Thank You For Praying!


I'm home, and will be sending out a report to each of you soon; thank you for your prayers! We saw a great deal of specific prayer answered during our visit. Hundreds and hundreds of children and adults came to Christ during our visit, and we know that there will be follow up and discipleship taking place within the weeks to come. It is incredible to see how God is using these shoe boxes to transform nations in one generation! 

Glory to God!

GO!


 UGANDA MISSION: DAY 08
 

My flight itinerary for the last leg of the trip is below. (Once again, hours are in the Central Standard Time zone.)
MAY 04 AMSTERDAM      DETROIT MI     100AM    940AM
MAY 04 DETROIT MI     ST LOUIS MO    1120PM   102PM
 
 Pray that my days and nights will flip flop back easily. Please also 
pray that God will use this trip as a springboard in the states to establish His kingdom.
Pray that as a result of sharing the stories from Uganda, many will receive His burden to go.
 
The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;  
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Matthew 9:37-38
 
GO!

Gospelteering

UGANDA MISSION: DAY 07

 I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem. I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out. And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
(Job 29:12-17) 

Today is our final distribution. As we deliver shoe boxes, pray that by Christ's might we would break the jaws of the enemy and rescue these lost ones, leading them to Jesus. Pray for us as we board our flight: we lift off African soil at 3:30pm Central Standard Time, and arrive in Amsterdam at 11:45pm

A Light Shines

UGANDA MISSION: DAY 06

Today we will be in an area that has been filled with witchcraft, sorcery, and Islam. The Light has begun to penetrate into this darkness, and a church of 100 has been established recently. Pray for an openness to the Gospel wherever we go. Pray for the laborers in these fields who have courageously pioneered into areas where once none dared enter. 

 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. (Isaiah 9:2)

Establishing His Kingdom

 UGANDA MISSION: DAY 06

Posted by Picasa
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? (Isaiah 58:6)

Today we will be participating in shoe box distributions at two churches, one of which runs a school that is free of tuition. Lack of education is a big problem that continues the cycle of poverty in Uganda. For a child to go to school, parents must pay school fees that cost nearly half their income, as well as supply 3 school items: a pencil, a pen, and a notebook. These they simply cannot afford.

Pray for the churches seeking to provide free education to these kids. Pray that the work done here would loose the bands of wickedness, undo heavy burdens, let the oppressed go free, and break every yoke.
