January
2017 News letter
Greetings
to you in Jesus' name! We are glad to share with you good news from Lungala
Bible Ministries. We are committed to loving and bring full transforming gospel
to our community
(preach
the word; be ready in season and out of season; re-prove, rebuke, and exhort,
with complete patience and teaching. 2 Timothy 4:2 ESV)
While we were entering the new year , Simon & I, we had many invitations from churches around to go and preach there. I was
called to preach on radio during lunch hour (21st/12/2016). It was a
great moment as I did the work of an evangelist. And Simon to was invited to
preach in the city suburbs of Kampala. So, we had quiet a bit of preaching engagements
thereafter. In these preaching engagements, 5 people came to Jesus including
one M lady.
Ministry
of the bibles:
We thank God so much when each day continue
to uphold and make us grow more in Him. There is a tremendous work that He has
done in whoever this ministry touches. People come from kilometers and
kilometers to here: either they have questions that need to be addressed
biblically or they want bibles. Below is a photo of Pr. Justus, a father of 7
kids. He has been in this community for a long time. He is such an enthusiastic
man and he is willing to help once our community church tent is ready.
He bought bibles for his
family. He was so grateful to the Lord. As a local church in a community
growing everyday, we continue to address our of living biblically and also pray
for people who have demonic attacks ( We Know some of you have never incurred these
situations).
People
continue to appreciate the ministry of bibles far beyond our capacity. This
letter your yet to see was written to us by a young youth who leads a community
church sometimes on behalf of his father, see how it reads;
Below
is a group brethren from a nearby village; who invited me to preach at their
church.
The
believers were in great need on bibles. The few I took with me were like a drop
in the Ocean. I preached and one lady came to Jesus. She was also able to get
herself a bible. Below is a caption of people who got a Luganda bible;
Believers from Senene village. On left behind a lady
in light blue is Alex. They were so happy and the leader of this church has
often met us from our house and discussing the ideas for church
revitalization.
The
photo below is Kevin who was attached by demons, he could not understand anything
for two days. We prayed for him in those two days, fighting us, 5 men would
hold him as demons never wanted us to pray for him. At some situations he over
powered us and ran away and we got him back. As we plant this community church,
know these are some of the things we will have to be dealing with. In the
photo, he had come to his senses and since then, he is now fine. We want to have him in
discipleship/ the discipline of reading the bible.
That
was our fellowship group praying for him and his mother at extreme left. And
Simon next to the man in green T-shirt. Our church is growing, as you have been
following our reports, we believe God for a tent for our fellowships. As I
write, I have just been talking to a mother whose daughter was attacked /
bewitched. She was mad for three month. The church stood with her in prayers
for all this period and now she is fine. She says many people have come to her
with lots of doubts, thinking she must have went to witches. So, the church has
to address these and direct people to God.
There
is a great move of pastors around here working together, we have seen this in
the monthly meeting we have; this will enable the gospel to travail quickly to
the lost.
Farming
God’s way:
Our
passion fruit garden in not really well, it has been too hot. We are now using
watering can to irrigate: we need rain.
Some passion fruits are
dying. We lost our lettuce garden, the heat has been too much. We lie under
tropical region where its normally cool, we have not experienced this sunshine
for along time.
The
sweet potatos dried up because of too much sunshine. People are now shifting
from crop farming to animal keeping due to this dry spell.
We
wish to thank you all for your prayers and support to see this work of God
moving, may God bless you. And that God will give us rain.
Yours
Alex
and Simon
(Uganda-Africa).
