Desmond Tutu said, "In my culture and tradition the highest praise that can be given to someone is, "Yu, u nobuntu", an acknowledgement that he or she has this wonderful quality, ubuntu. It is a reference to their actions towards their fellow human beings; it has to do with how they regard people and how they see themselves within their intimate relationships, their familial relationships and within the broader community. Ubuntu addresses a central tenet of African philosophy: the essence of what it is to be human."

Ubuntu! The definition of this concept has two parts. The first is that the person is friendly, hospitable, generous, gentle, caring and compassionate. In other words, someone who will use their strengths on behalf of others - the weak and the poor and the ill - and not take advantage of anyone. This person treats others as he or she would be treated. And because of this they express the second part of the concept which concerns openness, large-heartedness.

Ubuntu expresses the teaching of Jesus to treat others with the love and respect with which we would like to be treated. Jesus embodied Ubuntu when he declared , "The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, BECAUSE... he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free!" There is always a "BECAUSE," a reason why we have been given so much, a reason why we have been rescued, a reason why we have the abilities we do. The simple reason is BECAUSE a broken humanity is waiting for us to reach out in love and touch them with eternity! This is going to be an amazing life altering, future focussing, God empowering conference and I'D LOVE YOU TO JOIN ME!
