MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 05-27-2019

Greetings! Our Easter went great. I baptized 15, inducted several new members to our churches, preached the Gospel, and 2 were saved. Then we had a delicious meal together. All four churches were present. All in all a great day.

This last Sunday I married three couples. If that sounds like pandemonium, it is. Fully half the church was visiting family from Congo. Most of these are Catholic. I preached the Gospel very clear, so we got the opportunity to minister to the families of our young couples.

This was also James, John and Ethan’s last Sunday at the camp for awhile. It was very somber for them. They spent half their life growing up here, and it’s sad for them to have to leave to attend University in America. Our folks gave them a proper send-off. Even though money is scarce, they bought all three of them matching shirts so “they can be one” at school.

I am very grateful to have been able to raise my young men outside the American bubble. There is no toxic feminism or fascist Leftism in Uganda. No social pressures of any kind to compromise their Christian values. My young men were able to grow up free and independent, to be gentlemen and scholars, and are well prepared to return to their home country to attend school. Their mother and I succeeded in bringing them up so when they leave, the bedrock of their faith will allow them to stand firm, no matter the lunacy and ungodliness that American culture will bring to bear. America needs godly men and fathers. I did my part. How about you?

I have a pretty full schedule of meetings now, but if you would still like to have us in, let me know and I will see what I can do. Be warned – I am coming to rob you. I need more funding to expand our ministry in Uganda. I have several building projects that need to begin once adequate funds are secured. There is much to do in the next term. Will you help us, so we can help our people?

The latest and greatest missionary video is available at https://youtu.be/HmJaokuQX0E. Whether or not you can have us in for a meeting, this will serve as a report that is of high enough quality to be shown in your church. It’s the one I will be showing everywhere we travel this furlough.

Pray for us as we travel to America, and as we crisscross our nation in the months ahead. Pray for our churches in our absence. Pray for our leaders who will be carrying on with the work while I am away. I am missing them already. Pray for my country, Uganda.

God bless you!
