Second Day Of Ministry :Mar. 25, 2025

March 29, 2025 Hebrews 13:16 says "And don't forget to do good and to share with others, for such sacrifices God is pleased with". This was the daily verse from my devotional that sent me on this mission. It amazes me how we always have in our mind, preplanned what our destination and purpose is going to look like only to learn you need to throw the rule book out on day one. I've never seen time flow so effortlessy. No hardened schedules, no clocks, fluid time frames and most important not to make assumptions on expectations for the day. As unsettling as this may sound to many of us, everything manages to get done that is needed, destinations are reached, three meals are eaten and sleep is generally achieved strangely making space for a sense of peace and calmness.These shifts in pace and assumptions elevates opportunities for a focus on relationships, apprectiation and serving others while opening yourself to the plethora of gifts others have to share in return. Today, we traveled to the village of Bumayoka to present a conference day held at the Church of God of (East Africa Uganda) Quality Education NUrsery and Primary School. Our mission group of 16 divided into their areas of speciality to provide skill building, new learning opportunities in the areas of pastoral counseling, womens fellowship group, marriage counseling, grief counseling, childrens education and fun activities. We spent the day that began when we arrived (Uganda time) and ended when we left! So much was shared and gained in all groups. God tells us we are all made in his likeness which was seen today as we were all one united by serving others and our common faith in our Lord. Colossians 3:12 says "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience." Based on this I witnessed some mighty fine children of God today who were all truly blessed. Carrie Spence
