FCB Photo Album 2004 Uganda Evangelism

THE UGANDA TRIP WAS NOT WITHOUT A PRICE - James was hospitalized and on a drip for a severe case of malaria. He is just getting strength back. Sammy Musili said he had to go to hospital with a bad case of malaria.

Above - It was good the river was low that day. Raymond crossed it once when it was up to his neck. Also good that the Crocs are mostly gone. The flow is very swift.

"We are excited about the students going to Uganda is to make them think "foreign missions." If they can catch that vision, then the US will have to send fewer foreign missionaries.

FCB's 22 evangelists/students divided into teams. This one is cutting across the countryside to their next village in Uganda.

Above - "Here is a group of students running to the meeting. Our prayer is that maybe the fellows in front will be the leaders of the future. This was on the Ugandan border. Titus K was very excited about the work and reception they got there. They even spoke at an AIDS home with many decisions for Christ." Howard

forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." 1 Corinthians 15:58@--}----

Titus Kimwele was at FCB and gave a good report about the evangelism. He said that Lamu’s mother, 2 sisters and a brother accepted the Lord while the team was there. That is a great victory for Lamu!

The man who sold the land for a church to Stan last December told the team that he wants to start attending the church to which he sold his land.

"One gets the idea of exuberance at the arrival of strangers. You have to know that these children listened very carefully to what their guests said. Many made professions of faith. This school was in the area of Malaba." Howard

Receive my greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; and I am fine in Him.

Receive my appreciation for your spiritual concern over Tesoland--following your sending Faith College students' evangelism expedition in the region.

Truly it has been a time of significant awakening whereby dozens of souls have confessed Christ and hundreds of ears have heard the gospel sound. It is our prayer that the Lord quicken most of those that heard, for church expansion. Sincerely the fields are needy for harvest but they require much of foreign labour. It is our desire that God will avail another chance for this team to visit us once more and do another campaign for Christ. May the Lord bless you!

"One team of evangelists rest at the home of a pastor after a long day of evangelizing. The hospitality was wonderful." Howard

Report for July 2004 Uganda Evangelism

Members of this team were: Richard Kirui, Zenawi Asfaw, Sammy Musili, Titus Kimwele, Daniel Yaban, Daniel (Mumo) Mutunga, Joel Ng’eno, Joshua Simba, Molla Dessie, James Musyoki, Benson Mwengi, Lamu Imaidoi, Moses Omoding, Samuel Kogalloh, Japheth Mustuse, and John Mwendwa. They were joined at Osajai by students and pastors: Joel Imaidoi, Job Amaiti, Johnson Omoit, George Osilo, Felix Ang’are, David Ojuma, Matthew Omusolo, and David Okware.

We started our journey from the college at 5 pm July 22 and got to Nairobi bus station at 6 pm where we boarded a night bus to Malaba. The journey took us 13 hours and we arrived at Malaba town at dawn. We waited until 6:30 am to take breakfast at a hotel, after which we hired the bicycles (Boda Bodas) to Osajai, 5 kilometers away. When we got to Osajai Bible Institute we found the watchman and a few ladies who were awaiting us. We rested there for the whole day since everyone was very exhausted from the long journey [and had been taking final exams up to the day of leaving]. We thanked the Lord so much for the journey mercies, and in the evening Pastor Moses Omoding invited us to go and pray with his family since the wife was sick. We had a very blessed fellowship, and Pastor Yaban preached. That night many people came to fellowship with us at the school.

On the next day, Saturday, after the morning devotions and breakfast, we divided ourselves amongst the churches of IPC in that area. Kimwele, Yaban and Okware went to Kongrakol IPC where they also evangelized several families. They observed that the area needed prayer and revival meetings. They worshipped there on Sunday and came back to the school after the worship.

Mwengi, Musyoki and Mwendwa went to Amairo, a mountainous place. When they arrived there, they were hosted at Pastor Job’s home for lunch and thereafter. Mwengi and Mwendwa proceeded to Aterait, and Musyoki remained at Amairo IPC where he preached on Sunday. After the worship, they traveled back to Osajai Bible School where the whole team was to meet. They observed that the villages there were very traditional and need much prayer and revival meetings as well.

Mutuse and Zenawi remained at Osajai IPC where they also visited and evangelized some families and worshipped there on Sunday. They observed that the people around there were so much tied to religion, and some of them said that as long as they were church goers they had the guarantee of going to heaven; so the place needs much prayer and revival.

Simba and Ng’eno and Johnson Omoit went to Kautoit IPC. They also visited several families and worshipped there on Sunday.

Daniel Mutunga traveled to Kengatunyi with the pastor of that church. When he got there he also visited several families and some surrendered themselves to the Lord.

Kogalloh and Molla went to Malaba Town IPC with Pastor Mathew Omusolo. They evangelized there and also there were some people who gave themselves to the Lord. They observed that the church there needs a lot of prayer as well.

Kirui and Musili went to Koninina IPC with Pastor David Ojuma. They also evangelized some families and some surrendered themselves to the Lord.
We thank the Lord so much for His guidance and the souls whom He saved. We of FCB request for prayers for these people and for their growth in this way.

We all met at Osajai Bible School where we were hosted for the night. In the evening we had a very big congregation who had come to watch the cinema. Pastor Daniel Mutunga preached and several people surrendered themselves to the Lord.

