December 2018 News

It is our pleasure to bring you good news about the family of Male; his wife  Babirye; their son; and Male’s grandmother, Mamma Pauline. With such great joy, we want to thank God so much for shining His light on this family which had lived in darkness for ages (right from their grandparents).

Simon with Male, Babirye, and their boy

As Lungala Community Bible Church we had a week of fasting and praying at the beginning of this month; praying that God through His Spirit would convert the souls of our village friends and transform their lives to know Him.

We decided to do this after discovering that our community has got a lot of people who believe and practice witchcraft. We have been reluctant to communicate this because we realized that very few people knew about it. Even we ourselves hardly understood the intensity of this practice and belief, until God saved some ladies in our church who had been taking part in witchcraft.

Prayer and fasting meeting

Anyway,  Male came to Jesus on 2rd December, along with his family and their grandmother before the church. The congregation was so happy and showed them a warm welcome in the house of God.

We did not know that he had been a witchdoctor, but when Simon announced the fasting period to the congregation, he showed up the following day. It wasn't until the third day of our fasting that he called Alex and asked if he could help him and guide him away from witchcraft. Male said to Alex: “I have been practicing witchcraft since 2006. Can you help me to burn all the witchcraft stuff? But will it not turn on me and kill me?” From Alex’s brotherly chat with Male after his conversion, he said he was too tired of serving Satan.  Friends, witchcraft is real, and you can only be kept away from it if you’re in Christ. If you’re not covered with the blood of Jesus, it can even back fire and kill you (Mark 9:14-29).  Male says that there were too many demands on him from demons, and his life and family were always having problems. You may remember sometime back that we wrote shortly about child sacrifice in Uganda, and that one of the leading causes of this is witchcraft! Up to this day there are reports in newspapers about innocent young kids being sacrificed for satanic worship. Now that we have seen Male coming to Jesus, we know that God is restoring peace in the hearts of people in Uganda and Africa.

Second from the left is Male (in black and white striped tee-shirt), and Pauline on the left. Pauline (who is in her 70s) inherited witchcraft from her grandparents. You can see how Satan can hold families for a long time.

You might be interested in knowing how Male found out about our church. Some time ago we were doing door-to-door evangelism in the evening and we came to Pauline’s home and shared the gospel with her. She refused to receive Jesus, but she allowed us to pray with her before we left. After a period of roughly 8 months, her grandson Male built near her home. He shared with her how he was tired of witchcraft. Pauline told him that she would guide him to our church where he could receive help. Finally, early one Sunday morning, they came to our church, and finally they both received Jesus as Saviour and Lord. They brought two sacks full of spears, knives, pipes, and bark clothes etc. – the things they were using to call and serve demons. We burnt all this as you see in the pictures.

These are the things he used in the satanic shrine. Some of this stuff was unknown to Male as he was told never to open the bags to see what was inside them.




That is how easily witchcraft can blind people. I opened the bags and called him to see what was in there. Some of the church members were there, but others feared to come as they thought it might attack them.

On the left is Alex unfolding the things Male was using at the shrine.
On the right, they are all being burned. Hallelujah!                                                                                                        
          


Let's continue to pray for the many witchdoctors in this community and district that they might come to know the truth and receive Jesus. We need to share the gospel, and love these people who are held in darkness. 

Our ministry is making progressive changes, and in many ways touching the lives of people through the gospel. Despite the many stumbling blocks we face, we praise the Lord that His message is reaching out to people.  

We have a couple of other things to report to you. The Lord has done great things to this ministry. Since we started this ministry (in our house to start with) we did not have a pulpit. So we have been using chairs to place our books or Bibles on during the preaching sessions. Therefore it has been of interest to us as a church to buy a pulpit. We started saving towards it, and this month the Lord enabled us buy one, and here it is. Simon did a lot of work to order it and bring it from Kampala out to where we live.

Secondly, Alex was invited to a three day conference, where he spoke about the 'Importance of a Bible for a Christian’. It was a joyous time, and many brethren regained their love for Bibles. This department has steadily gained momentum with the churches and village people we reach out to. It was a village organized conference where there were about 100 people from near-by churches. This is again where I met a pastor leading a local church who had a Bible which was old, with some chapters torn or missing. This servant of the Lord told me that at their church there was a great need for Bibles, but the cost of local language Bibles was too high for them to afford – even for the pastor! So, we will try to stand with this church and make Bibles available to them at affordable prices. 

