hope in Him."
Bro. Sam Kurapaty
President OFUESI 2018-2022
Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “come to me, all you who are WEARY and BURDNED and I will give you REST”. He is a Promise Keeper and He will never leave us nor forsake us. So, let us strive to be faithful to our calling abiding in HIS grace sincerely and seasoned with trustworthy salt for tasteless salt is also worthless in this chaotic world.
Let our “YES” be “YES” and our “NO” be “NO”.
Bro. Paramjyothi Marati
President OFUESI 2016-2017
We are jars of clay in which the treasure of the Gospel resides. We have a compelling obligation in this world of chaos, to share this treasure. People are desperate and looking for help in their need of the Lord. May we set aside our pettiness and self-care, and move with the Spirit and fill the gap. God is faithful and He is eager to fulfill His promises as we hold unswervingly to the hope we profess.
Dr. Subhakumar Kumpaty
Founding Member and President OFUESI 2014-2015
So let’s do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Hebrews 10:23 (The Message)
Dr. Samuel Gnanamanickam
President OFUESI 2013-2014
"Jesus Christ is the only firm foundation in this chaotic world, and His Word is the only sure anchor amidst the storms of our lives."
Dr. Mathew Thomas
President OFUESI 2011 - 2012
God is always faithful and let our prayer be "that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man ... that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God." (as in Ephesians 3:16-19)
Bro. Joji Varghese
President OFUESI 2009-2010
"Our lives must be rooted deep on the rock-of-our-faith that cannot be shaken in this chaotic world, just as the concrete piers for the telescopes that are built from the deep-ground bedrock to obtain a distant view of God's marvelous creation of deep-space Galaxies. 'Grow Deep and Live Strong' "
Dr. Premkumar Saganti
Founding Member and President OFUESI 2006-2008
"We live in a chaotic world, yet we are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses. That should encourage us to run our race with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith."
Bro. Paul Sudhakar Sunkari
Founding Member and President OFUESI 2005-2006
"Let the eternal priorities determine the temporal prosperities.
Treasure God’s promises not the worldly treasures.
Look for God at the chaotic crossroads for He knows all the roads ."
