A Day of Worship, Service, and Testimony

We began our day bright and early at 8:00 am, gathering for worship at Shumba Village Meeting Church. It wasn’t a typical service as we might be accustomed to, but it clearly reflected the great need for laborers in God’s harvest. We were reminded of Jesus’ words in Matthew 9:37–38, that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few—a truth that felt especially real as we worshipped together.

Following the gathering, we shared the Days for Girls presentation with the women. Meanwhile, some of our team read Bible stories and played games with the children, filling the space with laughter and joy.

After a refreshing lunch break, we set out to visit widows in the community. During these visits, we were able to present a wheelchair to one family whose seven-year-old child cannot walk. Moments like this remind us why we are so grateful for the faithful donations received throughout the year. Seeing how these gifts help make daily life more manageable is a powerful testimony to God’s continued care for these widows and their families.

Later in the afternoon, we were deeply encouraged as several widows and team members shared their testimonies. What began as a simple day of service became something truly special and edifying.

Throughout the day, teamwork was clearly visible—expressed through compassion, a shared vision, and many unseen qualities that only develop through time spent together. We saw and experienced this firsthand today, and we are thankful. A heartfelt shout-out to a truly great team.
