Report for September
We are glad to let you again what the Lord is doing in us
and His people around us that He has enabled us meet and minister to-as the 1800
preacher Dwight L. Moody put it “The World has yet to see what God can do with and for and
through and in and by the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him… I
will try my utmost to be that man”.(God's
Generals).
For most of you who have been following this ministry, you
discover that our biggest aim and centrality is the gospel. As we put our entirety to planting a local
church, there are so humongous fruits that God has allowed see and reap;
sinners who have repented and turned to Jesus.
We hope God’s grace has continuously shone on you!
We endlessly thank God who initiated an open door to attend
Pastoral General meeting that takes place monthly (First Saturday of the Month).
As we have interacted with them, most pastors here has got less or no access to
christian libraries where they can do extended bible reading or sermon
preparations. Due to this fact, as Lungala Bible Ministries and together with
Godly and men and women of God, we decided to donate a bible study bible to
each pastor that comes to this monthly meeting. So far we have given out 31
study bible copies. Our major aim is to equip church leaders who may have not
got access to Bible colleges with necessary information and bible tools.
So many pastors have benefited from this and bellow is a
caption of jovial pastors as they received their bibles in a pastoral meeting
in Mpigi. Learning how to preach is a problem in most churches here. We trust
God that one time we shall have a seminar on “HOW TO PREPARE A BIBLICAL SERMON
“.
Children ministry:
Every week when it comes to Sunday the excitement is not
only about the fellowship here but also meeting the children in the evening.
I am moved by the strength of their memories for the songs
and the first five questions of the children catechism. It feels like we just
started yesterday but the achievements are for a life time. The best song so
far is “ J for Jesus O for others and so on…”.
Please continue to pray that the Holy spirit leads me as I teach
the this catechism which I am translating to Luganda.
As Luganda Bible Ministries we lay roots to bringing the
gospel to sinners, and emphatically grounded on discipleship. So that converts
and growing Christians develop un immovable relationship with God from a sound
mind. We have three programs i.e. Fundamentals Of Faith, and Soul (Christianity Explored). These two programs aim at strengthening
believers but also evangelic in nature to none believers. These programs are so
far targeting high schools especially prefects (Youths) and we have many who have joined and moving testimonies
from these high school youths.
Schools have been on break and they just opened recently,
so we have kicked of with the Word of God, below are students pausing for a
picture after learning the Bible in one
of the schools.
Being a new term from holidays I was overjoyed to hear each
of the students report in the FOF class. And how they have used these lessons
to do ministry in their churches And community. Daphne is using the experience
of FOF to evangelize to her siblings, Nakato is doing Sunday school in the home
church. Most rewardingly Babirye shared with me her inability to share the
gospel because of her backslidden mother who gives her no liberty to go to
church, more so being that Babirye had a
problem of biting teeth at night the mother wanted to take her to the gods but
she refused due to her defense that she is born again and she can’t displease
her God to go to the small gods but only to trust the Lord. I was so encouraged
to hear that and each of their projects that have hatched out of this programs.
As we shared with you last month, the biggest enemy of
Christ's church in Africa is syncretism! As you read, after learning in this
program, she said no to idolatry. We are still encouraging her and praying for
her. God is doing great things in these activities. Discipleship is a hard work
but it grounds many in the faith of Christianity.
The Lord has blessed us with rain, it has been too hot; and
as agriculturalists, for us that is our joy to plant seeds for the season.
Farming has greatly supported us in this ministry, we do
use some of our harvests for the work of God. Our passion fruits are really doing well. And most of them
are putting flowers/fruits.
·
Thank you for your prayers, we ALWAYS need support for MORE bibles.
·
Thank you for praying to this
ministry and us as well.

Continue to pray for God's provision
for a tent for our prayer meetings.
In the Lamb
