We want to thank all the people who stood with us in prayer
concerning the Men Of Honor Breakfast
20th June 2015. We had a good turn out though it rained heavily that
morning (Rain in the tropics is not predictable): Kampala is so venerable to drastic climatic changes
that at times it is unpredictable. fifty two people came (52). This time
around; married couples were invited to come together with their wives, this
was done because the topic we were dealing with involved both man and wife to
be present unlike in our past meetings. The speaker dealt well with the topic “Raising
A Godly Heritage”, Many couples appreciated this.
1.
The speaker (Eng. Isac Kasana) encouraged parents to love their
children and emphasized that children loving their parents does not necessarily
mean presence of all things but also when you are poor you can still love your
children.
2.
Family is so important to the church structure and its growth
therefore it must be administered with wisdom and with God’s leading through
prayer.
3.
Parents should learn and avoid dividing their children and work
towards unity in the family. In conclusion he encouraged parents to live a life
that mirror Christ that will in turn demonstrate the kind of life their
children should live.
As an organization (Proclaim-Africa), we think this is a good
strategy since good families leads to a health church and nation. If you have
been following our blog, you remember the couples’ retreat we had, many parents
were touched and a lot of testimonies shared. So, this is a good trend that
Proclaim-Africa is taking.
Simon and I continue to learn a lot as the Lord leads us to
minister and go along the people who have been in ministry from time of their
childhood. It is such a joy to be around people who honour God both in words
and actions (people whose life is Christ drenched). It’s a joy and we want to
praise the Lord for that.
Despite of the fact that we have been trained theologically and
we can handle the Word with great care and diligence in preaching and teaching;
we have learnt that ministry of the Word is full of challenges thus it calls
for a mind that focuses of God the sustainer and perfector of our faith.
Very soon we will start Romans Project Conferences in Gulu,
Lira, Fort portal and Kitugumu. These conferences needs a lot of preparations,
there are a lot of details involved if they are to take place. Please pray for us that God will bring His
own to hear His word.

you are interested in reading our ministry Newsletter (Proclaim-Africa), please
email us and we can always send it to you.
May
the good Lord continue being with you; “Devote
yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; praying at the same time
for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may
speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; that
I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak.
(Colossians 4:2-4 NASB).
In
the Lamb;
Alex
and Simon here in Uganda.
