The #CulturalConnectionChallenge is a social media movement that encourages people from all walks of life to share and celebrate the richness of their cultures, while also learning and appreciating the cultures of others. The challenge promotes unity, understanding, and respect through the sharing of cultural traditions, stories, recipes, languages, and family histories. Participants are invited to: 1. **Share a Cultural Tradition or Story:** Participants film themselves or share photos engaging in a cultural activity, sharing a tradition, cooking a family recipe, or telling a story that’s important to their heritage. 2. **Tag & Pass it On:** After sharing, they must “pass the baton” by tagging three people from different cultural backgrounds to share their own stories or experiences, creating a chain of cultural connections. 3. **Learn & Share Something New:** To add a layer of cultural exchange, participants are encouraged to learn something from a culture different from their own and share what they’ve learned with their followers. For example, they might try a traditional dish from another culture, learn a few words in a new language, or explore a different cultural holiday. 4. **Spread it Locally:** Participants are encouraged to take the challenge offline by hosting small gatherings, family events, or community dinners where they can connect with others from different cultures. They can then share highlights from these gatherings online. How to Participate 1. Record a short video or share a photo of you engaging in a cultural activity, sharing a story, or participating in a tradition. 2. Tag three people from different cultures and challenge them to do the same. 3. Use the hashtag #CulturalConnectionChallenge and encourage others to get involved. 4. Include a message like: “Let’s connect across cultures by celebrating what makes us unique and learning from one another!” “Let’s break down barriers and celebrate the beauty in our differences! 🌍✨ Join the #CulturalConnectionChallenge by sharing a tradition, story, or experience from your culture, and then challenge three friends from different backgrounds to do the same. Let’s connect across cultures and create a world where understanding and unity lead the way. 🌿❤️ #ConnectingAcrossCultures”

Good morning co laboursrs. I wanted to share my thoughts this morning as we ascend to our pulpits this morning. Don’t forget to nurture those young Timothy’s in your congregation. May the Words that God speaks and conveys through you this morning penetrate their hearts this morn8bv. It is interesting that right al9ng side our NT epistles that Paul wrote to Timothy. In my sanctified mind this morn8ng I asked God what does that have to do with church. One Word……………..Discipleship and Nurturing the call of God upon those whom God is calling into the ministry. But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6 I am grateful this morning for the men that have drug me to Christians camps, prayer meetings and church because they were Godly men that were disciplers. I’m a recipient of a preachers pastoral library and books that have gone on to Glory ⬇️ and one morning things begin to make sense. 😂 God bless you this morning, preach well and don’t forget about the Timothy’s this morning! 🔥 In His Grip Pastor Rev Damion Young Seeds Of Greatness Ministries
