We think the above
paragraph means a lot as a ministry seeking to equip others for a strong church
in Africa. Kamengo village Church members; Lungala Bible Ministries-Uganda
steadily touches the hearts of Church leaders. This month, Alex had a meeting
with pastors in the village. It was such a rainy day, it’s a group of closely
20 pastors/Church leaders. It was such a great difficulty to walk through the
village as the ground was muddy. Only the group you see showed up due to heavy
rain on that day. Alex as usual had to take an exposition from Mark 8:14-21. It
was such a blessing catching up with them, as most of the them were reflecting
on the importance of ‘Preaching
Biblically’ (Key thought in v. 15). Many
of these church leaders have showed great zeal for the up-coming conference we
are planning to have with them. There is a need for pastors in our community to
be taught how to preach profoundly.

On a Sunday service preparation; our Church needs help. This month
we decided to use the pavers we had raised thinking they would be enough,
Surprisingly when they were all put on the ground, we discovered we still need
1,000 pavers more to have all the work done. You can see, when it rained, one
side was soggy and the other looking great, where pavers covered.
We are trusting the Lord to have this work done very soon. As
you have been following our monthly updates, the Lord has blessed our church in
amazing ways.
We have incredible
testimonies from people whom God has touched hearts and saved I left your cycles
because when my daughter became mad after she was bewitched, it was the church
which prayed for her and she became normal. After seeing this, the entire of my
family we all got converted to the saving God”.

through this ministry. As we write, we remember yesterday in our pastoral
visits to Maama Proscovia. She was visited by a group of her former village
mates, who had come to confront her why she left them and no longer attend
their religious cycles. In her testimonies, “

That is her testimony! The entire
of her family have developed such un questionable love to this church. We have
many homes which have been in Witchcraft and now are in church trusting Jesus
as their Savour.
As we shared with
you last month ‘that we will be starting ‘Christianity Explored In Luganda Not Far From Now’. On left is Alex
taking through Fred Baale in the teachers’ manual book of Christianity Explored In Luganda. Alex was
teaching him how to use it when we start the program in Luganda. We are
targeting the people who don’t speak much English in our community. Some of
these people are looking into might have not been at church at all, we ask you
to pray for God’s leading in this Luganda program.
We had our last meeting as Christianity Explored
group in High Schools this week. The schools are closing and resuming in May.
The students were so thrilled for having been part of this program, as Jean
said in her words, “ Through Christianity Explored, I have gained
deeper understanding of Jesus life in the book of Mark”. The photo
on the right (above), the students were listening to Session One on the
computer, while they were taking notes. We are thankful to the school which
provides free power.
When students are off for a break, this relives us to have
some short break too, to rest from high schools ministry until when they are
back.
In our discipleship meetings at university (Fundamentals
Of Faith) we had this testimony from Jowelia who has been in this
program, a university student, “Thanks
to God who Has used you in my life, thanks for the classes you empowered me,
thanks for the encouragement, the shadings, the real life you always shared
with us. I want to gladly let you know that finally God chose me to be the
incoming Maama (Vice chairperson of revival fellowship Kampala International
University”.
Friend, as a ministry receiving such a testimony it humbles us down. Seeing
people who fear God leading fellowships in universities etc. That is our goal! Students who have been part of discipleship
programs we do at universities.
In May they will be leaving
for their school break and that is when they will be finishing Level One of Fundamentals
Of Faith.
We continue to trust the Lord for a better transport means
in this ministry. We find moving here and there being very hard for us each
day. Sometimes we find moving in places where taxies don’t reach hence needing
a private means of transport. Most of you know we have been using a bicycle on
our farm and as well as ministry. Someone stole it. We are really bogged down
with any moment.

In our farming, this
time we bring our fellow Farmer Mrs. Maxiencia,on left with her structure of
six pigs.
one of the ladies who
was inspired by our piggery project. She comes for advice whenever needed to
us. She is not part of our church, although she habitually visits our farm and
has picked up our simple means of farming too. Enjoy seeing the picture of her
piggery farming.
