Cooking Our Food

Here we use the 3 stones or 3 fireplace as a stove. Then we light sticks and place pot on it. It easy the cheapest that our poor people can afford. But the effects are that the smoke emitted is so poisonous to the women they sometimes get cancer, just the way cigarette smokers do. At times the children develop eye problems that affect there education, and many deaths have been reported as a result of house fires from sparks because they are grass thatched.

We pray for blessings to get improved stoves for the families. They cant afford them, but they emit less smoke and are safe for children. Please consider a donation to help us purchase safe cooking stoves.

Baptism at Church

We had visitors who came to our Church. We had a lovely teaching and after prayers, ADAMS a young man who had received Jesus requested for a baptism. We boarded their vans and went to River Yala.

Accompanied by other pastors from headquarter, I read the verses, then they dipped him in water as a sign of dying and rising with Jesus. There were celebrations as the congregations, and even those women who were washing clothes at the river, joined in praising the Lord.

Free Medical Clinic

It was a day of relief as many patients turned out in large numbers to get freeĀ  treatment. Yes, due to poverty level many can’t afford to get treatment at government hospitals which do not only have few drugs but are far and out of reach.

This has made many to resort to Panadol to relieve the pains for all illness. Typhoid, Asthma, AIDS, Malaria, Pneumonia, etc. Thank God for the Team for the Help. At least they get treatment once in many years.

Visit from Canadians

Today we were privileged to welcome a team of white Canadians who visited our village. They got to painting of a laboratory they built at Bar Olengo health centre. They will conduct free medical camp in various places to help treat the sick. Here we have people suffering from eye, ear, tooth problems. But since they can’t afford to raise the amount required, they opt to stay at home. There for when such blessings come, people turn out in large numbers. In the last 2 years we had a team of Korean doctors. Thanks to God for this team.

Genesis 12

Now the Lord had said to Abram. Get out of your country, from your kindred, and from your fathers house, to a land which I will show you. I will make u a great nation, I will bless you. And make your name great. I will bless those who bless you and curse him who curses you and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. It means that we are called into salvation. Where we have to let go all the evil ways, worshiping idols which our fathers did,. Abram was a great man of God. The Lord did speak to him, just the way he is speaking to us, but v4 says that he took his brother lot, wife, servants whom I am sure carried there small gods. v7 the Bible says that he was just shown the promised land. Why because he had gone against what God said. Then he passed thru it and headed to Egypt. because of famine.. you see disobeying God leads to famine , problems which can make people go back to older ways. Finally when he separated with lot, it is then that the Lord shown him the land.

Genesis 13, 14

And the lord said to Abram after Lot had separated from him. Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are.

Genesis 15

I give you all the Land..it means that we have to make sure that we are following the Lords direction s if we want blessings.. In other words, we have to be faithful, we have to shun all the evil ways that our father, families were doing. We have to be born again to be Saved.. through Jesus blood.. amen. Am glad we were blessed. The widows and orphans were prayed for.
