"A few days back, I joined forces with my like-minded friends on a heartwarming journey to a Makoko slum in Lagos, Nigeria. Our mission was twofold: to extend acts of kindness and to share the gospel's light (Mark 16:15). 🙏🏽

"The day brought a mix of emotions. On one hand, witnessing the receptive young souls, children beaming with promise, and parents embracing hope, filled my heart with joy.

"Yet, it was also a poignant experience. The sight of the distressed environment, dilapidated homes, and the immense challenges these resilient people face on a daily basis, left me profoundly moved. 😢🏚️

"Our journey reminded me that there's immense beauty in uniting for a cause, shedding light in the darkest corners, and sowing seeds of hope.
