The Missionary Nature of Mission Servants Ministry

Here is an awesome story, the kind of story that reminds me of the 1st Century Churches. Spirit driven people begin working in a community to solve basic problems, feed and safeguard orphans, bring medical assistance, facilitate education, provide clean water, fill the air with children’s sounds of joy and hope, and valuing the old and homeless. A church begins to grow to thank God for His grace and blessings and sparking a desire to learn and share the good news. The lost are saved, seeing the love of Christ shared in a practical and scriptural way, and hope and gratitude is predominant. The church matures and is Holy Spirit compelled to reach out to the lost and suffering in a powerful and loving way that they never would have dreamed before. The resulting fruit is amazing.

The Bwase Redeemed Church (BRC) arose from within the Child Redeemed Mission (CRM) Home in Uganda as a means to feed the children spiritually and involve the community in a place to worship and know Christ Jesus. The church has bloomed over the recent years and initiated partnership projects with Mission Servants Ministry (MSM) to serve the poor, sick, and elderly in the community. Medical clinics, widows homes, and constant acts of compassion are some loving things happening in the BRC.

A few weeks ago the BRC without input or assistance from MSM and in obedience to a call by the Holy Spirit, organized a crusade, outreach, and Bible study in a predominantly Muslim community called Kisege, Uganda about 25 km away. The crusade ended up expanding to 5 days due to passionate response. This was very exciting for the BRC members. The Kisege Redeemed Church (KRC) was planted.

Here Pastor Emma of BRC and Director of CRM Home explains…..Monica, one of our church members together with her husband invited us to preach the Gospel to her parents who live in this community called Kisege. They told us about their community and the much need for the gospel. The majority of the community members believe in superstition and they have a big tree in which they believe there is a spirit governing the community so they sacrifice goats, offer money, clothes, and other gifts to that so called god under the tree! They also have a big number of Muslims with a big mosque. When I heard about all that I felt like an arrow in my heart, the Holy Spirit convicted and stirred up my spirit restlessly to lead a team to preach the Gospel to the entire community. I shared it with the church and the church welcomed it with much support financially including food and donated clothes, and a team of about 40 people went with me and Peter (another Pastor) to preach the Gospel both door to door and crusade for five days from 23-27/May/2023. We went to Kisege, Kamuli district to preach the gospel in a community with much need for the Gospel. It is a Muslim and superstition based community with a community shrine and no born-again church around. A number of people confessed Christ as their lord and savior including an Anglican Church priest. We baptized them and planted a church in that community. We are so grateful to the Lord for allowing it to happen. About 50 people came to Christ. We ordained Ronnie (Young leader from BRC) to take care of that new church. Yesterday was the second Sunday service and about 5 more people also joined the new church. I mean the number of members is increasing we thank God for that and ask God to strengthen them in Christ. One of the new believers allowed us to begin fellowshipping from her home. We give God the glory.

Please pray for the Kisege Redeemed Church and new Christians.
