Prayer Needed

I need your help and anyone you know whos a believer. I met a young man named Hasan he is a muslim and I have started talking with him and I need prayer warriors for me and for his salvation. I have never in my life felt a stronger call or feeling or whatever ya wanna call it to invest time and energy into a person. I have shared Christ with him several times and we have a good friendship. The time is short and the Lord can do miracles and I pray for this man to know the Lord Jesus Christ. Please be my warriors as I know I am heading into a battle I cannot win in my own strength. I need the Lords army and his power. I love and care for this man deeply and I desire to rejoice over one lost sheep brought back into the fold. Thanks

Fun in Africa

A few weeks back when it was late and the night sky was showing off Gods beautiful creation. My fellow hands on partners and myself decided to have some good old fashion fun. While looking up into the sky we began to spin as fast as we could and then run. We never seemed to run straight or even stay on our feet. With ministry and serious tasks at hand we seem to forget to have fun just simple fun. As we star gazed and spun round and round the guard on duty started laughing very hard. He found our silliness to be very funny and odd at the same time. The small excitement was a dear moment in our team. The time is moving and the days are getting short. Love life and the simple pleasures of it. Praise the Lord for His wondrous creation.

The cost

When we think about our faith in Christ and what it means to follow Him. I feel we do not fully understand the cost to follow Christ. Are we willing to die for Him? As he died for us. Will we go to the ends of the earth to share His name? I ask these question because just this past week a good friend of mine who was serving in Mozambique died sharing his faith. He loved life and inspired all who knew him. He was 21 years old and was on fire for the Lord. He drove two hours out to the beaches of Mozambique to share Christ with the beach bums as he called them. Nothing would stop him from preaching the Word. Are we willing to pay the ultimate price to share Christ like my friend Jeremiah?
"To live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21

Preach the Word

The deeper I go in relationships here the more I realize this world is lost. Not just Uganda, or the continent of Africa, but the whole world. Being a christian has become so cultural and we have lost the true meaning behind the word. I just read a great quote the other day that said "sitting in an oven doesnt make you a biscuit and sitting in church doesnt make you a christian," and I cannot express this truth enough. Its great if you have attended church, but if you believe you will be saved and enter heaven on this basis sorry to say it but you wont get in. I have been told by so many people well Ive been baptized, yet again sorry no dice on entering by this qualification. The reality of the world is we want the easy way out. I am reminded of the rich young ruler who kept all the laws and rules and asked how do I enter the kingdom of heaven and Christ told him SELL EVERYTHING and FOLLOW ME. This man walked away sad because he wanted to keep his things. So what can we do to enter heaven? Go to church, be baptized, donate money, all great things, but first we must confess that we are sinners in need of a savior and FOLLOW HIM. Are you serving the King of Kings? Are you sacrificing your life for the kingdom of the Lord most High? He sacrificed His life for you. I say all this due to the urgency of life and remember tomorrow may not be here. Share Christ with all and everyone you can. Sacrifice your comfort and GO PREACH THE WORD.