As a ministry, we take this moment to wish you a fantastic 2019 and a blessed Merry Christmas.

Prayer requests

1. Pray for the family of Male to stand strong in the Lord.
2. Provision for this ministry, and Bibles for the village people.
3. Wisdom as we lead this ministry

Love to you all, and thanks so much for your support.

Alex and Simon.

                                       

November 2018 News

“It implies that the gospel will go to all of the elect. The redemptive truth must go to the ends of the earth inasmuch as there are elect in ‘…every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation’ (Rev. 5:9). Paul, realizing this, was willing to suffer during his ministry since he knew that he endured ‘… all things for the elect’s sakes, that they also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory’ (2 Tim. 2:10). This has been true missionary motivation” (Kenneth Good, Lost and found).

It’s such a blessing to bring to you our second-to-last newsletter for this year. November was meant to be a special month for us, in which we had planned to have two special missions: graduation of high school students under our discipleship programs (Christianity Explored); and the evangelism mission on Lake Victoria Island. But even though we were unable to accomplish them, we highly appreciated your prayers for those activities. We hope the Lord will enable us to achieve them next year. As we were planning for these missions, the words of Kenneth Good were of great encouragement. Though we are only a small ministry, we remain fully committed to evangelism missions wherever God leads us to share the gospel with people.

In the picture below, we were meeting our long time New Zealand friends who are here in Uganda for a short term visit. We had a great time catching up together again 😊. They had been serving the Lord in Uganda for over 5 years with a certain NGO for orphaned kids. Warwick and Marilyn have been a great contributing factor to the ministry we lead now. They used to visit us in high school, and have been an encouragement to us since then. When school was getting more difficult, especially for Alex, they used to come and pray for us. We really thank God for them - for their kindness and long term relationship.

Warwick & Marilyn Dingle

Below is part of Mamma Proscovia’s family (the one I had an accident with on our motor bike as we were heading for ministry in the villages). As you can see, the Lord has healed her. The photo was taken when they showed up very early at church one Sunday. Mamma Proscovia is on the second from left holding a baby. She recently brought her oldest daughter Milly to greet us, and also for us to pray for her. Milly (in blue long dress), in the course of prayer, gave her life to Jesus!!! She now works in Asia, and is fully secure in the Lord Jesus. Proscovia is a single mother who is totally committed to Jesus, and has persuaded all her family to come to Jesus. She is part of this church.

If you haven’t seen any images of our church and home compound, here they are!

Nakaye has trained some teenage girls to sing, so we now have a small choir (Below). She has also trained the Sunday school children how to read the Bible. Actually, during the morning devotion today with Simon leading, Nakandi, who is part of the Sunday school, led the reading and helped alongside Simon.

As you might know, church planting is a difficult and challenging work to do. But when you see God raising up servants and fellow ministers, you just have to praise His name. Furthermore, a few girls from the Sunday school have now started to come earlier to set up the church and arrange it for the whole service. This is how God is raising up church leaders here in our simple church. 

You might remember that we talked about Mugura in the August newsletter and blog. His life has had an amazing turn-around from satanic worship; drugs and alcohol. Then he came to Jesus, and his whole life has changed. He lives in another village where believers had no Bibles, but he has put in a lot of effort to come and get Bibles for them – he walks 7 km to get to our home for Bibles. Mugura is poor and earns little money. But he is happy because he has a Bible; he helps others to get Bibles; and He preaches the gospel. Below is a photo of him getting more Bibles.

We would appreciate your prayers for the following

1. Please pray for Milly as a new Christian in a Muslim country, and that she will make connection with some Christians there
2. Winning souls for Christ in this community
3. Financial provision for the ministry and Bibles
4. Ministry land

Blessings to you all,

Alex and Simon.

October 2018 News

And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and rise from the dead... (Acts 17:2-3). 

Below are students at St. John's; and during our Christianity Explored discipleship program they have progressed into the fourth week of study. This is the second year in which we have been ministering to youth groups, and it has been a real blessing to share the message of Christ with them.

