News from Masulita Uganda

February 2009

Hello friends. Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! We thank the Lord who has enabled us to enter into this New Year with His favor and blessing. We believe 2009 is going to be a year of new blessings, as well as challenges. As with every other year, we began by holding a Pastors Conference in Masulita Worship Centre. With the world crying out because of the economic crisis, we are thankful that our God is not hindered by global economic conditions. He provided us the funds through you, our good friends. Thank you for your faithful generosity to the work of God in this place.

The conference was wonderful. We gathered together for five days, from Monday through Friday, January 26-30. As usual, we set up a shelter in the yard of our church where we could accommodate many people in a cooler setting during the hot, sunny days.

Some delegates started arriving Sunday evening and stayed overnight while others came right from their villages Monday morning. Since the means of transport is not easy here, we usually borrow a lorry from our mission headquarters to help transport the people from the villages to Masulita. It is not really the best means, but we have found it cost effective since it brings in a number of people at the same time. About 150 people were brought in using this lorry (left).

Our shelter (right) was big enough to seat about nine hundred people and we were able to accommodate all the attendees during the sunny days. This time there were a few rainy periods, but that didn’t stop the conference. Even though it rained at night, we had a few hours each morning to prepare our conference shelter and seating.

According to the register, the largest gathering of adults was about seven hundred people. Of this number, about fifty were village pastors.

Pastor Curt Miller, from The Worship Centre in Brighton, brought 120 study bibles as gifts for the pastors. It is hard for some of these pastors to get good research materials to help understand the whole truth of the word of God. For those who can read English, such a bible is a good resource. We thank Pastor Curt for such a good heart.

The pastors raised their bibles up while some of the guest speakers prayed for them (see right). Also some of the people who minister together with these pastors received some of the bibles. The remaining bibles were donated to Yesu Akwagala Bible College, an English speaking bible college of this mission, for the benefit of the incoming students.

We had many different activities take place and the team from New Heart Worship Center led by Pastor Gordon, did a very good work in this conference. Below are some of the things that took place.

There was also a great deal of work that went on outside the conference shelter. Tim and Dwight worked in the guest house putting in different types of hangings and closets (below)

Alicia, Denise and Shelley worked on the kids workshop in church. About 250 – 350 children attended from around the village and many came from far away with their parents (below).

After the conference on Saturday, the entire team participated in an outreach to a local village. This time it wasn’t to preach the gospel only with words, but also through action. They met many of the different needs of the villagers deep in the bush, providing food, prayer, and comfort to the people.

The team visited the house which Tim and Denise helped build for the orphans, in a village about four kilometers from Masulita. God moved the heart of Pastor Cyrus from Masulita to start caring for children who have lost both parents and don’t have anyone to bring them into their home and care for them. About three years back, Denise (above) visited Pastor Cyrus and found he was trying to care for a large number of children in a very small house. She was moved by this situation and she decided to do something about it. When she returned to the USA, after meeting with a number of people about this matter, she and Tim decided to build the children a house.

We thank the Lord for all the work He is doing in us in Masulita and all of Uganda at large. We thank you, our partners, for the work you are doing by praying for us and supporting our ministry. May the Lord Bless you all.
