NEW HOME IS BUILT
Dear my Brothers and Sisters in the lord Jesus Christ I bringing greeting from the saints here in Fort Portal. The lord’s kingdom here continues to grow as the word is being spread in towns and in the villages in and around Fort Portal. I together with the evangelism team have been moving in the villages preaching and teaching Christ. Last Sunday three people three people gave their lives to Christ Jesus and we took them to the stream and baptized them.
I have not made any updates in the last three weeks because for one us a church we were blessed to have visitors for two weeks during which we learnt a lot from them about the work of God, we shared about a number of things about the lord’s church and the work here in Fort portal. Our Brothers shared about the love of Christ with us and walked with us in the villages sharing about Christ during which many accepted Christ as their lord. Thank you so much Brother Ray and Brother Randy. We miss you so much Brothers.
We did over 6 village outreach visits to different villages in and around where the church members come from. We were blessed by the lord that over 550 people came to church and got a chance to hear about Christ during one Sunday when our Brothers shared with us. We also got to visit the Pygmies locally known as Batwa to look into taking Christ to them for most of them (78%) have not heard about Christ.
Well, today I took the young boys and girls of the church to one of the villages to share Christ with one family thru helping to build repair and rebuild their old hut. The old man who I just found out after sharing and talking with him told me he is close to 90 years has been living in this hut for a very long time; he said it was build by his two kids who were died after they were attacked by Malaria in the same week. They left four little kids with them although their mamas are all alive they do not offer much help to them because they are also not so strong physically. After they found that they were HIV positive, they dropped the kids at their grandpa’s home so one of our Brothers was moved by the plight of this family and especially the hose they were living in so he asked the young men and girls to help so I asked them if that is some thing they would like to help that way and all responded in the affirmative so we took off this Monday morning and took the old hut down and put up a brand new one. We cut fresh grass and thatched the new hut, cooked and had lunch together with the whole family, took off some of our clothes and gave them to the family. It was fun for me because all the old man kept saying was” Thank you so much God, all Glory to you in heaven” For me that was very motivating.
It was fun for me all the way thru till when I slit my thumb finger open with the old man’s machete when I was gathering dry banana fibers in his neighbor’s plantain farm so that I could use them to tie his grass roof together. I did not know that I would be able to type up this update but the lord is good I was able to. Thanks to you father God.
Please pray for the young men and girls that they may continue sharing Christ in many ways because people are many that have not yet heard about Christ.
God bless you
Brother Ronald
