Hey all, I have to just tell you all that God is GOOD. The power went off last night and I woke up and realized it and prayed that God would turn it back on before I got out of bed so I wouldnt have to deal with the stuff in the fridge....and He was faithful.
Naw, besides that I wanted to ask you to come along side me for this next week and go on this prayer challenge that God has given me from the book of Nehemiah. Nehemiah had a vision, rebuilding the wall. God has also given me a vision...not rebuilding a wall, but rebuilding Kampala with the new uprising generation. In Nehemiah 1 he sees the state of the people and he weeps and fast and prays.
I have relayed to you that this country is bound by lie in the last email and now I am asking that you will pray specific prayers with me this week. These prayers are taken from Nehemiahs example prayer in Chapter 1.
Day 1 Adore Him
Day 2 Repent for the city Kampala and yourself and family
Day 3 Pray that they will see the truth in God's Word so the Truth will set them FREE.
Day 4 Cry out to God for the people of Uganda and ask God to hear you and listen to the prayer of us who delight in honoring Him.
Day 5 Ask God to grant me success in reaching the next generation
Day 6 Ask God to give me favor with the current generation
Day 7 Ask God to put it in their hearts to be kind to me
Thank you...I will defenately keep you updated on What God does through your prayers.

May 17th May 9th This is your new blog post. Click here and start typing, or drag in elements from the top bar. This was said to me this week…..and I am beginning to feel that way, but the smallest things make your day here. Having fresh flower in your room (they are cheap here) hearing your helper sing “You are worthy” while doing the dishes, getting a two sentence email of encouragement from a friend and so forth. Love..I keep coming back to this word. I just posted a blog yesterday talking of this same word. Exclaiming that I want to bring not my Love but God’s Love and Hope to those in Uganda. I posted a picture of little kids whose eyes were piercing my heart with their cry for Love and Hope in such a Hopeless and unstable world. Then this song came along by Kim Walker, “How He Loves” and it talked of this Love that God has and it is changing explosive Love. My heart began to burst with burden for those little ones in Africa, it was exactly what I had written earlier that I would bring not my Love but this Love of the Father. It doesn’t even stop there, then I opened my Bible to Romans 8:35-39 and I had the Hope in my hands that I am to give to these children, “Can anything separate us form Christ’s Love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is our through Christ, who loves us.” Vs. 35,37 This week I have experienced some home sickness. It has put some fear into my heart for the new kind of home sickness I will experience in Africa. Looking at this pic has begun to soothe this pain in my heart....... “Although I am less than the less of all God’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.” Eph. 3:8 I feel as though I have all these thought bubbles floating around in my head waiting for them to collide with one another to create these amazing revelations. Today one of those thought bubbles collided with another and I have had a revelation. Christian Hedonism is the sum of the revelation. I am here in Virgina at a two month training series with the Southern Baptist Convention and they flew in a Speaker, Chuck Lawless, Dean of the Billy Graham School of Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth and President of the Lawless Group, a church consulting firm....amazing speaker. He came to talk to us about Doctrine. |
