Uganda Missionary Blog

hey everyone its been a while since I made any updates about the mission work Mary and I are doing here in Africa so I thought Id make a post to let you all know about the crazy adventures of working in Kenya and Uganda. We spent 2 months in a village on the outskirts of Kampala called Kasangati during that 2 months we had great opportunities for ministry with our neighbors and the local children. we formed strong relationships in that town and consider those people to be family. We were able to minister to one man in particular who was a Muslim (one of our neighbors) we are trusting God to water the seeds we have sown and to build on the truth that these people already know. Because of our position on the state of the church and the corruption in churches here, our landlord (a pastor) and another pastor friend of his chose to evict us from our house in kasangati. At that point we didn’t know what our next step was to be, but through prayer and seeking the lord we were lead to travel to Kenya.So we distributed our belongings to the poor and among our neighbors and boarded a bus to Kenya. After arriving in Kenya we stayed with brother Moses and his family for several weeks. then the lord provided a house for us to rent which is over and above the standard we had come to expect. throughout this time we have struggled with spiritual warfare as witchcraft and demonic activity are very open here. We are once again involved with preaching the Gospel of the kingdom to all who have ears to hear as well as a ministry with local children and the street boys here in bungoma. We have been reaching out to the street boys with food and giving them a safe place to come for food rest etc. We have faced persecution and continue to face it ….Just last night at 2 am 2 men broke into our house to rob us i woke up with 2 men standing over me saying we are going to kill you now give us your money. despite the attempts of the enemy we had no fear and rebuked the enemy out of those men preaching the love of Christ to them as they went through our things before our eyes. the peace of Yahuwah was with us and we were divinely protected the men did not lay a hand on our persons and left after taking some small valuables etc. They took our passports and other documents, wedding rings ,some money and a few small things like my mp3 player and a knife. we rejoiced in the aftermath realizing that Yahuwah is our protector and provider and that we have no need of the things which can be stolen God will provide our needs even if we have no money whatsoever. after the men left we prayed asking God to return our passports so that we would not be forced to return to the states early and in the morning the folder containing our documents was on our window ledge. The thieves were supernaturally confused by our prayers and even picked up my laptop cord which was connected to the laptop and replaced it not knowing what it was they also failed to steal our cell phone or the small stash of money i keep with my phone as they were leaving the lord had me shout after them “hes coming for you and you cant hide” Hallelujah!!! please keep us in your prayers as the harvest here is plenty but the workers few. the spiritual opposition to people who seek the will of the master is huge we believe we have been cursed on several occasions but the lord has always delivered us from the hand of our enemy !!! we also went into a village not far from bungoma to visit a school for orphans i will post some pictures of this school and the children please prayerfully consider supporting this project it is not one of our personal projects but is in need of immediate relief due to food shortages and a lack of funding for teachers and other pressing concerns . these children are between 2 years and 6 years old several have no food to eat at the homes where they stay and 3 are simply missing as they were turned out of homes or ran away because of not getting any food.

Dear Friends and family,

I hope everything is well in the States and Canada and anywhere else you might be. We are in Kenya now, as of the 27th. There were several reasons for us leaving Uganda, but the door is not closed there if Yahuwah leads us to return. The Kenyans have been very welcoming and Anthony has had the opportunity to share the gospel of the kingdom with some very word hungry individuals as well as with a mud hut church of about 25 people. Many “muzungus” (whites) come over here looking to set up ministries, help peoples physical needs and they forget the simplicity of the gospel. There is a lot of extortion and prosperity gospel going on in African churches, and the sad thing is that the only ones reaping the rewards are pastors. They look to the west as a model of excellence rather then to the Father. So, we have seen a lot of rejection by pastors and a lot of acceptance by the people. I’m just going to share a pictures of us in Uganda and some of the lives we touched. More about Kenya later.
