This is one of the
districts in Uganda close to Lake Victoria at the extreme south eastern part.
This area has many groups of people: a cross East Africa (this contributes to
diversity of languages spoken here). Narrowing down divergence of this area,
our mission was to visit two local churches. We gave out bibles to Kakoma
church believers and some other
fellowship groups books. The number was overwhelming as you will see in the
photos. We had many children yet materials for children were very few, although
some at least go something.
We want to thank those that donated the funds for their love and great zeal to support this church by donating
to them a lot of money which we used to bible these bibles. A few people in
some of the areas off Kampala may not be able to afford to buy good translated
bibles. So, thank you for thinking about these people in Rakai. May the Lord bless
you.
There is a great hunger
for more bibles, we could not meet the capacity; nevertheless we trust the LORD
that He will provide and we go back again. When believers don’t read the bible
and pray through it, there is no way you can ever expect revival in that
society. So having such an opportunity from Uncle Dean and Madam we cannot take
that for granted. The Word of God stimulates the faith of believers.
We had missioners from
Tanzania who had come to minister at Kakoma
church. We had a real African praise for some of you who have ever been to
a village African church, where prayer is not limited by time. Here in Kampala
Sunday services are always limited by time unlike in the village. We started at
9:00 Am and finished at 3:00Pm. Dr. Lazarus preached (we had two preachers, one
from Tanzania and Dr. Lazarus). I, Simon and Marthar we worked on giving out
the bibles and registering their names.
At 4:00Pm we had to go
to the Mityebire church where we were in the previous mission to meet the group
of believers who had received Jesus and some who had re-committed themselves to
Jesus; to strengthen them. However there was miss-communication after they had
waited us for a long time and we could not meet them. But we were able to meet
a few individuals on personal contact. We prayed with them and read scripture
together: Mrs. Lois ministered to children in the village and she is greatly
gifted in the children and also in married couples. She encourages lots of
couples.
I thank God for Isha;
formally a Muslim girl who gave her life to Jesus. She received the bible and
she affirms that she is now part of the body of the church and reads her bible
as well.
·
Please pray for this
girl and the Mityebire church. This church has controversial eldership
committee which hinders its progress systematically.
·
Pray that God will
provide so that we go back this time with more bibles to meet this need.
