Cultivating a Culture of Giving and Service: A Heartwarming Fun Day with Deliverance Church Umoja

At Destiny Shapers Foundation, we are passionate about building bridges of compassion, empathy, and collective care. One of the most inspiring expressions of this mission came to life during a recent event that perfectly embodied a culture of giving and service — a special Fun Day with children and teachers from Deliverance Church Umoja.

From the moment the church group arrived, the air was filled with excitement and warmth. Laughter echoed through the grounds as children engaged in games, songs, and joyful interactions with our learners. It wasn’t just a day of fun — it was a powerful reminder of what happens when communities come together in the spirit of generosity and love.

Play, Prayer, and Purpose

The day began with vibrant games that brought the children together across backgrounds. From running races to group games that sparked endless laughter, play was a universal language that connected hearts. Soon after, the atmosphere shifted beautifully into a time of collective prayer, as we held hands and lifted our voices in unity.

We believe that combining spirituality and joy strengthens the bonds between children and builds a community centered around shared values. Deliverance Church Umoja’s presence truly enriched this spiritual fellowship.

Sharing Gifts and Talents

The highlight of the day was the presentations shared by both the visiting and resident children. Songs, poems, dances, and words of encouragement flowed freely, showcasing not only talent but a genuine love for others. These presentations fostered a sense of identity, confidence, and deep appreciation for each child’s unique voice.

More than just entertainment, these moments nurtured emotional intelligence and provided opportunities for children to learn how to serve, give, and lead — essential values in cultivating a culture of giving and service.

Feasting in Fellowship

As the event unfolded, one moment stood out as a heartfelt symbol of unity — the meal we shared. Seated as one big family, we enjoyed a sumptuous lunch served with love and received with gratitude. There’s something truly special about sharing food — it brings people closer, breaks barriers, and speaks volumes about inclusion and care.

The smiles on the children’s faces, the quiet acts of serving one another, and the loud laughter that erupted over spilled juice or second helpings — these are the memories that stay with us.

Donations That Make a Difference

We are deeply grateful to the Sunday School ministry and the entire Deliverance Church Umoja family for the generous donations of clothes, books, and food. These acts of kindness have a ripple effect. For children who may not always have access to these essentials, receiving them is more than charity — it’s hope, it’s dignity, and it’s love in action.

Your donations were received with gratitude and joy, and they will continue to serve long after the Fun Day ends.

Why Cultivating a Culture of Giving and Service Matters

At the heart of every thriving society is the value of giving, not out of abundance, but out of love. A culture of giving and service teaches children that they are not only receivers but givers. That even in their small ways, they can impact lives. It encourages empathy, responsibility, and connection to a greater purpose.

By partnering with organizations like Deliverance Church Umoja, we show children what it looks like to serve others joyfully. Whether through play, prayer, presentations, or donations, the lesson remains clear: every act of kindness matters.

A Final Word of Thanks

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Deliverance Church Umoja, especially the Sunday School ministry, for choosing to be a blessing to this community. You have reminded us what it means to serve with heart, to give without expectation, and to love unconditionally.

Your presence not only brightened our day but also planted seeds of kindness and purpose in the lives of children who will carry these lessons into the future.
