HIS KINGDOM GROWS STRONGER EVERYDAY




Today was a great day at church. Many gave their lives to Jesus. People came from all over the villages where brother Dick, Vincent, Dan, Tadeo, sisters Joyce, Salina and I have been preaching the gospel this week. Our church building was filled up this morning with people. This is a gospel explosion taking place in the villages surrounding our meeting place.

During the week we visited a witch’s home to share Christ with her and to our amazement she was very receptive which is common with the witches to men holding bibles. We shared the lord's message with her, invited her to church with her husband Mohamed and they all came this morning.

Ever since the lord’s church was established in this village, there has been a lady who has been giving us lots of trouble but today she came to church and she found me sharing about God who When Sought After, Forgives Us of Our Sins. During Church service this lady accepted Jesus as her personal lord and savior

She is called Katusiime. She was troubling us because she saw us a threat to her witch craft business. She came along with her family of two and they all accepted Jesus. God is able indeed.

In total, 12 people accepted Jesus as their lord. They have been added to those that we have been teaching about the importance of Baptisms.

The other thing I would like to mention to you is the encouraging comments from the local leaders in the area starting with the lowest village leaders to the bigger local leaders. They have been very instrumental and supportive of the church activities in our operational areas. Please continue praying for the continued harmonious co-existence
People here love the way the Church of Christ worships. They like the way the church baptizes by immersion. We have also had great comments about how gentle we conduct our services. We have heard people saying they like our Church because we take communion every first day of the week. All these comments have been encouraging and motivating.

I thank you brothers and sisters for your continued and unwavering support to the lord’s ministry here in Fort Portal in particular and the whole country as a whole.

Please pray for us as we prepare for the upcoming mass baptisms on the Dec 23rd.

Brother Abooki who’s other name is Nembe from the Democratic Republic of Congo has today bid farewell to the lord’s congregation here in Fort Portal.

We also would like to pray and welcome all our brothers and sisters in the lord who have joined his ministry all over the world. May God bless you all

I don't know if you have had the mass baptisms yet, but I am praying for you. I am a friend of Sandi's in Moses Lake, Washington, USA. It is so exciting to see the Lord's hand on your life, your fruitful ministry, and your love for our Lord Jesus Christ. May He continue to bless you richly, Ronald! Your sister in Christ, Chris
