“Praise the LORD!
Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens!
Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness!
Praise him with trumpet sound;
praise him with lute and harp!
Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe!
Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD!
Psalm 150
When a life is transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the only reasonable response is to live their life in praise and worship to the LORD. As we preach the gospel and disciple the students that the Lord has entrusted to us, it is our desire that they would live for the glory of the Lord.
Over the last few months, we have seen the Lord working amongst the students. When the students were returning to school, one of the young ladies did not want to return to school because it meant she had to cut her hair. Schools here require girls to keep their hair short for hygiene purposes. She told her mom that she would not go. During one of the lessons, the Spirit convicted her and she went home to tell her mom sorry, that she would cut her hair and return to school.
On another occasion, as Denny was nearing the end of the Story of Hope, 5 of the students made a faith responds and gave their lives to Christ! We praise the Lord for their salvation!
FEBRUARY & MARCH
Saturday Youth Fellowship
Denny has been faithfully going through the Story of Hope with the older students each Saturday and is coming to the end of the study – we praise the Lord for those who have already made decisions for Christ. After the Story of Hope is finished- He will begin The Way to Joy, which is the companion/follow-up study to the Story of Hope. The Way to Joy is an introduction to discipleship.
Bible Clubs/Chapel
On Wednesday afternoon’s and Saturday’s after the Youth Fellowship, Denny and Ivan have been going to a chapel/Bible Club at a primary school in Namayumba. Every time they arrive at the school the students are anxiously waiting for them at the gate.
Pastor Patrick – The Way to Joy in Luganda
Pastor Patrick has been leading a small group of Pastors and church leaders through The Way of Joy in Luganda. They have been meeting once a week for the last 4 weeks and the response has been great. These Pastors and leaders are so grateful to be receiving this training and resource that they can then take to their own people.
Praise & Prayer Request
Tendo Bible Camp
We will be hosting our first ever Bible camp in the village of Namayumba, April 25th – 30th. It is a non residential, week-long camp. We are anticipating on having over 200 youth, ranging in ages between 5 – 20 years old. It will be a week filled with fun games, great food and exciting guest speakers. The most exciting part is the Word of God that will be preached everyday. Please pray with us for the hearts of the students to be open to receiving the Gospel and that many will make decisions for Christ. And pray for us and the local churches that they will be sent to, to be discipled following camp. |
