Very many during last sunday service came forward to recieve Christ, It was a very exciting moment for us all as they came to Christ, thank you Jesus.
Thank Jesus for these men, women and kids. Glory to you in the heavens.

These here is Sister Kellen. Kellen was a very strong moslem woman she however is a christian lady, praise the lord.


The last few weeks have been such a great blessing to us with so many activities taking place here. We had over 600 attending church and many gave their lives to Christ. Among those who gave their lives to Christ is a Moslem faith woman leader in the mosque, she actually went by the title of Hajat which means a woman who has gone to Mecca to fulfill one of the many requirements of a true Moslem woman. During invitation time she came forward and declared Christ as her personal lord and savior and was baptized. We are so happy that the lord is moving in people’s lives here. She went home rejoicing and telling people about her new found friend and brother. She confided in me that she was scared of the people of her former faith but I told her stand strong in the lord Jesus because He rules over those she was scared of and so she went home a very strong and happy daughter of God. When she reached home, she called her son and declared to him that from then on she was a Christian woman, she did go down well with her son, he grabbed her by the hand, threw her to the ground and started beating her as she made an alarm. People came to rescue but her son ran away they could arrest him. I got a call later and went over and took her to the hospital she is right now being for the bruises and wounds and I tell you what? She is overwhelmed by the numbers of Christians who have gone over to show their love and solidarity, they have offered her prayers and food and she is quickly recovering. Please remember her in your prayers that she may be healed both spiritually and physically and that many of friends turned foes over her decision to follow may also turn around and take Jesus as their lord. Her new name is Kellen.

During the last 2 to 3 weeks I have invitations to go places to encourage churches and plant others in many different parts of Western Uganda and I have gone around with a team from the church to pray and ask God for these places to that we have invited to and I tell brothers and sister the lord is giving us places that we may take His gospel there and many may be set free in His name so all now we are asking of you is pray that He may provide what is needed for us to be able to go. We have already identified potential men of God who are willing to keep the fire burning for all we have got to do is start it. So far the invitations have come in from places like Ibanda, Kasese, Kyenjojo, Mubende and many others. All these places are within a range of 40 to 60 miles from Fort Portal where we are located right now.
The church building that we built a year a go is currently not enough to hold the surging number of people giving their lives to Christ that every Sunday we have people listen to the gospel standing outside the building. Because of the growths of the church, our church right now needs and pray for a PA system such that people in and out side the building can be able to hear the word being preached so please pray for us about this also.

The local authorities have indeed been very good to us because of what God is doing in the lives of the communities around the church and they have chosen our church to kick start and encourage some of the central government programs. Last the head of the local council authorities in our area locally known as the Chairman LC 3 of East division in Fort Portal prayed from our church and he encouraged Christians to work hard and have clean sanitations in and around their homesteads. He talked about preventative measures against Malaria that is Uganda’s number one killer disease. We were so blessed to have him around with us. He promised to stand with us in all we do to help our communities and those around us.
God bless you.

Bro Ronald
