Blessings to you all dears.
Thanks to you all my brothers and sisters in Christ. I believe that you have been there praying for me about the crusade and conference I had last week and now am happy to tell you that the crusade and conference went well and this is the update on how it went.
We left home on Wednesday 1st August to the stage where we were all to meet and reaching on the stage I was shocked to see about 12 people with their safari bags and a big set of music machines to be put on a small pickup. I was really scared to get on this pickup and thought to leave them go back home but the spirit of God told me that I have to go with them. It was a tough means of transport and if it was on my own decision I would have returned home but my God wanted me to go no matter which means we had. So we packed ourselves on the pickup and we were very squeezed at the back with the bags and the machines. On the way going, our pickup stopped moving when we were in the tough corner and we were all scared but trusted God for help so we had to push it back so that it can start again and by God’s grace it started again after some hrs. Then we continued our journey but when we were about 2miles to reach the conference ground, the pickup stopped again and we tried to push it but it could not start again till we decided to walk the 2 miles remaining. So we carried the simple machines and walked the two miles to the church and the driver of the pickup worked on it and followed us later after some hrs but he found us already at the place. Reaching there it was around 2:00mp and we hoped to find many people there waiting for us as it has been in many places but here it was different. We found only the hosting pastor and some few church members like they were not prepared for the conference nor crusade. So we asked them if they had invited people to come and if they were ready for the crusade and he replied that there will be many people in the evening and they said that their crusades starts at around 7:00pm because people gather in the evening hrs. We thought it was not true may be they were trying to encourage us but to our surprise it was true. They gave us something to eat and then we rested for a while and when it was coming to 6:30pm, people started to come in a big number and when the music were played people started to increase and by 7:00pm, there was a big number of people and by the time we came back to the crusade ground things were different from what we had seen at our arrival.
On the crusade people were very well attentive as you can see in the photos on my facebook and not only attentive but they also said yes to the call of salvation. Many gave their lives to Jesus and we all praised the lord to see the kingdom increasing.
Then the next day we started with the conference/seminar and it was very wonderful because many people said that this conference has been purposed by God to help them in their salvation journey. As you know I am still carrying the message that the lord has put on my heart to share with all people around the world and this is none other than “LOVE IS THE KEY TO HEAVEN”. On the 1st day of seminar people appreciated the word and many were repenting in tears because of the hatred that has been going on in their churches. Then in the evening we headed to the crusade and it was wonderful than the first day of crusade and this time people came in a big number and the response was so much encouraging.
On the last day the conference was wonderful and people were touched because of the message whereby one pastor came in front and said that this message came for him and he said that learning does not end. Another person came while I was still ministering and appreciated the word and gave me 2000/=UGX to buy a refreshment thanking and appreciating the word shared. At the end of the seminar many pastors were inviting me to their churches and they said to organize more conferences and invite me to go share with their people.
On my going I wasn’t informed that I was the main speaker but reaching there the person that led us told me that I was the main speaker. So I had to preach in both seminar/conference and crusade for the three days we were there and in this we had to allow questions and people enjoyed it as well.
We praised God for all people that gave their lives to Jesus and for helping many in their salvation. The whole time we were there, there is one thing that encouraged me to keep on sharing this message wherever I go as the lord leads me to because many people need this message of forgiveness and love. This was the lady that was introduced to us as mighty woman of God but when she stood up to introduce herself she fell in tears and repented that she has been bound in hatred for about 6yrs where by her aunt said bad and negative words about her and she even abused her. So from then she decided to hate her and she had removed her from her life. But hearing the word of love and forgiveness she asked God to forgive her and give her courage to forgive her aunt and love her as well. This lady thanked God and said that this conference came for her but many were blessed as well. In the conference I saw a need of bibles because many members had no bibles. Put this in prayers for God’s provision on bibles.
Then on the day of coming back home, it was very tougher than coming because we had agreed with the driver to come to pick us very early in the morning but he never came in time. We tried to call him but his phone number was off and so we had to walk the two miles to the main road to get another pickup but as we were on the road the pickup shown up and so we went and packed our belongings and left for Mbarara. Can you guess what was on the way? We came much squeezed as on the coming and reaching the middle of the journey we found the traffic police on the way and they stopped us. To check the pickup they said it wasn’t licensed to carry people and even the driver had no the original driving permit. So they stopped us and fined the driver and so he had to first go to Mbarara to pay the fine in the bank and then come back to continue take us home. They parked us at the police station and we stayed there from 9:00am to 2:00pm waiting for him to come back. It was a tough time seating there at the police station for this long and it really disturbed us a lot. I tried to ask the police officers to forgive us and allow us go and pay when we reach Mbarara but they refused till the driver came back with the receipt and then they allowed us go. You can see our pickup packet in the police station ground where I was carrying Mary Evelyn in my hands.
This has reminded me to ask you to pray for me so that I can go to the driving training and then after training God willingly I can have the pickup that will ease this work of evangelism on transport. And it can help on two sides and this is to work as a ministry income and then transport us in the missions. Put this in prayers.
Thanks be to God to see that we reached back home and we are thanking God for the great work that was done in both seminar and crusade.
This is all I can share for now and I request you to pray for me on my coming crusade next week starting on Tuesday to Saturday.
I wish you all the best.
