The Day of Ubuntu

After our worship and commissioning, women of the conference were sent out in our "house" groups to villages around Lunsar on Wednesday. Women attending the convention had brought items from home to share with the families in the villages. Lots of blue bags had been prepared until 3 in the morning to be carried on this day.
Having no control over the photo placement, you should find Cindy in a sea of yellow and green shirts and all with blue bags on their heads. You will also see Matilda from the pink house all ready for the journey to the village assigned to pink. Another photo shows a woman (yellow) getting her offering adjusted for the walk. Another photo shows a proud young man sporting a new suit of clothing. Thanks Rita for capturing that moment.
The Day of Ubuntu was an amazing journey and what made it amazing was it was shared with our sisters in Sierra Leone. Memories were made, friendships were deepened and we will be moved as we continue to pray for and with our new family. We are one in the spirit...we are one in The Lord.

  1. Pink, blue and yellow! Awesome...and I bet you'll always have flashbacks to this day when you see those colors. Such a wonderful time you've had and memories to last forever! True Ubuntu Sisters now with the UMW of Sierra Leone. I'm in prayer for your safe return to the US.
