August 22nd - A day of ministry

Waking at 5am in Kampala, Bonny, Levi, and I packed our things and left the hotel. We could find no bus leaving for Hoima until 8am, and so boarded that one.

The journey to Hoima was smooth, taking us about 3 hours. We caught a bit more sleep on this bus and had a few small snacks.

Next, in Hoima, Bonny found a private car and driver to take us to Kyangwali, a small village a couple of hours to the southwest.

The countryside here in Uganda, especially along this road, is extremely beautiful and colorful.

We arrived in Kyangwali at about 2pm, and were introduced to Pastor Jerome and his wife, Stella, and to Pastor Danny and his wife, Dovie.

We then joined the church at the revival conference there.

Praise & worship continued joyously for a few minutes, then transitioning into a teaching time.

Levi led the group, about 100 people, in more praise and shared on encouragement and prophetic ministry.

More praise and prayer continued, and a police officer's back was healed and came forward to share about it.

Pastor Jerome led introductions of church leaders and many of them spoke briefly, greeting us.

Around 5pm, we broke for dinner. The pastors talked with us, as we ate ground corn dipped in beans and rice. The police chief Michael, commited his life to Jesus during dinner.

The church had also planned a crusade for the evening in the market center. After dinner, we headed to the main street, inviting people as we went. The music started soon after we arrived.

Many choir groups and people sang, drawing people in for about an hour, until there was quite a crowd, about 250 people.

Levi shared a salvation message about our God who loves us. He spoke about the prodigal son and invited people to accept Jesus.

Three people came forward to accept Jesus! We prayed with them and for them.

We then had a time of healing ministry and prayer. As far as we know, all who had been experiencing pain, about 30-40 people, were healed by the end of the night!

Several people shared testimonies of what God had done for them and as the service winded down, we continued walking through the crowd and praying with people.

Back at Jerome's house, we talked more with friends and enjoyed a dinner of cooked and mashed plantain banana and Nile Patch fish.

We prayed for and blessed the family and friends there, and headed to bed for the night there in Pastor Jerome's house.

We begin our return trip on Thursday. Please continue joining us in prayer for the people here and for the work God is doing! We're extremely thankful for you all and we're praising God with you for all that he continues to do!
