KAWUKA HOUSE CHURCH

I had my camera but there is no way to capture this group. Claudia started counting and gave up at 90. We don't count the children. We had asked Dickend to go with us to give this group a Ugandan face. Dickens is one of young people who has caught the vision. Pray that he might be available to lead this group and we would then work in the background. He did a great job sharing from the Book of Acts, and several were saved.

Please pray for this house church. They want to meet on Sundays as well as being trained on Wednesday. We meet in the open, a big tree that many can get under but not all. It had rained all morning but they were there waiting on us.

How many can you get in a Rav4?

After services at Kawulu, Claudia and these ladies were going on for T4T at Buziga. Dickens, who went to preach at Kawuka, was in the front with me. Claudia and three other ladies(not so small) were in the back seat, with two more in the very back(no seats). After about 5km, Dickens and I got out and rode boda-bodas home, and left the rav with the ladies.

Gulu - Celebration Point

Celebration Points are where the House Churches come together on Sunday. Ugandans feel they must be at church on Sunday, even though they have had House Church during the week.

GULU - On the Move

GULU & KIKAAYA

These past three days have been fast and furious! Evert and I went to Gulu in the north to encourage one of our House Church Leaders, Paul. We shared the Lord, encouraged the people, and by far, we were encouraged by their faithfulness to share Jesus with others.

Today, I went with Pastor Benin and Godfrey (Claudia was unable to go because of Malaria) to Kikaaya, a house church less than six weeks old. They were mostly Muslims who have now trusted in Jesus. We have given them Bibles. It was exciting to see them using their Bibles for the first time and helping each other find the passages as Benin shared Scriptures dealing with baptism. He has also taught them to sing. I was so blessed to sit back, watch, and pray as these Ugandan brothers did everything.

Please pray for the work and for LEADERS. They don’t need to see a “white” face leading. We are working our Ugandan brothers overtime… and they never complain.

UNBELIEVABLE and no camera!

Yesterday was one of those days when God just opened heaven and poured out the BIG blessings! Of course, there are really no degrees of blessings with God, just with us. Anyway, we were off the Kawuku and then Buziga. Two house church meetings back to back. We had enjoyed lunch with friends and did not go back by the apartment to get the camera, rushing to get to ministry. So there are no pictures!

When we arrived at Kawuku, they had changed the meeting place (bigger tree and more shade) and there were more than 100 people gathered waiting to hear the Word of God. I could hardly believe, in three weeks, the house church had more than doubled. More than 15 prayed to receive Christ. What a day! Oh, and we gave out a half box of Bibles. They are eager to get their own Bible. Thanks to wonderful friends in our home church, KBC, and FBC, Brandon, Mississippi, we have Bibles to give them.

Please pray for this group. I have been preaching, and while I really enjoy it, we need a Ugandan preacher/leader.