As we have said in our old ministry reports, ‘Christianity in Africa is a mile wide but an inch deep’. Therefore it is essential that we teach believers the fundamental truths of the Scriptures so that they will grow in their faith, and be able to reason and think through the Scriptures in their daily life; as the Apostle Paul did the with the Thessalonians (see the verses above.) 

Third from the left in the photo above is Jackline, a Seventh Day Adventist who has passionately been part of this Christianity Explored program. She, and a few others with her, have had many questions to ask me concerning their faith. Jackline has not come to Jesus yet; but we hope that the Lord will enlighten her heart and lead her to faith in His own timing. This group is composed of 11 students (some have dropped out). We will be giving out certificates to them very soon as a sign that they have finished this program.

Ministry of the Bible

The Bible has continued to be the key to this ministry. Below is Alex handing Bibles to Mr. Kefa, a lay leader from a nearby church. He has been receiving Bibles from us since we started this ministry, and continues to take them to his church members. Mr. Kefa says he has opened a campaign at his church called 'Bible Operation'. Norah (who lives near Lake Victoria) did a similar campaign at her church, and a number of believers there have received Bibles from us. Mrs. Norah’s story was shared in last month's report. These are a few church leaders among many who are passionate about what this ministry offers to local churches.

Mr. Kefa receiving Bibles

Because of the ministry of the Bible, we have twice been invited to speak at village churches. At the first one we had to speak at a night session, and many believers were encouraged to hear about the importance of the Bible. 

At the second, being invited by Mr. Kefa, we spoke on the topic ‘The importance of the Bible to a Christian’. The congregation was mainly teenagers, ranging from 10 to 25 years. After the message, we had 20 youths and parents receive Bibles from us. In a congregation of 50 youths, there were only five who had a Bible. 

In the community where this church is located, there are over 12 places where witchdoctors call on demons. It was there where three Muslims told us never to share the gospel with them during our door to door evangelism. They told us that they have witchdoctors and they don’t consent to Christianity. Over the years that we have done evangelism in this region, we have never experienced such a group of people who are not receptive to the Word of Christ. 

These speaking engagements about the Bible are partly the result of the city pastor who has occasionally abused the readers of ESV; Good News; and other local language Bibles which compare with these translations. So, this has left many believers and churches totally helpless. Therefore, our encouragement to these brethren is to make Bibles available to them, and to teach and disciple them. As a result, Uganda will have strong churches which can stand for the faith of our Lord and Saviour Jesus in the midst of critics and worldly challenges. 

Lungala Community Church is slowly growing. For the last few weeks we have had some new people join us. Last Sunday we had Sylvia and her brother from a different village join our church. They were happy to be with us. They had searched around looking for an evangelical church; and the Lord led them to Lungala Community Bible Church.

Our church sometimes supports single mothers or fathers, whose partners have either died, or have abandoned them. We found that this is the only way we can share God's love and compassion with them. We continue to exhibit this especially to the families who have little support in their villages.

Our Sunday school has no shelter in which to meet, so the kids gather on our home porch. Recently, one of the kids smashed the glass in one of our doors during their worship time. But in spite of these sort of things, the Lord is faithful; he has kept us going and bringing people to know Him. Now the kids are able to memorize scriptures and sing Christian worship songs. We say this because many of the families (actually 90%) didn't have much idea about Christianity. Some came from Islamic background; and to see them singing songs of worship to our Lord Jesus is tremendous. Sometimes when it rains, the Sunday school has to stop because the rain comes into the porch too.

Farming

Our third pig gave its first delivery to five piglets. Unfortunately it happened at night and we lost three of them; only two survived. Sometimes animals need help with birthing, especially if it's the first time. The picture shows all our piglets and how they are growing.

We want to thank you for continuing to pray for us and support us. Your support has enabled us to reach this far in our ministry. Please join us in thanking God for His faithfulness; for the lives He has transformed in our community; and also that we are surviving in the midst of challenges.  We continue to stand firm in our calling. Please consider to pray for the ministry land; graduation of high school youths; and financial provision for this ministry. 

Yours in the service of Christ,

Alex and Simon

September 2018 News

“Now those who were scattered went about preaching the Word. Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ. And the crowds with one accord paid attention to what was being said by Philip when they heard him and saw the signs that he did”  (Acts 8:4-6).

