This AM was the second cold shower we have taken and have to say it is somewhat refreshing. This morning we traveled to Bukeeka to the True Worship Center which is Robert and Sarah Sityo's church. It was an amazing experience and they were so welcoming there. The guest speaker was preacher Derek Mombera from Kampala and he spoke to us about "The Access to Success" and that God was our answer even through all the communication and technology now.

Three children accepted Christ as their savior during the service. Below is a picture of Brenda with Topesku. Throughout the whole service she was looking at Brenda and after the service she came up to Brenda and gave her a hug and held her hand the rest of the time she was there. Robert, the preacher there, gave us a tour of the school grounds and the children followed us everywhere.

When we came back from Bukeeka we gathered on the porch and talked with Paul and Peter, our driver about how real demons are here and people are so afraid of the demons that they refuse to follow Christ.
Below is a picture of me and Jude. She was a true blessing to me and is such a courageous and fearless woman. She was called by God to Africa to help in the children's home and then was called to help with the deceased plagued by AIDS. She ended up fostering some of the children of these victims and led them out of harms way during a rebel attack through the Idi Amin era. She currently owns a restaurant in town and is trying to decide where God will lead her next. God taught her to be a fearless woman and her famous words of wisdom are, "It's not ungodly to be from another culture". She loves the people here and has shown a great amount of forgiveness for people that are plagued by their culture.

God is doing amazing things in this country and with our team and we've only been here two days. Looking forward to tomorrow!!!

Ahhhh. The description of your day made me "homesick". But God sent Dr. Laura to church today so I could hug a Ugandan. ;-). Emma and Ella came skipping into church this morning and said they get to talk to Mommie on skype today. Austin looked like he had everything under control. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences on the blog. You are in our prayers daily.

Greetings!
ReplyDeleteWow! We so enjoy your posts and are reliving many of our experiences from several years ago, even though some of the places you show are new to us. Your church service looks great. Sara, Emma did so well as Power House performed during the offering this morning. We praise God for your safety in travel. Dawn, you look great on that boda boda! We are praying for the entire team and appreciate the posts so very much! Give our love to Paul and Pam. Love--Leon and Karen
2nd cold shower!! Is the water heater not working or are you all forgetting to flip the switch in the hall 10 minutes before your shower. It makes for short showers doesn't it? Haha! Praise God for 3 more souls won to his kingdom. Demon worship is a big thing in Uganda and puts fear in their hearts, but God's love will conquer it. Let your light shine brightly while you are there. My name was "Gabby" while I was there. Yours is much better. ;-) love and prayers, Deb Whiteneck
