Who we are

Rooted in our inheritance.
Focused on our calling.

uMdala Julius Nelson didn’t arrive at this truth first and hand it down. He was still walking it when he taught it — and we walked it with him. That’s still how we study: together, not from ahead of each other.

Gifts & Callings: A Member of uSoNINI NaNINI’s Body

Oct 31, 2026

Every one of us was created on purpose, and along with that purpose the Most High placed a gift in each of us. Not rushing to do something with it. Not comparing it to someone else’s. Just understanding it — because you can’t walk well in what you don’t understand.
