In September 2017, the secretary of the Baptist Union of Kenya Peter Olonapa and head of the Southern Sudan Baptist Union Edward Dima visited churches of the north-west coast in the United States. The Lord abundantly blessed their participation in various divine services and family evenings.
On behalf of the ministry, I want to express my great gratitude to all who took us in for the night, fed us, and helped to resolve unforeseen problems! I also thank all the ministers who opened not only churches but also their hearts for our guests.
This month we are shipping another load of food to believing refugees who are in the North of Uganda. We also continue to build canopies in the camps. A group of helpers is flying to Kenya to finish building the church.
Pray for this ministry, that our help would be pleasing to God, and bring blessing to the needy!
Our Evangelical brothers are opening new churches in the various refugee camps in Northern Uganda. The founded churches in Bibidi and Abrimadsho, Yumbe already have 60 members even though they still don’t have a building or a shelter to gather and be protected from the scorching sun and rain. We want to build a tent for them so that they would be able to gather in any weather to worship God. Please pray for this church.
Pastor Oniseimo Serit visits believers in the Moyo district regularly to strengthen students and had conversations with new believers. Here he is standing on a flooded road. Families from here were forced to seek new accommodation for themselves. Pastor Onesimo encourages them to hold on to the Lord despite the inconveniences they are experiencing. Please pray for our brothers whose tents are flooded because they need to find a new place to stay with their families.
At the end of October, Pastor Musa started a new church. He is from Darfur, South Sudan. He was a Muslim until he found Christ a few years ago and now receiving theological education in Yumbe, Uganda. Knowing the teachings of Islam he can work with Muslims and bring them to Christ easier. The deacon of his church is an also a former Muslim, who is receiving a theological education in Yumbe as well. We are thankful for the support to build the tent for Pastor Musa’s church. We also want to thank for the opportunity to receive the Bible in Arabic, English, and some other tribal languages.
May the Lord bless you for your prayers and support.
