Dear friends and prayer partners,

Greetings and welcome to year 2019!

Some time in April 2013, at exactly 5:00 am, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me very clearly in a vision, not a dream as I was seated outside the main house, praying: I was approaching a long gate opening to a well-secured to something, I assumed was a building. The gate and the perimeter wall were high so I could not see any buildings behind the gate.There was a well paved road divided into 6 well marked lanes leading to that closed gate. On the right hand side of the gate stood a watchman who turned out to be the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

As I approached the gate, I did not follow a particular lane but crossed from lane to lane. The watchman, or gate-keeper, who turned out to be the Lord, reprimanded me for crisscrossing lanes without sticking to one lane. He opened the gate,and to my surprise, the was no building but narrow bushy foot path overgrown with grass and roaring river beneath. It was unstable bridge path. Bellow the foot path was mighty rushing river water too dangerous for life.As I took each step , the path shook threatening to be collapsing into mighty rushing waters beneath.

I was scared stiff, but the gate keeper led the way, walking confidently. When He noticed fear in me, He simply advised me not to look on the sides or focus on the scary sight and sound of rushing water beneath,but straight on him. The destination seem very far off, the road had hills and valley sand meandered left and right.

It was last year, 2018, when I clearly understood that this meant that the going was getting rougher and turbulent in ministry. It is also the year that I felt the Lord wanted me to do only what He wanted me to do, not other many nice things around me. It was the year that we realized a profound impact in the lives of university and tertiary institutions students. Our Single lane (Mandate) is teach the body of Christ and prepare them for the rapture. A standard of holiness depicting a saint; a candidate for a meeting with the Lord Jesus Christ in the skies is the ultimate goal of our mission.

It is a very unpopular gospel: People are comfortable with prosperity, healing and anything else, but not repentance. Both inside and outside the church the message of repentance is not palatable to the ears. The enemy has equally responded by trying to block this. There is no year, apart from 2018, when we lost three sponsors, creating a huge administrative shortfall. I do not remember ever taking a car out on mission with insufficient gas and funds only to run out of power at 1:00 am, and sleeping on road side, apart from 2018. There is no year when any of my children stayed out of school because of lac of fees, apart from last year, 2018, when our fourth child, Caleb, stayed home and he is still at home. The enemy has often tried to divert my attention outside the main course, but I remember the the vision.

This afternoon I will be speaking in the biggest Nursing School in Jinja about the ” Grace,” and “Christian responsibility.” This is the most contentious issue right now here. People, especially the youth, believe the dispensation of Grace gives them the liberty to indulge in reckless living.

We have a tight program up to June 5th, covering over 10 districts of Uganda. We going to various churches, universities and tertiary institutions. So pray with us for sound health, protection from accidents, and provision for gas and car maintenance.

Also, pray for my son to go to school as soon as possible. He needs one off USD 2,000 for PPL (Private Pilot License) in Nairobi, Kenya. The rest are minor and we can handle as a family.

Thank you very much, we have often remembered every one in this list. We now have special missions account for travel, car maintenance, and sometimes support for poor young children we meet in churches. Any contribution is welcome as the Lord leads. Support can be wired directly, or sent through the WorldRemit agency.

In your prayers, include 8 girls who need sponsors. Support for needy girl children is one of our mandates from the Lord
