Streams of Life

Sunday worship service was excellent at the ‘Streams of Life’ Church in Kampala. There was such a powerful move of God, that we were still yearning for more despite the fact that the worship session lasted 1hr 15 minutes. The joy on the faces on the Ugandans demonstrated that worship was a way to soak in the ‘streams of life’. Pastor Gerald, our host pastor in Kampala handed over the two morning services to Adonai Partners. Al Knechel gave a short word of encouragement at the 8.00 AM from 2.Cor 8:11. He encouraged the church members to finish the work they have begun. As they have supported missionaries over the years, He challenged them that it is now time to take action and go out on the field too. At the 10.30 AM service, Jeremy Nuttall gave another word of encouragement. He shared from Philipians 1: 3-10. He thanked the Ugandan people for teaching him how to worship better. He observed that the Western world tends to worship God for what He has done, but the Ugandans with virtually little or nothing worship God because He is God. At the end of the service, we lined up at the pulpit praying for the Ugandans individually as they came upfront with their prayer requests. We have come to Uganda as short-term missionaries, but we are being transformed too!


Gulu, Here We Come.
We arrived in Gulu Sunday night at 9.30pm after an exhausting 6-hour bus ride from Kampala. Fifty able-bodied adults had to fit into 3 mini-buses with our luggage and medical supplies. It was a new definition of personal space for some of us. Hungry, tired but in good spirit we were treated to a delicious hot dinner at about 12 midnight. It is now Monday morning; we are well rested and ready to face a full day of activities ahead. Keep us in your prayers.
