What would be like to be on 'the Line' of prostitutes in Kolkota? Then to have your life transformed. Kundula is one such person. Self denial sets the prisoner free and the prisoner may well be you.
2. Then God said, “Let us make humankind in
our image, according to our likeness; and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the birds of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the wild animals of the
earth, and over every creeping thing that
creeps upon the earth.”
3. 27 So God created humankind in his image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
4. 28 God blessed them, and God said to them,
“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth
and subdue it; and have dominion over the
fish of the sea and over the birds of the air
and over every living thing that moves upon
the earth.”
5. 29 God said, “See, I have given you every
plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all
the earth, and every tree with seed in its
fruit; you shall have them for food.
6. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to
every bird of the air, and to everything that
creeps on the earth, everything that has the
breath of life, I have given every green plant
for food.” And it was so.
7. 31 God saw everything that he had made,
and indeed, it was very good. And there was
evening and there was morning, the sixth
day. Genesis 1: 26 - 30
8. Almost every personal defeat begins with our
failure to know ourselves, to have a clear
view of our capabilities (negative and
positive), our propensities, our weak sides.

11. This year’s receptacle is part of the story of
seeing Christ’s Kingdom established.
Produced by Freeset from material sourced in
Murshidabad, these cotton bags represent
lives redeemed from the threat of poverty
and oppression.
12. Every thread has been woven by someone
who has been given a chance to find
meaningful work, providing for their
household, ending one family’s story of
trafficking, slavery and despair. These bags
tell of good news for the poor. They are the
work of prisoners set free and the very fabric
of God’s favour in this place.
13. My Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
My kingdom come.
My will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Because you see its really all about me
14. Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
