"I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth." ~Psalm 57:9-11

Sunday Blessings!

(See Pictures in Sidebar for Sunday Blessings)

Today was an amazing day of worship and teaching from God's Word. The three Healing Hearts U.S. leaders (Sue, Suzanne and Camille) spent time in Madinah's, one of our Ugandan leader's, church praising God for all of the beautiful women we shared the ministry and our testimonies with. The women were so moved and testified of how moved they were that even Mzungus (Americans) can go through the same kinds of problems that they do.

Around 12-15 women and almost as many children were circled around as we met together. We met a woman who was a former Muslim who had only become Born Again (a.k.a. Evangelical Christian) very recently and she was very moved by our testimonies and sharing. Many women struggle in their marriages and with wayward, drunken or abusive husbands and the pain is very great. But Jesus is Mighty to Save and Heal. We really spoke on the nearness of God and all the ways that Jesus understands the sin we suffer, by His example of the great burden of pain and suffering He bore both leading up to and finishing the work on the Cross.

Brad Furges went to the church of our head leader of Healing Hearts in Uganda both to worship and fellowship, but after the service he brought teaching to around 30 men. Since we were not there, I can only share about seeing a definite expression of amazement at the Spirit's moving in that place of bringing men to repentence by the look on his face! It's funny, but the men actually outlasted the women in running over on time in their meeting. Praise God!

It truly was a Sunday Blessing for us all!
