Thursday

Today is Friday here in Uganda but we lost power last night and weren't able to update our blog!  Here is what happened yesterday...

Thursday was an incredible day of ministry!  We started the day by going out to the local community and evangelizing.  The areas we were ministering to were mostly populated by muslims and peoples practicing witchcraft.  Our team broke up into four groups and were led by church leaders from Agape Chapel.  After just a few hours 26 people gave there life to Christ!  Praise God! 

I can't wait unti you are able to ask the team members their personal stories about that experience.  There is not enough room on the blog to tell them all but I will tell you my favorite story :-)

I had the opportunity to share the gospel with a local Islamic leader in the community.  He was the headmaster of the local Islamic school.  I asked if I could pray for him and them men he was sitting with and he refused.  I prayed with other men and after I finished the Islamic leader aksed if I would pray for the drought affecting the area.  I prayed and hoped that the Lord would change this mans heart.  One hour later the skies opened up and it rained all afternoon, all night, and is still raining this morning.  What a powerful God we serve!

We also continued our painting projects with much success.  We were all super tired by the end of the day but spiritually energized by how grateful the house mothers are for the work.  We hope to complete the work we started by the time we leave.

Please continue to pray for our team and for the local communities here around the village.  We feel your prayer support and are encouraged greatly.
