Greetings from Uganda! Here are some photos and an update of some of the things I have been up too this past month. God is doing amazing things and is releasing his love and healing to so many. It is so exciting partnering with him and seeing his love poured out! Below you can read more of what God has been doing!
Twice a week we have been going to the Wakiso Clinic and praying for the sick. God has been showing up and healing people instantly. In the picture below we prayed for a little girl named Latisha. She had a very high fever and was so hot, she was sick with Malaria.
We spent sometime sitting and praying with her and by the time we left, she was up laughing and moving around and her temperature had completely gone down! Later on we saw her being released from the clinic!!
Also, at the clinic we met some ladies outside the materity ward that were bringing their babies for checkup. (Below are some of the new born babies) We started talking to the women and told them that Jesus loved them and gave them a few gifts for their babies. When we asked if we could pray for them, the lady pictured below said "eh Jesus doesn't love me!" and I began sharing with her how much he loved her and asked if I could pray for her to recieve him as her savior and she said Yes! I prayed with her and afterwards she said she felt God's peace around her! So awesome!
This lady is a born again Christian but had married a muslim man. He didn't allow her to go to church but she also didn't have to pray at the mosque. We got to pray and encourage her, as well as pray that her husband would find Jesus too. You could see hope begin to fill her heart as we prayed. It was so exciting to see God meet his children right where they needed him the most!
This is Brenda. She is a very sweet elderly woman. We have been visiting her twice a week to help fetch water and bring encouragement to her. Right now her life is very difficult she is caring for her sister that is lame and is struggling to do all her chores since she is so old. So fetching water for her is a huge help. Let me say that fetching water is not a simple task...especially where she lives. We have to hike down a very long hill and carry a 20 liter jerry can (approx 40lbs) back up the hill. It is not an easy task! haha though, I must say I am becoming quite strong and good at it!!
Brenda told us the other day, that since we have been coming and praying for her, her reoccuring sickness hasn't come back. Praise God!
We also visited a lady named Catherine. She is also very old and is struggling to care for her grandchildren. We decided this time to fill up a jerry can of water at our well and take it for her instead of hiking for it.
Catherine also struggled with really bad pain in her knees making it hard for her to walk and do her chores. I said that is not ok! So I told her I was going to pray for her and that next time I saw her, she was going to be healed and I would dance and praise God with her for what He has done. When we were leaving, she walked us to our car and she told us that she had no pain and hadn't felt this good in a long time!! I was so excited I grabbed her hands and started dancing with her!!
This is Elijah, he has elephantitis in his legs. We went and visited him and he told us that he was in pain and was so hopeless. We shared with him about the love of Jesus and we asked him if he wanted Jesus in his life and he said yes! So we prayed and encouraged him that God is going to radically change his life! Later, we brought him a Luganda bible and he was so excited! He told me that he was going to read it all the time and the next time he saw me, he would share with me all that he read!
God is SO good!! His love is continually being poured out on his people! Thank you so much for all your prayers and support as we reach out in love to God's precious people! Together we are advancing God's Kingdom! It is exciting to be alive!
