Uganda Team Update #4

More details from Kelly about Wednesday:

I was able to talk at greater length with Isaac tonight and have some more specifics to pass on.

The mission front…

General:  Isaac reiterated that the team has been very effective in preaching the gospel and in sharing testimonies; people continue to be saved every day!  Please enjoy the following reports of the fruit of their labors…

Youth Conference:  As previously mentioned, Drew Garfield preached twice. One of his messages was from 2 Timothy: to aim to live for Jesus Christ.  In addition, the team had passed out the remaining blue “One Life” bracelets utilized by the Singles Ministry.  Drew tied the bracelets to his message as a tangible reminder to encourage the youth to live their one life for Jesus Christ, and to live for Him now!  The bracelets, and the message, were received with much excitement!

Also, the number of attendees at the Youth Conference continues to grow each day as more people arrive. By Wednesday, well over 500 were in attendance and Pastor Moses is expecting more every day!

Village Crusade:  David Somerville preached the gospel on Wednesday.  As a result, a man who is blind, a young woman in her 20s, and many children were converted!

Additional Praise Reports:  Isaac said they have been so encouraged to routinely encounter people who became saved as a result of the investment of last year’s team!  Many are still pursuing the Lord and are thriving members at Pastor Moses’ Church, including one young teenage boy whose story I believe you will find compelling.  He inquired after Jimmy Wilson, a member of last year’s team. Jimmy had shared the gospel with and prayed for this young man a year ago—a quote from him: “Jimmy is my best friend; he gave me a new heart!”

Jimmy, please feel the Lord’s encouragement for the role you played in His plans for this teenager’s life! Well done!