We see Phillip, a servant of the most high God, travelling from village to village, preaching the gospel to the Israelites. The persecution which broke out in Jerusalem and scattered the believers, did not change the motive in Phillip’s heart to proclaim Christ.

It’s upon such a background that we share with you how Lungala Bible Ministries Uganda came to meet Mrs. Norah, a lay leader in Nsumba church (A church near the shores of Lake Victoria). We met her through the ministry of Bible distribution and Pastors’ ministry. Alex met Norah when he was visiting a village church to speak on ‘The importance of studying the Bible’. As he was speaking, she took an interest in the activities of Lungala Bible Ministries Uganda. Since then she has been taking Bibles to her village friends and church members.

Norah receiving Bibles

She was one of the mobilizers we worked with during the pastors’ conference we had recently in July 9th-11th. Since then, she has occasionally got Bibles from us. The Bibles that Alex is giving her, she is taking to an Island on L. Victoria.

These are some of the areas where we have travelled to preach in churches, and hold small meetings to teach pastors about the need for a Christian to have a Bible.

Bugiga Mission Trip:
We are preparing to have a discipleship training seminar for three days in Bugiga Island on Lake Victoria. It is about 12 km from the mainland, and we will have to use a ferry to cross over there. It will go from 9th to 11th November. Norah will partner with us as we plan forward for this mission. In the mornings we will be doing door-to-door evangelism on Bugiga Island, and then in the afternoon we will have training for church leaders. We hope to train about 40 leaders, and then in the evening we will show the Jesus film.

We repeatedly say that most church leaders here have little or no Bible school training. So, for us to get an opportunity to reach out to them is a great ministry opportunity. These are servants of the Lord who have passion for the ministry. And while the inner call is very important, it's also very important to have training for ministry. Therefore we will soon start preparing for these teaching sessions, and if you’re interested in being a part of this, please let us know as soon as you can. We will also need to take Bibles with us.

We therefore ask you to consider praying for this training; for Bibles; and for supporting us. If you want to know more details as to how you can support us financially, please e-mail us for more information.

Ministry of the Bible
What we have discovered in this ministry is that most people in the villages find it hard to buy a Bible. This is because Bibles are generally only available in towns, while these church leaders live in remote areas. Actually most of these may not even know where to obtain Bibles. Luganda or Rukiga Bibles cost much more than what the income of village people will allow. Therefore, a village believer will find it very had to take a taxi and go to Kampala to buy a Bible. It will cost them too much. This is why Lungala Bible Ministries Uganda brings this ministry to local village people, and is why it is a crucial part of why we are here. It is the DNA of this ministry.

Recently Ishah got herself a Bible. She was a Muslim who came from an Islamic family, and was converted during our door-to-door evangelism. We thank God that when family members and her husband heard that she received Jesus, they did not persecute her. She comes to church early each Sunday to attend our morning devotion before the main service begins. Some of you will have seen photos of her when she had just joined our church; she used to cover herself with Muslim dress attire. Slowly she is starting to enjoy the beauty of being a Christian.

Ishah receiving her Bible

The picture below is our Thursday Bible study meeting, where Mrs. Nalukenge gave her life to Jesus (She is on the right hand corner wearing a green T-shirt). It is during such meetings with this group that we get to train them how to share the gospel. It's only Nalukenge who can’t share the gospel yet because she is just a new-born Christian. The rest we have been with in the field to share the gospel.

Thursday Bible study meeting

The group below is part of our mid-week discipleship program in the village. Facing the camera is Joyce, who passionately serves the Lord during our pastoral visits. Recently Alex went with her to the home of Monicah, who in her 50's turned to Jesus. When Joyce shared her testimony with her, Monicah's home life was difficult; she struggled with the powers of darkness; and is raising four kids as a single mother. Monicah finally received Jesus as her Saviour.

Provision of Bibles
Praise the Lord; we are excited to tell you that the Lord has provided some needed Bibles through some of our supporters in New Zealand. Here is a very happy Alex after collecting the Bibles from the Bible Society in Kampala.

This will always be a need, so please continue to help us by providing Bibles. We are very grateful for the ways in which God has used you to partner us. We are encouraged by your messages and comments which confirm that you have a loving concern for this ministry and its growth.

Good Things Happening on Our Farm

August 2018 News

Greetings brethren in the Lord Jesus! We rejoice in the Lord that we're able to share with you how His work is going here this month.

