Sept 21 - First day in the field

Sept 21^st:  Up early for ‘Morning Glory”, a time of worship and praise.  Liz had the privilege of leading the devotion ‘Living in Anticipation of Heaven”.  Then we were off to the outreach sites.  We split into groups and visited 5 sites where we treated several hundred cows, goats, sheep, pigs and dogs.  We had lots of opportunity to share God’s Word.  One group met next to the primary school.  Apparently the students were so distracted the teachers finally brought them out and the team preached to all 900 of them for an hour.  Many made decisions for Christ.  The place we went to in the afternoon was at first not welcoming.  They had had a bad experience 2 years previous when some government vets vaccinated their animals with a bad vaccine and many of them died.  We spent a long time talking with them and finally they began to bring the animals.  We are sure God orchestrated that one too as with not so many animals to treat half our group went through town to evangelize.  Several made decisions for Christ and a number of Muslims were present and heard the Word of God.  We had another wonderful time of praise and worship in the evening, a late dinner, and yes, to bed late again!

Prayer Request:

-         praise for the Christian community God provided for us here.

-         praise for the many people who made decisions for Christ today.  Pray they will be discipled by the local church and body of believers.

-         Continue to pray for repair of Val’s car.

-         Continue to pray for the flooding and mud conditions in Karamoja.
