From Worship to Witnessing: A Journey Across Luanda Spreading the Light of Christ
Sabbath 04 October, 2025
Sister Sofonie Dala, a devoted daughter of God, continues to live a life patterned after the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Each Sabbath, she travels to different regions, visiting churches, encouraging fellowship, and uplifting communities in faith. This sacred routine not only strengthens her spiritual walk, but also brings hope and inspiration to others.
On this blessed Sabbath, Sister Sofonie visited the Church of God in Tunga-Ngo, Cazenga, located just behind the Cajueiros Hospital. There, she joined the local congregation in heartfelt praise and worship. It is always a joy to witness how brothers and sisters in Christ come together in unity to honor the Lord—reminding us of the power of communal worship and the beauty of the Sabbath.
✨ Jesus and the Sabbath: A Biblical Example
Jesus Himself gave us the perfect example of observing the Sabbath. In Luke 4:16, it is written:
“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.”
This verse reminds us that attending worship on the Sabbath was Jesus’ regular practice. He honored the Sabbath, not only as a day of rest, but as a divine appointment for spiritual renewal and service to others.
🕊️ The Meaning of the Sabbath
The Sabbath is a day of rest, reflection, and worship, instituted by God Himself during creation:
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God…”— Exodus 20:8–10
It is a sign of our relationship with the Creator (Ezekiel 20:20), a reminder of God’s power in both creation and redemption, and a foretaste of eternal rest to come.
Afternoon Mission: Spreading the Word in Ingombota
The day of ministry did not end there. After the morning service, Sister Sofonie Dala continued her mission, heading to the municipality of Ingombota, where she joined fellow believers at the Seventh-day Adventist Central Church of Luanda, located on Luanda Island.
This special gathering was attended by government representatives and religious leaders of the North Mission, all united in a common purpose: to share hope. Together, they distributed thousands of copies of the book “A Chave da Virada”, which translates to “The Key to the Turning Point” in English.
What a powerful and impactful way to spend the Sabbath—worshiping, fellowshipping, and actively sharing the love of God with the community.
May Sister Sofonie's journey be an encouragement to all of us to live lives of service, follow Christ's example, and honor the Sabbath as a day of worship, rest, and outreach.