One person has described the church this way: ‘The church is like a bundle of sticks -- some short, some long, some straight, some longer, and others zigzaggy. How do you manage this kind of a bundle? The only thing you can do to carry it is - you tie it together. And the church is like this -- the church of this kind, you love it (Love the people).

   In this August News Letter, we want to share with you something about a group fellowship which arose from the Pastors/church leader's conference we had 9th -12th July last month. It was a primary factor in this conference to know the purpose of Jesus, and why we shouldn't be confined to a church building, but we should also be going out and sharing the Good News about Jesus. As Lungala Bible Ministries Uganda, we have essentially caught onto this purpose, which is to reach out to people in villages with the gospel of LOVE; bringing them to the God who loves them more.

Christianity Explored

Below is a photo of village members attending Christianity Explored (OKUVUMBULA OBUKURISITAYO) at Deo’s compound. Deo was formally a Roman Catholic, and we shared the gospel with him when we went to his village. He kept saying that he will receive Jesus one day. And indeed last year he received Jesus. His wife and children were all Muslim. His wife was the first to receive Jesus, and a few of their kids also followed. One of his daughters, who was a Muslim, and married to a Muslim man, received Jesus when we were opening this ministry in August last year. We are sure you saw her picture😊

Deo (on the left) has given a warm welcome to this church in his home, and he is so pleased that Simon and I have been able to pastor his family. His past before receiving Jesus was not at all good - he was a drunkard! He is very happy now that he can join such a Bible study, and be able to read a Bible with fellow brethren which he never could when he was a Roman Catholic.  

There are three similar fellowship groups going on now in other villages, and we need to visit these as a ministry. However, these groups are a combination of many faiths/beliefs, but it is our mission evangelize these people. So far in our group there are two Roman Catholic mothers. 

You may wonder how we invite these people of different faiths/beliefs when they know we are a people of the Bible! This is how we invite such people, “Will you please come and be part of our village training group? We only emphasize knowing God, and we will be reading from His book the Bible. Also we will be writing about a few things in the Bible. It won’t be hard for you at all”. With such a simple and prudent statement, many people have joined our fellowship groups both at high schools and university levels. What is interesting about such a statement is that Muslims will come; and people who believe in satanic worship etc. will come without too much hesitation. Once we have spent two to three months with them, we find that most of them would love to continue, and in most cases they give their lives to Jesus. You may wonder - how can Muslims, and people who believe in satanic worship come for such a God focused program? You might know that one of the bottlenecks (hindrances?) Ugandan churches face is syncretism, which could also be coupled with Deism! So, people come with such beliefs, and it’s our responsibility to correct their beliefs wisely using the Bible! Yes, some stubbornly refuse to accept Jesus, but many do come to Jesus once they believe the truth, and have essentially built a relationship with Him. We have them here, and we are thankful to God for their transformed lives. 

This month Alex was met by a very staunch Muslim lady who asked him this question: “Are you the pastor of Mrs. Scovia?" Alex replied, "Yes. For sure Mrs. Scovia became born again”. This Muslim lady had observed Mrs. Scovia and she saw a changed life. Alex was a bit concerned - what did Mrs. Scovia do to this Muslim lady? Then he discovered that this Muslim lady had seen Jesus’ character in Mrs. Scovia! This witness sets a good example for us as the church in sharing the gospel with Muslims. As we have said - where we live is one of the strongholds of Islam religion. 

In one of our door to door evangelism outreaches, we met a Sheikh (the leader of a Mosque). We asked him, 'Sir, have you heard about Jesus?' - (fearing in my heart what he would say). He responded (to Alex): "Listen son, I was a teacher of the Bible before you were born. Therefore, I know Christianity more than you; I know Jesus is the son of God. He will come back to judge the whole world, He is alive and Mohammed is dead. I know Jesus is the son of God because the Bible says so. But I don’t say that where I am now! (meaning, in the Mosque he leads). Soon, I have to leave, thank you for sharing the gospel." We were left speechless. Another Muslim we were still sharing the gospel with as well said to us: "I have a Bible in my house and I read it. I believe what the Sheikh said, but I can’t come to Jesus because all my family members are Muslims, and they will disown me!" He allowed us to pray with him and leave. Friends - that is the gospel. We go through SO many dynamics when preaching it here. 

