SEASONS

For sure there are many seasons we go through in the Lord. Ecc. 3:1 "To every (thing there is) a season, and a time to every purpose under the heave." 

I am learning that not all missionaries are the same. If we team with people we need to know that we have the same spiritual beliefs so that we can truly be a team. Even in the midst of change, challenges or turmoil, God's ministry continues.

What a blessing to be teaching and mentoring and just witnessing the mighty  power of God. Today a drunk person came to our church (and our church is not the easiest place to get to) He listened and even came for prayer. I was so proud of the people of our church, they didn't judge or kick him out but they even prayed that he would come to a true salvation. How beautiful to see God work through his people.

NEW DAY, NEW YEAR, NEW PERSPECTIVE

New Year's eve in the village of Lweteega means we spent the whole day in church (from 10am - 2 am) and it was great! We praised and we danced; 3 of us leaders shared the word throughout the day. Different messages but the same pivotal point. (this is our year, God will break down the walls and that that our time is now - because it became our time the moment we accepted Jesus) We also took communion (twice, some people only stayed in the day and some only came after dark.) We anointed people with oil AND Did foot washing twice (different people each time - once at 12:15 in the morning.) It was so great to have the honor of washing and drying people's feet! (while we pray for them)

Even Donna (my current partner here for the next two years) allowed me to wash her feet (she was very touched) and she insisted on washing mine when everyone else was done. (truly it was the best time of ministry so far that she and i have shared!

It is 2023, and a new year. As always, Bible School, Mentoring, teaching in the villages and churches will continue. As the Word of God convicts me, I just want to repent every time, and allow God to change me, cause me to grow and to have more of the fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-26) love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance (self-control) : against such there is no law, we who belong to Jesus have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. We live in the Spirit and so we choose to walk in the Spirit, therefore, let us choose not to desire vain glory, provoking one another and envying one another.

For sure this is my personal scripture this year along with Psalms 16:8-11 (life verse) and Mark 9:49 (ministry verse) I know that I lack patience, gentleness and long-suffering. But, I desire those things, so lets see what God does!

AWESOME DAY

Today was great. we have been doing crusades in the village of Kirema and wow just a fantastic time in the Lord.  Day 9 of the 40 day fasting is also going great, learning a lot from the Lord, started in 1 Corinthians 7:34-35, just and incredibly intimate time with the Lord.  Also praying for Derrick (16 year old abandoned by his family) he has sickle cell. We just need provision for his medical needs and to provide for his housing and food needs. He is so much happier now, he really believed he was a dead person walking because his father refused to help him any more with medical. There is a big change in him now that he stays with us on the compound, praise God!

BUSY DAY

Everyday is a new  adventure, right now the primary school (elementary school)is out for a three week break. There are three terms in a year and usually the breaks are longer but because of covid 19, the school year is all messed up because the kids in the entire country were out of school for 2 years.

Because school is out, Sam (10) and Esther (13) spend their days with me and we work on leaning apps and projects, both kids are super smart. (they are pastor Ddungu's youngest children (of 8))

Tuesday, we pulled out the 2 wading pools, they and some neighborhood kids had a ball. It's quiet now but by May 4 it will be all active again :)

3RD ENTRY - TYPICAL DAY

So it rained all night and until about 11:00 this morning. When that happens, its great, we all just kind of lay around and relax enjoying the sound of the rain on the iron sheet roof. It has stopped now and we can hear hundreds of birds busy about their day. Excited to still be doing the daily online teachings on Facebook, right now we are in-depth into the death of Jesus. Really wonderful time of worship and intimacy in the Word.
