WHAT A WEEK IT HAS BEEN.

The brother in the gray shirt in the back row gave his life to Jesus last friday during our Friday cell fellowship. His name is Emmanuel and your prayers for him willl be be highly appreciated.
This was our last friday cell group. We now have many of these that come together to church on Sundays. We encourage groups to break up and form other groups when they grow beyond 25 members.

They are happily listening to teacher sharing last Friday.

We encourage kids to read the word and memorize scriptures during our Friday cell meetings.

Here are the students we took our for a music retreat last Saturday. After they came back from their retreat, they were able to recruit more in their singing groups.

The food crew heading to the forest to make sure are alright and happy as we sing and listen to speakers. Thanks a lot, the food was great.

Brother Dick spoke greatly about worshiping God through singing and he also tought a couple other songs. The kids' favourate that brother Dick tought them was GOD REIGN IN ME. This song drove them crazy for I could see all of them wanting God to rein in them. Thank you so much Bro, you did a very good job.





Here we are all heading to the forest. I must say it was very recieved music retreat and very motivational for all the students. At the end of it all I asked them it they think we should the sam again and they all answered in unision a very big YES. Thank you father God for these students, may they grow love and serve you with their lives. Many wanted to go with us but we could only take 40 of them because of the cost of food and transport otherwise many wanted to go but were turned down. We hope next time the church will manage to send more.

My brothers and Sisters in the lord

I greet you in the mighty name of our Lord and Brother Jesus. I thank you so much for your continued prayers for the ministry here in Fort Portal and Uganda in general. His church is growing strong here and in so many other places. The lord has blessed the ministry with many men and women of faith with a burning zeal to spread His gospel and I give glory to Him in the highest.

This week alone many have been reached for Christ and many have accepted Him as their personal lord and savior. We had 6 baptisms this week and we had a great Friday night cell group bible study. These satellite churches have grown from one in May this year to 24 of them to date with a minimum of 20 people a group that come together every Sunday at Church. During some of our Friday cell groups, we encourage kids to read their bibles and memorize scriptures. We share, eat and drink together on Sundays. It is great sharing, encouraging and motivating each other.

We would like to organize seminars for the young people, Single women and men and married men and women and on behalf of the ministry I take this opportunity to invite you over to speak at these seminars if you think you might need to serve God in such ways or if you happen to know a friend or some one who could be of help please feel free to contact me so we can organize to have you, him or her here.

Last Saturday brother Dick and I took a group and young men and women and had a great time sharing with and encouraging continuing seeking the lord’s face. We shared a lot with them from the book of Ecclesiastes which talks about Vanity. The futile emptiness of trying to be happy without God and most of all serving while we are still young and able bodied. Amen.

After sharing with them we took some time off to speak to God in groups of four to Six then after went deep in the forest and sang praises to God, it was beautiful. Brother Dick and I taught a couple of songs after having lunch.

20 minutes of rest after lunch we decided to talk about our spiritual growth and I tell I was moved by some guys’ talk about their spiritual growth. Thank you God for these young men and women for we are headed to having a very strong church founded on a so very string foundation.

My Brothers and Sisters thank you so much for your prayers and support and please continue to lift up the lord’s ministry in your prayers for prayers are a VERY, VERY powerful.

God bless you.

Bro Ronald

Dear Brothers, Sisters and friends in Christ

Greetings to you in the name of our lord and Brother Jesus Christ.

We are very thankful to the lord for He has given us good health to be able to accomplish a lot in as far as the ministry is concerned. Our satellite bible groups are growing strong as witnessed by many more who gather to listen to His word and give their lives to Him.

Last Friday during our cell group bible study 7 people gave their lives to Jesus and 2 more took on Christ as their personal lord and savior last Wednesday during our midweek bible study at church.

Our last Sunday’s theme was Christian Living based on 2PETER 1:3-11 and related scriptures and during invitation time, 2 people came forward and gave their lives to Christ. One of them has been a very strong members and leader in one of the strongest cult groups here known as Ababisaka. Bisika is a man who calls himself God around here, he doesn’t believe Christ ever existed neither does he believe in anything found in the bible simply because according to him, it was not signed. He calls himself all sorts of names so to be seen as God. It is very strange and I kindly request you to pray for those who make decisions to give their lives to Christ that they might become stronger in their new faith and also for many who are still out there lost in the darkness. We pray to God to send us directly to where this guy has his roots and that when we do, we are able to share Christ with the lost that they too may seek Him and see the light.

Our church is soon embarking on a gospel campaign in and around the villages to tell people about Christ. We are calling this campaign ONE to ONE reach out for Christ. Thru this campaign each of us is only required to minister to one person in the whole months of December. Join us as we pray for this campaign because we have found out its effectiveness that most people in this area get to go to church through a friend(s).

Tomorrow Saturday Nov 8th is our music retreat day out and as a church we are taking all young boys and girls to Chimp forest to have fun, eat and sing to the lord and thank Him for the many things He has done in our lives.

We have exempted from paying any entry fees to the Uganda Wildlife Authority. This was very good news to us when we received it and we give the glory to God in the highest.

To all of you brothers and Sisters who tirelessly and generously give to the ministry in form of prayers and finances, we thank you so very much for God has made this ministry what it is today through you. Thank you so much. And to the brothers who would like to join hands in form of prayers and support to take this ministry to greater heights, you are very welcome for the need is BIG but the resources are few. I believe in the power of prayer and so I encourage you to take your time off to pray for this ministry to grow in all ways and also be able to find the resources we need to be able to reach to many more out there still lost in the darkness.

God bless you all

In Christian love

Brother Ronald
