Our
special greetings to you! The year is coming to an end and very soon it’s going
to be Christmas😊
November
has been a month of reflecting on 2Timothy 4:1-5. We have been learning the importance
of emphasizing the Scriptures in this ministry. It has become paramount for us
to make this our ministry theme.
Our
Thursday Bible study groups at church have really grown. We have had new people
join - some from other churches, or some who have come to know the Lord and
have joined our church.
During
this season of emphasizing the Scriptures, Peninah gave her life to Jesus. We
had met Peninah three years ago when we were doing our Monday door-to-door
evangelism. At first she refused to believe in Jesus - she was not openhearted
to the gospel. This time round, she received Jesus with tears! This was the
first time I have seen tears flowing down the cheeks of someone receiving Jesus
after hearing the gospel. We prayed with
her and encouraged her to come to church. Our church – especially the ladies
will give her a special welcome and will encourage her and lead her to know
Christ more.
Therefore,
having these leaders texting and requesting more information about the seminars
is a sign that what we do makes sense for them and they would like to keep it
up. Many of these leaders have encouraged their congregations, not just to read
the Bible, but to put it into practice. Many of them have taken Bibles to the
churches in their villages. For us, this has been so encouraging, especially
when we see the leaders encouraging believers to have the Scriptures in their
homes.
We
continue to ask you to support us in our ministry, especially in the
distribution of Bibles. We
have been without Bibles for a while now. We
continue to trust the Lord that He will make provision to meet this need. Above is Pastor Mumpe Julius with Alex. Below is Pastor
David getting Bibles for his local churches back in Kyegegwa district.
Testimonies
from people following the evangelism medical team that came to treat the
village people have continued to emerge. A lady, whose name I don’t remember,
told me how her breast was healed after medication. She had a pain in her left
side breast and she was breast feeding. After getting medication from the medical
nurses, she eventually got well. Another lady had kids with high fever malaria,
and they were healed too. People who were tested for HIV were thankful for free
and quick testing of their blood. Mothers who had kids with flu were thankful
for treatment that made their kids better. The only disappointment was that we
have hardly had anyone thankful for the gospel that was shared that day ☹ - although we are sure that the seed we sowed
will sprout in its own time. Sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ is so
important.
Women
in our church have developed prayer altars in the homes of any person who
welcomes them. These are done every week on Friday and are led by church
members. Some of the people who have joined these prayer meetings have been
converted, and have come to know the Lord through the Word and the prayers
offered to them. The picture below is a recent one at Julius’ home. We had
Frolance share the Word and Scovia shared her testimony. Scovia was once
involved in witchcraft and had gone through a painful life serving Satan. She
is thankful for having met Jesus, and now has touching testimonies about what
the Lord had has done for her. The picture was taken without any lights. We
were praying for the boy in a yellow t-shirt whom the doctors had diagnosed with
blisters in his throat. Please join with us to pray for him that God will
restore his health.
