Greetings to my sisters and brothers in Christ,
Thank you for your prayers. The generator is working again. Phil spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday getting the parts and repairs done. I couldn’t have gotten it fixed without his help.
I’ve been resting at Phil’s since Sunday. On Thursday, Peter hadn’t scheduled a church for me to go to because of the generator so, Phil took me to Jinja and I was able to do some shopping for my import business. It was good to get out of the house.
Today, Friday was awesome. Ibra drove Ken and me to Isegero Baptist Church built by Servants of the King in 2008 in honor of John Baugh. They have a school at the church too, so when I taught I had the students, teachers and adults, about 200 people. Ken translated for me and about 50 indicated they received Jesus today. Hallelujah!! The church prepared lunch for us of rice, posho, chicken, beans, peanuts and boiled eggs. They also served us sodas. During the film Ibra, Ken and I sat outside on a mat in the shade. It must have been 100 degrees in the church stuffed with about 250 people! We must cover the window openings with fabrics and close the doors to make it dark enough for the people to see the film. Then add to this a tin roof and no power for fans, etc. It was hot but the people stayed and watched Jesus. Glory!
After the film, Pastor Michael led the group in the salvation prayer. Glory to God! He knows how many were saved today. I meet the old man who gave the land for the first church to be built. He said he had been praying for the church for 82 years. What a testimony to one man’s faithfulness to pray for his village to get saved. What a blessing that he lived long enough to see a permanent structure built by Servants of the King. Glory to God! He is faithful!
Many people expressed their appreciation for the teaching, the film, the Bibles and the Books of Hope. The teachers were delighted with the books for their students. Before I left, I was able to teach the kids the cheer and a song.
We reached Phil’s about 8 p.m. and had a good supper of rice and fish soup. I’m tired and dirty but so blessed and happy that I got to take the Gospel of Jesus to this village, school and church today.
Thank you for your prayers. I will continue going to churches in the coming days, so continue to pray for the salvation of souls, the equipping of the saints, the generator to work and for road safety. May God bless you abundantly.
In His Service,
Sandy
