August Trip and Fall Activities

August 23rd through the 26th Ron and I had an opportunity to travel to Uganda. On Friday, we join a medical team with WOL-Uganda, led by Jack Sorg, for the day. They held a week long medical clinic in a small village of Kigo, just outside the capital Kampala. While in the village we had the opportunity to speak with pastor Dick Rwegaba.

 We had a great discussion on how the gospel is having a great impact in this humble community. Among other topics we discussed on further partnership to solidify the gospel and open the eyes of many Ugandan communities that have been taken advantage of by the false gospels.

Health care still stands as a luxurious issue in many, if not most communities in Uganda, since there are not many health facilities in these communities and its high price associated with it. It’s therefore a major challenge for the locals to access health care. And the medical outreach does just that, free medical checkups and free medicines which brings people to hear the gospel.

The following two days, we headed out to another community in Namayumba in Wakiso district northwest Uganda, about an hour drive out Kampala.

 There we had fellowship with local pastors in the area encouraging them in the walk of leadership and preaching the right gospel. A great deal is preaching a prosperity gospel to these local pastors which is so far away form the truth of the gospel that we preach.

It is tough and challenging being called to minister in these community even so being a pastor since these communities are ravaged in poverty and illiteracy, and that comes with in-accuracy of the scriptures.

 We spent time encouraging and fellowshipping with the pastors with whom we have developed a relationship with for some time now. Our goal is to bring a biblical education to these local pastors because they have a great desire to serve. There is over 50,000 thousand people in this small village and not much churches in the area.
Pray:

1. That a bible teaching school will be established in this community particularly to bring a bible education to these local pastors. The closest bible institutes are miles away or located in the capital.
2. To reach this humble community with the true gospel, undoing the fake gospel which is totally misleading. Our desire is for every household to be reached with the gospel of Christ.
3. To initiate personal skills that will in future help fight poverty in these communities.
4. We pray that God will bring along more missionaries to these communities.

We are thankful to God for the continued support we have got from all of you who have supported us all the way. I always thank God for your generosity and can’t wait to see what God will do as we continue to be faithful to this call.

Striving Together,
Denny & Cassie
