Being in the spirit of Ubuntu

Whenever there was singing, there was dancing.   Worship
is experienced fully.  

Gathered in a shady spot, the "Pink House" discussed issues
of gender equality and violence against women. Rita and Randie
lead  a discussion with biblical input and small group discussion.    

One day the USA Ubuntu team lead workshops for the UMWO membership gathered for their annual meeting.  We were facilitators and found common ground for our concerns in issues discussed and studied.    

Many of these women have also great expeiences with School of Christian Mission (now Mission U) studies.   UMW leadership empowers women throuigh education. 

 

 

 

 

 

We have much to be share with our women at home about how eager these women are for the opportunity to come together.   Remember.. this is their annual meeting.  It lasts for 7 days and some women walked for 3 days to arrive in time.  

 

In the weeks ahead, this blog will tell the story of the women's ministries that our Mission Pledge supports in Sierra Leone.   We are supporting amazing projects  and giving hope to many.  Hope you will return after the holidays to learn more about these projects.    

 

40 plus sets of knitting needles were put to use teaching
women to knit.   A big hit thanks to Mary and Cindy.
