Thursday and Friday was a flurry of work and workers as the team pushed to finish the buildings for Sunday's Church building dedication. God held the rains off to overnights and we were able to bring it to near completion by Friday night. Several of the Kabwangasi Church members worked Saturday and even well into the night Saturday night on some finishing touches. But, in God's timing; we had the Church building dedication on Sunday morning.
The 4 hour service was a Praise and testimony to God's grace and providence. And the thanks from the Kabwangasi Church members to the people of Central Community Church in Wichita was truly humbling. Jerry led our team through a series of introductions, gift giving, praise and thanks, Kimberly delivered a great sermon on being "...the salt of the world..." and the singing--well, you know about the singing.
We prayed for a service honoring God and HE led us in the praise and worship. We were asked again and again to tell Pastor John and the people of Central Community Church, Wichita, Kansas how thankful they are to us. We were here in body and we are all here in Spirit.
We traveled back to Kampala on Sunday night and are working Monday, building desks and meeting with some of the sponsored Children of Promise. By the way, the Senior Pastor at the new Kabangasi Church was once a sponsored Children of Promise child; God IS working through this ministry to make a difference. We will now move to more teaching this week with a marriage conference, a men's conference and more women's groups. Please continue to pray for our continued health and rest and that HE will be glorified in all we do. Terry
