PASTOR SMOOTH TEAM VISIT

The people of Kangulumira are certainly going to remember the 18th of August 2008 when they got to hear the word of God from 13 men and women of God from the USA. The team was headed by pastor Jonathan Smooth and his lovely wife. The team was to spend five days preaching the word of God at Lifeway Baptist Church Kangulumira, evangelising to the children and also held a crusade every evening. It was indeed a blessed time for all of us.

Brother Scot shared and taught from the book of Titus placing empasis on the responsibility of church elders and all church members as a whole. Pastor Smooth shared with the congregation about the power of prayer and how to pray. All members of the group shared their testimonies and also taught about things like hygiene and others. The kids also had a marvelous time with Kim, Peggy, Barbara, Donna, Austin, Scot's wife and the camera man matthew. The story would not be complete without mentioning Brother Jack (guitar) and Sister Blair-They played us some good songs and it was really a blessing to have them around.

The team also attended church service at various town churches around Jinja. When it come to unwinding on Sunday afternoon-Bugee Jumping on the River Nile was the thing. Pastor Smooth, Austin and Matthew ewed us with their courage to jump from that high. Arise Africa international is indeed grateful for the time Pastor Smooth's team put in to preach the word of God to Ugandans.

The schools that were reached are the following and they are all located in Mayuge district: 21st July Lwanika Primary school, 22nd July (Morning) Lake view Primary school (Afternoon) Lake View Primary School. 23rd (Morning) Nakalanga Primary School (Afternoon) Walugembe Primary school. 24th (Morning) Butembe Primary School (Afternoon) Butembe orthodox primary school

A lot was achieved we reached seven schools/communities. Over 2000 children/pupils were preached to and 600 got saved by prayng the salvation prayer. The children, teachers and parents learnt about God's love for them despite their pathetic situations of living.

The service at Bukaya Baptist church was inspiring. We started off with a bible study where i Phillip conducted the sunday school for the first time in my life. Didnt know what to talk about, however the lord led me to to psalms 121 and we discussed that. Pastor Godfrey gave a powerful sermon from 1st Samuel and specifically the story of David and Goliath. We found out how the lord can empower us to deal with all challenges.
May Everyone of you reading this be blessed.
