Godfrey's Mission

The recent days have been tight with mission schedules. The mission to Northern Uganda (Arua) was very fruitful and we obtained the biggest ever registered number of converts in one mission, to Jesus Christ. Over 2000 souls gave their lives to Christ.

The area we were in was occupied by around 80% Muslims. Itís near the border of Uganda and Sudan. We worked with various pastors, visited many communities and camps, hospitals and prisons, nursing schools. God was gracious to us that we were allowed by the District Residence Commissar to conduct public gospel gatherings even after the ban of such due to Meningitis outbreak. All schools were closed and all public meetings banned, but glory to God when we stepped into that land, the RDC invited me and some of our staff to bless his office with prayer to God and granted us permission to conduct public meetings all over - Praise be to God. We also got opportunity to minister the gospel through their fm radio stations and only TV station where many sent in their contacts on making a personal decision to follow Christ. I was greatly moved and humbled to see what God can do. I will send you some pictures of this mission.

I am glad to hear that the 30 Hour Famine went well. We were in agreement in the spirit with you, as I had pledged to you. The program sounds to have been so great. Wish one day I can join you in person. I am also glad that you liked the letters from our youths. There are more who would like to send you their letters and possibly stay in touch with your youths, if they will. I am grateful to God for having connected you with us - how great it is to share with a family across the surging seas in another part of the world.

We are so happy and excited to be on your website. I will also send you my personal testimony of how God miraculously saved my life from one of the most fatal accidents in the history of Uganda where about 60 died and I walked out alive. God is great. This testimony has changed many lives from the time it happened. I have written a book about it, and will publish it in the near future to bless more people all over. Many among us have amazing testimonies on how God has worked for them, that has strengthened them and given them a stronger reason to serve the Lord, with 100% absolute will.

I am glad that your youths were touched by the conditions of the people in Uganda. One day, I pray the Lord will enable a part of you to come to Uganda for a mission with us and we can visit and be a blessing to the people here together. We also raise food stuffs for the hungry, clothes for the unclothed, and other items to donate to the needy. It's a very touching and heartbreaking experience whenever we go deep down to villages/communities to share Christ's love. These are some of the most ignored and unreached places, many go through different untold levels of sufferings, human degradation. In the Arua mission, on the last Sunday, we all broke into tears after I had shared in one church service and a lady came up to testify of how our mission changed her life. She sleeps outside in the bushes (unsheltered); her parents died; she was without clothes, no food and other problems. We helped her to get to know Christ's love for her life, got her clothes and asked one of the hosting pastors whether he could provide her with accommodation - he was so pleased to do so. We pledged to raise some little money among ourselves to send to her to help her get started with something to get her life on track.

We are currently raising funds for upcoming missions - it's quite a great challenge for us, and please keep praying for our mission organization in that direction.

Our young people also yearn to keep in touch with your youths and share lots more. Surely, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers - please we will be glad to receive any prayer requests from you and pray for you. I am really happy and excited for our friendship and I bless the Lord for that. Hope to hear from you soon.
