Missions Reloaded........

On December 27th, 2010, our mission team went on mission trip to Kumi, Northeastern Uganda, with a vision and targeted village to carry the Gospel to the villages. We believe God's word is true in Matthew 11:12 when Jesus said "Since the days of John the Baptist the Kingdom of God has been forcefully advancing and forceful men take hold of it. These mission trips were clear pictures of these truths coming to life. The Kingdom is advancing!


On the second day specifically we represented African Christian Fellowship- Uganda. We are young adults comprising of Project managers, factory workers, secretaries, college students, nurses, photographers, Auto mechanics, cooks, teachers, salesmen..oh and we don't want to leave out. we are also preachers of the word. With so many areas of talents and such a broad spectrum of gifts, God used each person in their own specific way to share the love of Jesus to the Kumi people.
Through evangelism, children's care, medical missions and Crusades, the Gospel was presented to hundreds of people. some most likely for the very first time. We witnessed the Lord work in the hearts of some 73 people in the small village of Auaruk Minai as they kneeled before us to accept Jesus into their lives. The rejoicing was sweet as we cried tears of joy knowing that heavens angels were praising our Father in Heaven for the newfound faith of these precious people. Bibles were given to the folks in this village and opportunities were taken advantage of to do some discipleship for the new members of God's family. What a joy it was to bring the assurance to these new Christians that salvation was for real and now God wanted them to know that there was a plan for their lives. The relationships we experienced from all the visits and love shared will be remembered by all for a lifetime.
We also witnessed significant change in our own hearts as the power of the Holy Spirit moved during our share times at the end of each day. This is where God truly displays the change in our lives caused by His wonderful work in the mission field. It's as important as the act of sharing the Gospel, because God draws us near to Him due to a close encounter with Jesus.
