As mentioned in earlier posts EAC has purchased land in a village called Zirobwe. This village is about 2 hours away from where we are staying right outside Kampala. Right now we travel there to run Church and Sunday School on Sundays. The church is in a poorly constructed building and Sunday School is held under a tent. The vision is to one day build a church, training center/school, medical clinic and dormitories. EAC is hoping to start pouring concrete for the church before we leave.
Friday night our team is planning a prayer night with the community of Zirobwe. The main focus will be prayer, but we will also be sharing testimonies, sermons and a movie about Jesus' life. Brett is preparing a short sermon to share and I will be sharing my testimony. Pray for us (Brett and I and the EAC team) that God would speak through us to the people of Zirobwe that we might encourage them with what we have to say.
I know this is short, but I will leave you with a few pictures of one of our favorite projects we go to. It is a primary school called Brainstorm. The kids are full of energy and crave your love and attention. As soon as we walk through the gate you have at least 10 kids trying to cling to you.

Singing praise and worship. The shack in the back? That would be their classrooms. |

Listening to a bible story. |

These kids came in to listen to the story. You can tell the difference between the school kids and the kids who can't go to school by the way they dress. Kids that can afford school wear uniforms. |

Chasing the van as we were leaving. |
May Friday night have God's blessing upon it and may your words by His words. May the concrete get poured before you leave and consruction go quickly for the children's sake. May all of the children be able to afford school!

Praying that your teaching and testimonies go well. Joe
ReplyDeleteI think you might be ahead of PA time, but I want you to know that it is early on Friday evening and I just read your post about Friday night. I prayed that your testimony and Brett's sermon speak to the heart of the people in attendance and that God's Spirit-filled presence pervade that space. What a wonderful work you are doing in His name! God be glorified!
