USE Education

Although some months has passed, I’m thrilled to share a few unforgettable photos! From April 22–25, 2025, over 80 officers gathered for the Renewal & Enrichment Convocation. During this inspiring event, we celebrated officers reaching incredible milestones—10, 20, 30, and 40 years of faithful service. What a joy to honor these dedicated soldiers of God, who continue to serve with passion and commitment. Truly, God is keeping His soldiers faithful and strong!

Day 7 & 8 - Educational Tour

Day 7 – Patmos
We sailed to the island of Patmos, often called the “Jerusalem of the Aegean.” Here we visited the church that houses the split rock where tradition says God descended upon the Apostle John, inspiring him to write the visions recorded in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 1:9–11). Standing in this sacred place reminded us of John’s faithfulness in exile and the hope given through Christ’s revelation of things to come.

Day 8 – Athens
On our final day of activities, we explored the historic Acropolis, gazing upon the ancient temples that once defined Greek worship. We then stood on Mars Hill (the Areopagus), where the Apostle Paul boldly preached the gospel to the Athenians (Acts 17:22–31). To conclude our journey, we visited the Athens Museum, immersing ourselves in the rich culture and history of Greece. Today, Greece is a Greek Orthodox nation, and our visit offered us a deeper appreciation of both its spiritual heritage and its historical influence on the world. Until next time. God Be with us all.

Day 6- Ephesus

We explored Ephesus, once a major port city of Asia Minor. We walked along the Marble Road, stood in the Great Theater where Paul preached (Acts 19:23–41), and viewed the Library of Celsus. The ruins testify to the city’s wealth, culture, and influence in the Roman Empire. Paul’s ministry here was powerful, as recorded in Acts 18–20, and his letter to the Ephesians continues to encourage believers to walk in unity and live out their faith in Christ.

Day 5- What a day to be in Corinth!

To walk where the Apostle Paul once stood—before Gallio’s judgment seat (Acts 18:12–16)—is to touch the living story of the New Testament. Corinth was a wealthy trade hub of the Roman Empire, known for both influence and immorality. Yet in this very city, Paul preached Christ boldly and stayed “a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them” (Acts 18:11).

Here, the message of the cross confronted worldly wisdom: “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2). And here, the Lord planted a church as a temple of His Spirit: “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16).

Standing in Corinth today is a reminder that God’s word takes root even in the most unlikely places.