High School Ministry

Under our ministry in the High schools, Ainokusha Rhinah (3rd on the left) give her life to Jesus. She has done two terms in our program (close to six months). We have had our last meeting for the term as the schools are closed for the term break. After Ainokusha had been part of this program for three months, and before she gave her life to Jesus, she would write her prayer requests and we would pray for her at church. Eventually she received Jesus. So, next term, when they come back from holidays, we will be celebrating with them for finishing this program. Usually we have a small cake, and give them certificates -just to encourage them. Please pray for this. 

The Ministry of Bible distribution 

We are seriously concerned about the lack of funding for Bibles. We consider this department as the DNA of our ministry, and it is crucial that we continue to distribute Bibles to all who are without them. Every Christian needs to have his/her own Bible. It is through God's Word that we grow to know Him, and are changed into the likeness of Jesus (Rom 8:29; 2Cor 3:18). Please consider helping us with this ministry.

From witchcraft to being Born-again

In the picture below is Mr. Mugura Frank. We met him with his family when this ministry was just starting. We have known him for some years. Frank, in his story about coming to Jesus, was working with his father in the shrine (a place where they would call demons to work on people’s problems). He was also a drug addict and alcoholic. His life was wasting away. He never looked smart as you see him now.

He is a hard-working man, but drugs had weakened him. When he heard the gospel message he came to Jesus. He left satanic worship and drugs - although his father and some of his brothers still practice satanic work.  Once in a while he takes a taxi to go and share the gospel with them. 

He got Bibles for himself and his wife. They had been part of our church until they shifted to another village, where they joined another church. He came to get two Bibles from us for his fellow brethren. In the village where he lives he was chased from a house because he was a  born-again Christian. Their accusation was that their demons would flee because he was there.  The Lord led him to some fellow brethren who welcomed him, and he is now part of an evangelistic team. Every evening, after working in their gardens, they move into the village to preach the gospel.

He is encouraging many more village Christians to get Bibles from us at Lungala Bible Ministries Uganda for a small commitment fee. Frank was involved in satanic worship since childhood, so when we now see him taking Bibles to brethren, we praise the Lord! Before he was born again, he introduced many to satanic worship, now he is introducing many to the Kingdom of God! It is God who transforms the lives of people, and we are delighted that we were able to sow the seed of God's Word in his life – this is what can change the heart of a sinner.

Church Paving 

We can’t forget to ask you to celebrate with us for having finished the church paving😊

We had been praying and worshipping on dusty ground; and when it rained heavily, the ground was always wet. We now have dry paving and a nice looking church. We want to thank you all for your prayers, and mainly for this church which sacrificially sets apart their time and financial support to get this work accomplished. May God richly bless you. This is how the new floor looks.

Village Evangelism

Joyce on left is our church member. She came to Jesus after demons had captivated her life. She used to go to the witchdoctors, but there was no help until we met her at her home with the transforming gospel message. We have been praying since then, and now she is demon free, as she recently told us.

A lady who had known Joyce's old life came to visit her after she had been away from the village for a long time. She was surprised to find Joyce healthier, and now she also wants to come to Jesus. They will pick her up on Sunday.

Sunday School

These are some photos of the happy children at our Sunday school which is led by Nakaye. That’s our home behind the kids, and the church in the background. 

Below is Nakaye with the children praying in the church

Lungala Bible Community Church. 

We were joined by two new members. One was following our sign posts and finally found this church.

Ladies' Prayer Meeting

We join these ladies as we pray for different departments, ministry friends, and other world-wide missionaries. The girl at the far end is the one who cleans our church every Sunday with her young sister. The other three ladies have testimonies of how God saved them from satanic work –sometimes we just have to praise God that He chooses us to minister to such people.

Evangelism and Discipleship Training with Simon

Day two of the evangelism and discipleship training with university students. I was on campus with them in Kampala for a whole week. It went really well, but we were doing it in the evening, so I get home quite late, or sometimes sleep with a friend.

Prayer Requests:

    1. Ministry Land
    2. The discipleship program in villages
    3. Provision to print Luganda Christianity Explored booklets
    4. Ministry financial support (we are in a critical time)
    5. Provision of Luganda Bibles for the village Churches
