Revival Time Ministry, Uganda
Dearly Beloved Readers and Partners,
It is important to us that we update every one who is close to us and has shown interest in the work that we are doing. This provides knowledge for prayer basis for us and ministry in this location. Note: not necessarily to solicit help. We are delighted and honored when help comes as a result of God moving some one.
I had been reading, and even teaching, about Jesus feeding five thousand men (close to twelve thousand people in total) in Chapter fourteen in the book of Mathew, without practically understanding the emotional and compassionate background of the story. He was not doing this to demonstrate His divine capacity, but moved by His love and compassion for mankind – His very mission on earth. People who love Christ Jesus, share His emotion towards the suffering people who are the image of God.

I was speaking in a general church seminar in Kaberamaido, my home district, and recently and came face to face with a devastating famine among people. Several people had survived on wild fruits and roots for weeks. There was a moving story of how an old man, about 72, had a scuffle with a wild monkey over a mango fruit. He got bitten and badly injured. He had got a fruit, but a monkey jumped on him, bit him, and ran a way with the fruit.
Famine is widespread in the Teso Sub region due to double crop failure, due to EL-NINO, and prolonged drought. News on radio, television, and newspapers talk of people dying of famine, especially in Amuria district. There is no immediate hope till perhaps at the end of September.

I was in a teaching seminar, but was moved so much when people looked frail and weak due to hunger. They had not had a good meal for months. I felt I could even sell myself to help. I told the people go pick up their cups and plates so that they could eat food I provided. I was overwhelmed by compassion for the suffering people. I provided breakfast made of porridge and boiled mutton, and Posho, to about 100 people, on average for three days. At the start there were less, but the number kept increasing. I know some were coming just to eat something. If I had prolonged the seminar, the whole village would have come to the seminar.
