God's Glory!!!
Each Branch represents your lives and your families that are unified in this mission of serving the wonderful people of Uganda.
Numbered are the Ornaments reflecting the fruits of the labor of our friends and family here at home. Those who's hearts are tied to this mission of teaching, serving and giving to a beautiful people that are grateful for anything we bring in Jesus wonderful name.
In the center is our Trunk; the center of all that we are and the source of all we can accomplish,... reminding us of the strength we can only receive through Jesus Christ! Apart from Him we can can do nothing of eternal significance.
Tucked among the branches are the Gifts that we have been given to accomplish the work we have been commanded to do. These gifts equip us to make disciples of all nations, to serve and seek what is lost, to mourn with those who mourn and celebrate with those who celebrate. To feed the hungry, to visit the imprisoned, to visit and pray for the sick or weak and to sacrifice our lives for the Lords purpose.
And the Star at the top of the branches is the light that unifies us all. The light that we may shine into an ever present darkness wherever we are!!! It lights the way, gives us clarity and draws us together in perfect unity.
This tree, with God's Glory, represents the unity of His people, bound by giving spirits for the work he has commanded from all of us.
Jesus tells us that because of the light that shines from our unity,... others will will more clearly see His Glory and believe in Him.
“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." John 1:20-23
We can' thank you all enough for being a part of this mission which is so close to our hearts. We are grateful for your gracious gifts and prayers. Above all your love and support. Each of your gifts are an answered prayer that we count as provisions from God. And our greatest joy is that you all are serving the Lord with us as we are humbled to be a conduit.
As a result of everyones generosity through the Uganda Christmas Tree, we raised a total of $1653. When added to the rest of our contributions, we are 61% to our total goal of $6100. Please accept our overwhelming gratitude to you and your families. We can't wait to see God in action and share His story with each of you!
with overflowing Hope and exceeding Joy, Jason and Carrie K
