BUILDING THE LORD'S CHURCH

Thanks to all friends, brothers and sisters who continually pray and support the ministry here in Fortportal. The Lord's church here is growing everyday as witnessed by the number of people who turn up for church whenever we share christ and invite them to come fellowship with us. God has continued working in the lives of those we have shared with. Please continue praying for church and and the growth of the Lord's kingdom. Brother Dick and i and very many others with the Lord's call started this church in a small rented room of about 30 to 45 people thinking we would use it for atleast 3 to 5 months but God has changed the entire plan we had in mind because he is has allowed the growth of the church at a rate that is only his in that we have already run out of space to sit people because he is able.About three weeks a go on a beautiful sunday morning during church a brother in christ who had just given his life to christ fell off his seat and colapsed there and then so i had to stop preaching for a moment to offer him first aid for a few minutes. I could tell when i was preaching that brother Bagonza was sweating alot because of the too much heat in the room. That day we were over 100 in a 30 to 45 people room.All in all our brother recovered and he is well however right after this incident, brother Dick, Dan Vincent and i called an emergency meeting after church service to come up with a solution to the space problem. We had the previous sunday been offered a piece of land by a christian old lady to put up a church structure. so we came up with some money and we also share with the church the following sunday who also offered to give building poles and labour. We cleared the land, bought the building material and we built the church ourselves. Right now the structure is up although we have lots of unfinished work on the building due to lack of funds, we trust in God that he is Going to provide for his church building.Please continue praying for us and for the people in the villages where we are preaching christ.We hope to post pictures of the building soon.God bless you all
