What a joy it has been to share with friends and family all the fantastic adventures and all the Kingdom accomplishments we saw the Lord do while we were in Uganda.
Yes, we saw Him use us to proclaim freedom for the captives and to begin the binding up the brokenhearted process, but most of all we proclaimed "The Year of the Lord's Favor" in Uganda!
As always, He does as much in us as He does through us. We learned a lot about culture and differentiating between what is cultural and what is just plain sinful human heart issues. Thank goodness His Word and His Character don't change so whatever culture or country we are in, the truth of His Word transforms and teaches!
I can't even begin to tell all of you that supported this trip financially and through prayer, how BIG a part of this mission you were!
Here are just a few ways you joined us:
1. Leaders were given incredible discipleship materials such as "The Cross-Centered Life", "Spiritual Discipleship", "Against the Wind", "The Peacemaker", "Singled Out for Him", "Passion for Purity", "Domestic Violence" by Trip and Welch and many, many other discipleship and evangelism resources. Many have already been used and read through!
2. You fed hungry women, men and children a fantastic meal (on multiple occasions), whom normally may only have one meal a day, if that. In total, you all fed over 400 people, so their bellies could be full and they could hear the Word of God without a grumbling tummy.
3. Most importantly, the Gospel was preached and several began their new lives with Christ, with equipped leaders to continue the discipleship process.
4. Clothing and comfort was brought to a widow and orphans ministry.
5. 4 U.S. leaders were kept safe and not feeling too badly through your prayers.
Blessings to all of you and overwhelming gratitude for making this trip possible!
In Jesus Christ,
