KATONDA MULUNGI (GOD IS GOOD)

GOD IS SO GOOD. HE IS MOVING IN INCREDIBLY POWERFUL WAYS IN THIS CITY. DOORS HAVE BEEN FLYING OPEN SO FAST, THAT IT IS JUST MIND BLOWING TO SEE ALL THAT HE IS DOING HERE IN KAMPALA. I WENT OUT TO A PREVIOUSLY UNVISITED AREA OF THE CITY WITH DOUGLAS, DICKENS, AND JOSEPH, THE PLACE IS CALLED THE MAYINJA ZONE OF BWAISE IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE CITY. THIS IS AN OVERLOOKED AREA BY MOST, DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET TO, IT FLOODS ALOT, AND IS HOME TO A LARGE INFLUENCE OF ISLAM AND OTHER DEADLY DISEASES. BUT GOD IS ALL OVER THIS PLACE. THE PICTURES WERE TAKEN DURING OUR SECOND HOUSE CHURCH MEETING, AND OF THE 20 OR SO PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE, MOST OF THEM HAD CLAIMED TO BE MUSLIM. HOWEVER, ON THIS EVENING 10 OF THEM CAME FORWARD TO PRAY TO RECEIVE JESUS IN THEIR HEARTS, AND 17 ENROLLED IN THE BIBLE WAY DISCIPLESHIP COURSE. WE PRAISE GOD THAT THESE CHILDREN OF GOD THAT WERE ONCE LOST, HAVE NOW BEEN FOUND. WHEN YOU PRAY, THANK GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE AND IS STILL DOING IN THIS CITY.

BEST FRIENDS



WE JUST TOOK A SHORT FAMILY VACATION TO JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA, AND WHILE WE WERE THERE, THE KIDS WERE SURPRISED BY A VISIT FROM THEIR BEST IMB FRIENDS. DELANEY SCREAMED WHEN SHE SAW KIMBER, SHE WAS OVER JOYED. WALKER WAS EQUALLY EXCITED, BUT LESS VOCAL, WHEN HIS BUDDY PAUL SHOWED UP. IT WAS A FANTASTIC TRIP AND A GREAT REUNION WITH FRIENDS, AND WE ARE ALL SO GRATEFUL TO GOD FOR ALLOWING US TO HAVE THIS SPECIAL TIME.

SOUTH AFRICAN LIONS




DRIVING THROUGH A GAME PARK OUTSIDE OF JOHANNESBURG, WE WITNESSED SO MANY BEAUTIFUL THINGS, BUT THE LIONS WERE DEFINITELY THE HI-LIGHT OF THE DRIVE.

LION CUBS





WOW!!! PETTING FOUR MONTH OLD LION CUBS IS SO AWESOME, GOD HAS REALLY MADE SOME COOL THINGS. THANKS DAD!!

South African Gold Mine




WHILE IN JOHANNESBURG, WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A TOUR OF A GOLD MINE. WE WENT DOWN 600 FT, AND WALKED AROUND AND SAW HOW IT IS DONE, AND WHEN WE CAME BACK UP WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THEM POUR A BAR OF PURE GOLD. WALKER LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

NEW BROTHERS AND SISTERS



IRENE, DOREEN, KENNETH, WILFRED, JIMMY, GRACE, AND CHRISTINA AND ME. SEE WHAT WE CELEBRATED TOGETHER!!

HOW WE CELEBRATED RAMADHAN






SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2008. TODAY WAS THE FINAL DAY OF THE MUSLIM MONTH OF RAMADHAN, A DAY CALLED EID EL FITR, AND TO CELEBRATE, I WENT WITH SIX NEW BELIEVERS OF JESUS CHRIST TO LAKE VICTORIA AND WE HAD BAPTISM. SURROUNDING US AT THE LAKE WERE MUSLIMS AND THE LOCAL WITCH DOCTOR. WHAT A TREMENDOUS WITNESS THESE NEW BELIEVERS WERE TO THESE PEOPLE, IN SHOWING THEIR COMMITMENT AND OBEDIENCE TO JESUS, IN SPITE OF THE DARK FORCES THAT WERE ALL AROUND. I PRAISE GOD SO MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE A PART OF THIS BAPTISM ON THIS DAY.
