I know, I know I have really kept this updated lately. So I will just give you some highlights from this last week......
Below is a pic of the women I have been doing a Bible Study with this past month. They currently attend Kampala International University. I will also be leading their Bible Study next semester. I think we will be doing "Forgotten God" by Francis Chan.

Last Wednesday was our last time meeting for the rest of the year. And we were in Galatians 5 where it says "Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires." (verse 24) So I had them nail their sinful desires and passions that were hindering their relationship with God to a Cross. It was a great time, the women took it seriously and I think it really gave them a tangiable way in understanding that concept of giving those things to the Lord that put a road block in our relationship with Him.
This week I was able to go to a Ballet, but it was in rare form. I went with a bunch of my girlfriends. Betsy who was on my left said to me "I have no clue what is going on", while Jill who was on my right said "This is so good". The key word here is contemporary....it sure was, I don't think I saw one ballet move in the whole show. But it was a depiction of the Invisible Children and what they went through. It was moving and we also got to hear a testimony of someone who use to be a victim of those harsh war times. If you do not know much bout the Invisible Children just make a quick visit to www.invisiblechildren.com
Then on Thursday I had the opportunity to go to a prison and minister with the women. This paticular prison had 160 men and 15 women. I went with some women on a week mission trip and she preached the Word and 7 women accepted Chrsit, can I get an AMEN, and we split up and prayed with them and handed them some discipleship material. Some women where in there cause of asult, their husbands brought home other women. What happens is the men call the police and the police bring them in (even if they were innocent) and they wait at this location for their court date. Sad and unfair I know.
Half way through our visit it started to pour down raining and as we were leaving we had to make it through the muddy courtyard, and what do you think happened to Stumbalina (my nickname from my dad)? I took a dive right in the mud infront of all the prisoners, I am sure they got a great show.

On Friday I went to a food distribution and below is the 80lbs bag that the women would carry to their homes. It contains: 15 kilos of rice, 15 kilos of posho (a form of grits), and 15 kilos of beans.
After we handed out the bags of food we all split up and visited the people we gave food to in their homes and was able to present the Gospel to them. Achili Hakin (below) use to be a Muslim and accepted Christ. Can I get another AMEN? AMEN!
"in all that you do, do it unto the Lord and not unto men"
