The establishment of the United Lutheran Church relied on the Lord Himself and on the faith of our religion. Each of the ministers now being ordained must follow the same example and know that at all times the Lord will walk with them, if they walk with the Lord. The United Lutheran Church also identified the importance of creating a new theology for Africa based on the service of the people. This church is completely dedicated to the people, because it belongs to the people and has not departed from the evangelic vocation. Jesus Christ Himself came amongst men to serve them.
Redemption is to serve and to sacrifice one s own interests for the benefit of others.
We must admire those who have chosen a life of service by becoming ministers of the United Lutheran Church. They have the greatest honour any man can achieve, which is the honour of serving the Lord and through Him serving our fellow men and women. The great wealth is that of giving and the great honour is that of serving. All those who serve in the ministry of religion have made a vow of poverty and service, even though some often belong to churches that are wealthy and opulent. The wealth of religion is in the hearts of the people and in the service and dedication of those who serve the people in the name of the Lord.
