I HAVE THREE STORIES THAT I WANT TO TELL, ABOUT HOW GOD HAS BEEN WORKING HERE IN KAMPALA RECENTLY. IN THE SUBURB OF KAWEMPE, WE HAVE FOUR HOUSE CHURCH LOCATIONS AND SOME OF THE RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVING FOOD FROM THE MANNA MINISTRY. FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING OUT THERE, TO MINISTER TO THE PEOPLE AND JUST SHARE GODS LOVE WITH THEM. WELL, AT THE SPOT ALONG THE ROAD WHERE YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF OF THE MAIN ROAD, THERE HAS BEEN A SIGN POST FOR THE LOCAL WITCH DOCTOR. THIS PAST WEEK WHEN I WAS THERE, I NOTICED THAT THE SIGN WAS GONE, SO I INQUIRED ABOUT IT, AND LO AND BEHOLD, THE DARKNESS COULD NOT STAND THE LIGHT AND THE WITCH DOCTOR AND HIS SIGN HAVE LEFT KAWEMPE!!
IN KIFUMBIRA, WHERE WE HAVE STARTED A NEW HOUSE CHURCH OF PREDOMINATLY MEN, I HAVE BEEN TEACHING A SERIES ABOUT THE MAN THAT GOD USES, AND HOW IF JESUS CALLED AND USED FISHERMEN, TAX COLLECTORS, CARPENTERS, AND EVEN ZEALOTS THEN HE CAN MOST CERTAINLY USE MEN LIKE ME AND THE MEN OF KIFUMBIRA. PRAISE GOD, HIS WORD IS HITTING HOME WITH THESE GUYS. THERE ARE 10-15 MEN THAT COME TO THE STUDY AND ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAVE NOW GIVEN THEIR LIVES TO JESUS!!
THIS PAST WEEKEND, THE PASSION WORLD TOUR(CHRIS TOMLIN, MATT REDMAN, LOUIE GIGLIO ETC.) WAS HERE IN KAMPALA, AT MAKERERE UNIVERSITY AND THE KAMPALA URBAN TEAM WAS ASKED TO BE A PART OF IT. ON THE FIRST AFTERNOON, I WAS STATIONED OUTSIDE OF THE FENCE ON THE DORM SIDE OF THE FIELD AND MY JOB WAS TO DIRECT THE STUDENTS TO THE AREAS WHERE THEY COULD RECEIVE A WRISTBAND AND ENTER THE GATE. I WAS THERE WITH MY FRIEND DOUGLAS ALIRO AND WE WERE TOLD TO BE IN PLACE AROUND 3PM. SO, GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT WAS NOW 1PM WE DECIDED TO GO FOR A WALK AROUND THE CAMPUS AND WE FOUND OURSELVES AT THE MENS DORM, WHERE WE DECIDED TO GO IN AND TELL SOME GUYS ABOUT JESUS. WE KNOCKED ON A FEW DOORS AND WERE INVITED IN TO ONE ROOM WHERE THERE WERE SEVEN UNIVERSITY SENIORS HANGING OUT. WELL, WE SHARED OUR TESTAMONIES, PREACHED THE GOSPEL, ANSWERED QUESTIONS AND PRAYED WITH THESE GUYS, AND PRAISE THE LORD, FOUR OF THEM ACCEPTED JESUS!!
DAILY, I AM TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY THAT GOD CHOSE ME OF ALL PEOPLE TO BE HERE, AND BE A SMALL PART OF WHAT HE IS DOING HERE, HE IS SO COOL!!

Andy, God chose you because you were ready and willing to go where He wanted to send you. One of my prayers is that the people that God has waiting to meet you will continue to be open to hear His word. Keep up the amazing work!
