Happy New Year! As we step into 2026, I am filled with gratitude for what God has done and expectation for what He is about to do. This is a season of new beginnings, a fresh start with God, a clean page, and an open heart. ECO is entering its third year of ministry, and I am amazed at how far the Lord has brought us since we launched in February 2024.
On January 22, we gathered for our monthly teaching, “New Season,” and it was a powerful reminder that God is doing something new in each of our lives. Looking ahead, the 21-Day Feast on Love Fast begins February 2, start preparing your heart now, ECO family. God is ready to move!
With love and purpose, Micheline Nelson, Founder
Featured Reflection
A New Thing in a New Season
As a new year begins, God is inviting us to release the old and embrace the new. He is doing a new thing in our relationships, in our purpose, and in our walk with Him. Whether you are believing for restoration, healing, or a fresh start, trust that the God who makes all things new is already at work in your life.
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” ~ Isaiah 43:19
As we begin a new year, our Marriage Ministry is renewing its focus on building and strengthening covenant marriages. Whether you are newlywed or celebrating decades together, God’s design for marriage remains the same, a reflection of His unconditional, everlasting love. This year, we are committed to equipping couples with prayer, resources, and community to help every marriage thrive.
Our ongoing work in Haiti continues to make a difference. Through the faithful giving and prayers of the ECO community, we have served over 10,500 meals to families in need, visited hospitals, supported widows, and ministered in prisons. Every act of love plants a seed of hope. As we enter a new year, we believe God for even greater impact on the ground in Haiti.

Lord, as we step into this new year, we surrender every plan, every relationship, every dream, and every fear into Your hands. Lead us in our relationships, our careers, and our purpose. We choose to trust You with our whole hearts and lean not on our own understanding. Direct our paths, Father, and make this year one of breakthrough and obedience. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6). In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I found ECO at the very start of this year, and it felt like God was handing me a gift. The daily reflections, the community prayers, and the teachings have given me such a strong foundation as I step into this new season. I finally feel like I have a faith family walking alongside me.
