🕊️ Worship in Cazenga’s Cariango Church

That morning, she visited a small Seventh-day Adventist church in Cazenga, known as Cariango. Though modest in size, the church was alive with faith. The walls echoed with prayers, and the congregation gathered with one purpose: to glorify the Lord.

🎶 Voices of Praise

The service began with a musical group of children, dressed in radiant red and white. Their voices rang out with joy, pure and innocent, lifting the hearts of all who listened.

Later, the central choir entered, clothed in blue and white, their harmonies blending into a symphony of worship. Every note, every song, was offered as praise to the Lord.

🌱 Growing Where God Has Planted

Sister Sofonie reflected on the meaning of being present in that place. Though the church was small, the Spirit was mighty. She realized that growth is not about where we wish to be, but about flourishing where God has placed us. Just as a seed grows when planted in good soil, so too must believers grow in the communities and circumstances God has chosen for them.