On Monday morning, after the devotion and breakfast we set off to the immigration offices where we presented our passports so that we could be allowed to cross to Uganda. When we got there, Molla had a problem with his passport and was arrested for carrying an expired pupil pass. After a few minutes he was released and was sent back to school. We prayed to the Lord for his release. This was also a good reminder of our faith in the Lord, that we check on it lest it expires and we are sent away from entering our Lord’s kingdom. Also Zenawi was not on a safe side for he also had an expired passport and was ordered to travel back to school.

After we were allowed to cross, we boarded a taxi to take us to Tororo, a town that is 13 kilometers from the boundary. When we got there we had our lunch and thereafter we went for personal evangelism. Several people were led to the Lord. Some of the students went to Taso, which is a care centre for HIV/AIDS victims. They preached to them and 25 accepted the Lord as their personal Savior. We thanked the Lord so much for we saw His mighty deeds upon His people in Uganda. The rest of the team went to a big market of stalls, where many were also led to the Lord.

In the evening after the evangelism at Tororo, we boarded a taxi which took us to Kachomo IPC where Mwengi, Musyoki, Yaban, Mutunga, Musili, Ng’eno and Omoit were to be hosted by Pastor Nyangweso, George Osilo and Felix Ang'are for the rest of the days.

The rest of the team proceeded to Dania (including Mutuse, Kirui, Simba, Mwendwa, Kimwele, Kogalloh, Omusolo and Amaiti) where they were to be hosted by Pastor Lamu Imaidoi, Joel Imaidoi, and David Okware.

Report for Kachomo Area: When we arrived at Kachomo IPC we found several members and the pastor waiting for us, and who welcomed us warmly. Kachomo is a village that is situated on the east side on the outskirts of Tororo. In the evening we had a blessed fellowship where we took time to pray for the success of that mission and the Word of God, that it might have an impact upon the souls of His people in that area. After the prayers we showed the cinema on the Life of Christ, after which Pastor Mutunga preached to a very big crowd and we thanked the Lord for the souls that were touched and gave themselves to the Lord as their personal Savior. Let us all continue to pray for those souls for the growth of their faith in Christ. The next day, Tuesday, we woke up early in the morning and had our devotion. After the breakfast we divided ourselves amongst the villages of Kachomo area. When the team met in the evening, each was giving an encouraging report, because of the souls that confessed and repented of their sins and accepted the Lord as their personal Savior. Pastor Nyangweso, Mwengi, Musyoki, and Mutunga went to preach to a witchdoctor who obediently was convicted of her sins and she accepted the Lord as her personal Savior.

On Wednesday we woke early for the morning devotions and after the breakfast we divided ourselves into three groups of four each and went to meet the people with the Word of God. We preached to several homes, schools, and shopping centers. Numerous people accepted the Lord as their personal Savior. In the evening also many people came to watch the cinema and afterwards James Musyoki preached and there were many who gave themselves to the Lord. On Thursday, the team that had gone to Kachomo woke up early for morning devotion and after have the breakfast they traveled back to the immigration offices to clear for their return to Osajai Bible School, where the whole team was to meet in the evening for preparation for travel back to Nairobi.

Report for Adanya Area: After the team had divided at Kachomo, the rest (who included Lamu, Mwendwa, Mustuse, Kirui, Kogalloh, Simba, Omusolo, Joel Imaidoi, Kimwele, Job Amaiti, and the principal of Osajai Bible School—David Okware) went to Adanya village which is 13 kilometers away from Kachomo village.

When we arrived at Adanya, we were welcomed at Pastor Lamu’s home. We had the evening prayers and thereafter we had to preach to the people who had come to receive us. It was amazing that even some of Lamu’s families and relatives were brought to the knowledge of the Lord.

On the next day, Tuesday, we woke up early and had our morning devotion, and after the breakfast we divided ourselves into three groups. The first group which was being led by Joel Imaidoi was able to visit ten families and six people got saved. The team observed that due to false teaching that religion saves, it was difficult to approach people, since they claimed they will enter into heaven for they are church goers. The second group which was being led by Matthew Omusolo visited eight families and seven people obediently received and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. They also observed the same problem as the first team. The third group which was being led by Job Amaiti visited six families and six people were led to the Lord.

In the evening we went to Ang’ololo shopping center where all the businesses were closed down for them to come and listen to the Gospel. Here we saw the Word of God working upon His people, because many accepted the Lord as their personal Savior and it is our prayer that they continue growing in faith.

On Wednesday, July 28, the Lord helped us and renewed our strength, and after the morning devotion and breakfast we divided ourselves into four groups. The first group, which was being led by David Ojuma, visited six families and four people were led to the Lord. The second group, which was being led by Matthew Omusolo, visited four families and prayed with them for the needs. The third group—Job, Japheth and Titus—visited five families and twelve people received the Lord as their personal Savior. The fourth group—Lamu and Simba—visited six families and five were led to the knowledge of Christ.

While at this mission, the team observed that many people were still holding to their traditions and it made them very hard-hearted in making decision to follow Christ. Another thing that the team observed is the drug abuse. In Uganda the government does not prohibit ‘bang’ and alcohol, and so it was very difficult to convince people to leave from abusing the drugs. We also learned that there are two big churches that taught ‘another doctrine’ and so this also made it very hard for people to agree and receive Christ.

We give thanks to our Almighty God who enabled us and provided for the mission. It is our prayer that we continue serving the Lord faithfully, for we sow the seed and He is the one who gives the increase. We also give thanks to our sponsors who also were together with us in prayers and provided for the funds. We also thank the Lord so much for our principal and his wife for laboring tirelessly for our passports and prayers for the mission.
