…leader, Alfred, was introduced to our Go Camp team because he provided the land on which YWAM Labone has founded its new base. His gesture was only gradually accepted by his tribe members, and he has had to defend it many times. His own tribe wanted quick results. He swiftly led us up the mountain above.
The ‘For Tomorrow’ tribe are key partners for YWAM Labone and their name has made a big impression on me. Here, systemic poverty forces the vast majority, who live at subsistence level, to focus on today’s needs -a “For Today’’ tribe mentality, despite dwindling reserves. Personal needs of adults are often met at the expense of their children’s - tomorrow’s adults.
YWAM Labone staff want to partner for long-term solutions to deep issues. I’m realising even more now that a “For Tomorrow” Tribe way of thinking is vital amongst deaf and hearing educators, community and political leaders with vested interests wherever we live. I have also felt challenged to have even more of a tomorrow tribe mentality.
If I as a guest here in Arua, take today what is meant for tomorrow I steal my future. I have to keep seeking sustainable choices in our diet , fuels & plans. Scripture reminds me of the living God’s invitation for us to go further and join His ‘For eternity’ tribe– a tribe who wants to be transformed and to be life transformers, by His Word & Spirit. Ad
Titus 1v 1-2
Greetings from Paul,
a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
I was sent to help God’s chosen people have faith
and understand the truth that produces a life of devotion to God.
This faith and knowledge make us sure that we have eternal life. God promised that life to us before time began
—and God does not lie.
