Always in motion

Some work never finishes. It simply continues.

These are the ministries that carry on week after week, whether or not there is a photograph to mark the day.

Every arm in the air
01 / 08

A Christmas party in pyjamas, with a gift for every child.

The children arrived in their Christmas pyjamas to a room strung with lights and snowflakes. There were glow sticks and medals, laughter on the mats, and a long row of gift bags waiting. Each child came forward by name to receive one, and the night ended with every arm in the air.

The blessing
01 / 05

Children brought before God, and welcomed by the church.

Under a canopy of white flowers, a family carried their little ones to the front. The pastor took the baby in his arms and prayed a blessing over him, while the church stood with the family. When the service ended, the stage belonged to the children.

“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee.”

Jeremiah 1:5
Everyone listening
01 / 05

Around the table, the church becomes a family.

Some of our best moments do not happen at the pulpit. They happen over a shared plate, at a long table where someone takes the microphone and everyone listens, and in the photographs mothers and children ask for before going home.

Together in Washington, D.C.
01 / 12

A book opened, signed, and shared in Washington, D.C.

On a Washington, D.C. sidewalk, pages were turned, a pen was passed along, and copies of 365 Hebrew Calendar | Prophetic Revelations were read and signed together. The conversation was warm, the laughter was real, and the moment ended with photographs to remember it by.

In loving memory

We mourned His Royal Majesty King Oyo of Tooro.

HESM stood with the Royal Family and the people of Tooro in a season of profound loss, remembering a king who reigned from childhood for nearly thirty-one years.
