Weekly Prayer Watch!

Robert read out loud from Romans 5:8 from my Bible 

(pictured in the last post--brown shirt}, “God demonstrates His own love 

towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” I 

asked him, “what do you think God is telling you from this 

Scripture?” Suddenly his expression changed as he looked up, “it 

means that Jesus died for me & He can save me.” With tears in 

his eyes he prayed the sinners prayer with us and opened his 

heart to Jesus Christ. “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by 

the Word of Christ” as Robert and a number of others found out  

over the past week during an outreach with Calvary Chapel 

Kampala. 

Two years ago I was teaching at Calvary Chapel Bible 

College Kampala and before that we served at the church, so it 

was a great blessing to have dear friends come for a week of 

outreach. One of the team members, a former student of mine in 

the Bible College, named Paul remained in Kitgum with us. We 

are praying with Paul about long-term service here in Northern 

Uganda. 

After the service in Kitgum at Calvary Chapel we setoff for 

the village church--Lotodore Christian Fellowship. We have been 

journeying through the Old Testament stories of the Bible 

teaching Christ to the believers, most of whom are illiterate. That 

evening we showed the Jesus film and a large number turned up 

and were introduced to Jesus. The next day it was hut-to-hut as 

we moved throughout the village proclaiming to those who would 

listen the Word’s of God. 

The following day we headed east into another district of 

Uganda into the territory of the Karamajong. These people are 

infamous cattle rustlers who have taken many lives. They are 

quite possibly the least reached people of Uganda. By the grace 

of God we went to 1 town and 2 villages preaching open-air and 

one-to-one {pictured in the past post}. At first we found 

many to be hard hearted but after time we started to see the hard 

ground soften under the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Those who 

accepted the Lord are now in need of discipleship. Please pray 

with us for laborers and the time to be able to help these people 

along in their new relationship with Christ. 

After leaving Karamoja we came back to Kitgum then 

traveled down to Pajule town. I have a good friend and brother in 

Christ named J.B.. He is from northern Uganda but has been 

pastoring at Calvary Chapel Jinja for 7 years. Pajule is his home 

town and he has prayed for years to return home to plant a 

church. For a day we went out with him into his town and 

evangelized. In the evening we showed the Jesus film in his 

village near Pajule and over 300 attended with many responding 

to the Gospel. Pray for this fresh work of the Lord to be carried on 

and for J.B. as he pastors the new believers. Thank you for your 

prayers for the furtherance of the Gospel. Lord Bless You. 

“For I am not 

ashamed of the 

gospel of Christ, for it is 

the power of God unto 

salvation to everyone 

that believes.”
