Summary Report of Ministry trip in Uganda: 12th – 27th January 2003
Mat 28:19 Go therefore
and make disciples of all nations …
We preached the gospel specifically in three separate locations, seeing many respond for salvation and commitment to Christ. On each occasion we followed this with the large screen open-air showing of the Jesus film in Lwo for the Langi and Kiswahili in mixed tribe areas.
Crowds gathered to
hear the gospel
Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons … they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover."
A man was delivered from epilepsy and a deaf mute heard and spoke for the first time, amongst many other less extraordinary miracles. We met a lady who was completely healed of leprosy when she was prayed for during our outreach in 1998. She gave her land for the new church to meet.
Completely healed of leprosy, but the effects are still visible with the loss of a finger on each hand.
Mat 28:19 … baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit …
They queued for water baptism, in a shallow river.
Mat 28:20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.
Every day, regardless of the remainder of the programme, we held teaching seminars, to encourage and educate believers in the word of God. We also distributed Bibles in Lwo and Kiswahili to pastors. Sometimes we were with whole networks of churches that had come together specifically for the purpose, sometimes following up churches we pioneered and planted in previous years, and for one day we were with three separate networks of churches who joined together for the day. To hear them praying God’s blessing upon each other’s labours for the Kingdom of God was most moving.
The programme was fulfilled according to plan, and we returned “in awe” of God, happy that our names are written in heaven.
Thank you for your faithful and prayerful support.
Mat 28:20 … And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
