Prior to our team leaving for Marare, an 8 year old girl from our Northgate community brought a simple servant message to Uganda. I was touched. When we presented it to the the FH Staff in Mbale on our arrival, they were even more touched.
This girl chose, on her own, to designate any birthday monies to further the education of the children in Marare. In total, she collected $125! A humble, servant-heart attitude that we can all learn from! She saw the need, and humbly moved.
It was an honor for me to be able to present this to Moses. He promises a careful selection of school supplies for the children that need it most.
Rick Warren teaches us through God's word: 'God shaped us for servant hood; yet often we focus on self-centerdness.' What a challenge this 8 year old girl is to measure our own willingess to serve.
Take some time to reflect on the words of Matthew 20:25-28 -- "Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
