Let the Conferences Begin!

It was a very powerful day. We all felt the Lord's presence in both conferences. In just this short amount of time here in Kasese, we have been blown away by the freedom in worship and the love these people have for the Lord. There were two services were able to attend yesterday. Pastor's Stephen's church had regular morning worship at 10am (more like 10:40am Uganda time...go with the flow), then we were invited to have lunch with at his house with his sweet family. His sweet daughter joined us in the dining room for dinner and offered much entertainment. Her every response to any question or comment was a loud giggle and shrugging of the shoulders. The food was amazing! Please be in prayer for Pastor Stephen's son Isaac; he was running a fever and not feeling well. The second service started around 3pm with worship and preaching. We were able to hear messages from Pastor Scott, John and Ryan. The women met with Susan, Jaclyn, Ashley and myself during the second service for a meet and greet. We were very excited after meeting with these women Sunday afternoon about what the Lord was going to do this week.

The conferences began around 10am this morning. We were expecting many men and women, but there were not quite as many due to market day and children going back to school. Although we were expecting huge numbers, we are anticipating God to allow us to build relationships and work through the small numbers. We are expecting to have a few more attend the conference as the week progresses.

For those of you praying for cool weather, your prayers have been answered! The weather and temperature here are very moderate. It has been overcast, and there has been a breeze everyday. The team has been blessed with good health. Please continue to remember us as our desire is for God to speak through us and to us. Thank you all for your prayers. We are excited to see what the Lord has for the rest of the week.

  2. Dear Kasese team,
    How I praise God for your faith and obedience! God is doing amazing things on the continent and He allows us to be a part of what He is doing! May He exceed your wildest imaginations as He gives you opportunities to see His power demonstrated through each one of you. He goes before you and makes a way even when there seems to be no way. He watches over your every step and keeps you safe in His bosom. He is the Bright Morning Star and His banner over you is love. May each person you meet experience His love in incredible ways and may you forever be changed by this great adventure He has you on! Although I am not with you in body, know that I am in spirit. Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of this journey!
    As our pastor says, "His for the Adventure!"
