Spiritual Fruit in Uganda.

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.

Trip 38 to Uganda and Back

We have returned home from a great trip to the Child Redeemed Mission Home, Promise Primary School, and Rock View Primary School. I’ll post more in the near future about bringing forth healthy abundant water from the ground, pushing back the darkness with power, funding projects beyond the reach of whole communities, enabled many small business to start and grow, encouraged and empowered a church and evangelism teams, and showed a lot of discarded and vulnerable children and people that they are valued. My personal prayer requests were mercifully filled and we were all blessed.

Here are a few photos of the best things that happened….Thank you all for your prayers and support!

Next Trip…#38, to Uganda, May 11

There is a lot going on at our served ministries, particularly at Promise Primary. We finished enclosing the compound in a fence for security, drilled a water well last month, currently constructing two Dormitory Buildings and a large water tank stand. Power will be wired into PPS for the first time after wiring over 1 km from town (in Uganda, you need to pay for the poles and wires). We will work to organize and complete these projects and leave the school with more class and dorm space, power, lights, and running treated water. The community will also have clean water access. There are a number of other projects at Child Redeemed Mission Home as well as just enjoying visiting those little Humans. As an engineer working in missions….this is really fun! Imagine the switch flip that ends darkness at night, and the valve turn that ends hours of work for dirty water. We will be the lucky ones to see that but give thanks to all who have supported MSM and praise to God!

Please pray for our provisions (these projects are costly) and for good weather (too much rain will be a problem).

Here are some current status photos…. Girls and Boys Dorms under construction.

New Children Added to CRM

Adding new children to be cared for at the Child Redeemed Mission Home is such a blessing. As the kids that have grown up at CRM leave for High School and begin integrating more with their extended families, openings allow for new kids to join the CRM family. The regional Child Officer identifies vulnerable and endangered children and the staff vetts them, prays about them, and selects the children that will be cared for as family at CRM. In a tragic way, I describe the result for the children that are selected as “Winning the Kid Lottery”. Being loved, fed, kept healthy, sleep in a safe place, and sent to school….is a dream for so many kids. I wish there was room for hundreds.

Welcome to the five new CRM children to be loved and cared for. Our goal is to raise children to be healthy and productive members of their community, know how to love others, and have an opportunity to know and love our Savior Jesus Christ.

These kids are supported fully by prayers and donations to Mission Servants Ministry. Please contact us if you feel led to be more involved.

Sharing-work Needs many Hearts…

A few years ago when I was changing careers from Business Owner to focusing as a Volunteer Director of Mission Servants Ministry, I chose as my centering Bible verse, Hebrews 13:15-16 15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. 16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. Best move ever.

MSM has been blessed since 2007 to do that (Sharing) with orphans, widows, sick, disaster struck, and poor as well as schools and medical operations. I’ve realized that “Share with others” doesn’t only mean blessings of funds and services to the needy, but also “Share with others” the opportunity to be a blessing. I’m going to do that now with a list of projects and needs on the current plate of MSM that will make a loving impact to the needy children and people we serve in Uganda and Kenya in the next several months. These are all the same sort of things that we have been doing for the last 15 years and funded purely by donations from individuals lead to “Share”. If any of these projects touches your heart and you would love to “Share with us” please follow the links or methods to donate at the end. Money is an incredible tool that we know how to use efficiently. 100% of donations will go to these efforts directly. Thank you for praying about this and to those that have joined with us to date.

Current MSM Projects and Needs

Requirements, fees, clothing, bedding, etc…to bring 6 new vulnerable kids from the Kamuli district into the Child Redeemed Mission (CRM) Home in January.
