ekubo ministries necklace giveaway

At the beginning of June, just a couple days before I left to go back home, I received a package from Dawn Patterson, of Funky Fish Designs. I've never been a necklace girl. Or any jewelry for that matter. But this necklace? It was too much. I was moved beyond words. I pulled it from the package and right away I saw the word Ekubo. Oh, how we prayed and discussed a name for our ministry for what seemed like forever. Ekubo is Luganda for "The Way". Remember that my blog is titled "Compass In My Heart"? When I named it, I didn't know where He was gonna send me but I knew I was so open to His will for my life that I'd go wherever. Looks like He showed me "The Way", so that's where our ministry's name came from. As I continued to admire the necklace, I saw a compass and then a heart. Oh, sweet Dawn! She couldn't have created this necklace to mean more than it did. Although I was NOT a jewelry person, this necklace made me be one. It was one of the most meaningful gifts I've ever gotten.

At the end of June, I was back in Uganda and Dawn asked me to get on chat. I found her online and she rocked my world yet again. She had created 2 special pieces for our ministry that she wanted to donate in hopes that they'd be used for us to raise some much needed funds. These are exactly like mine but also include a pearl. Uganda is called "the pearl of Africa".


Ekubo Ministries is crazy excited to offer you a chance to win one of these very unique necklaces. Your donation of $5 puts you in the drawing and helps us continue our work being the hands and feet of Jesus to our village of approximately 1500 (with over half of those being children under the age of 12). We don't have partnerships with huge organizations. We don't have businesses that cut us a huge check every month that help us with the never-ending needs that we see on a daily basis. We just put ourselves on the alter every single day and trust that He will provide. And He does that through His body. YOU. The CHURCH. $5 here, $10 there, $25 from this one, $50 from that one, and together, we've made a HUGE impact on this village that was once plaqued with Witchcraft. If you follow us on Facebook, you've heard more stories than I can share on here, even if I committed to blogging daily through the end of this year. God is serious about our work for Him in Bugabo Village. And He's serious about bringing people alongside us to ensure His work doesn't stop. With that in mind, we humbly ask for you to give freely. Give generously. Give, knowing that you're making a difference. Give, fully aware of His blessings on and in your life.
