Uganda was marvelous (in Kenya now). They are so hungry for good
teaching! While I was in Uganda, David reported that he has planted 14
new house churches in a trip that he somehow paid for away from the
capital to show the Jesus video with our donated projector & speakers,
preach the gospel and plant home churches with new believers!
Traveling with a projector & large speakers is not cheap!
On the other hand our Uganda trip up country was the roughest, I’ve
had! But worth every minute of discomfort! After a few days teaching
relatively near our host apostolic church planter’s home, with enough
time to download my online textbook & do my first assignments at a
fast internet café (my wireless connection was a bargain at $.105 for
100 MB/day or $3.19/mo. if used every day, but slower than Rwanda) we
(4 men) traveled a long ways to Western Uganda by bus and spent 8 days
on various overnight excursions in rural Uganda. After the first 2
night visit with the nicest mud-built squatty potty I’ve ever seen (it
looked clean, private, had toilet paper, & had a stand with soap &
water to wash your hands!) then we stayed where they had a nasty
sqatty potty with no toilet paper, except book pages & leaves & I got
malaria & diarrhea with fever for a full two days & the trots to some
degree for about 10 days! On the 2nd day, I had enough strength to
ride a moto-taxi double for 1.5 hrs to use an internet café to charge
my two computer batteries, 3 phones and 4 rechargeable batteries that
I use in my LED pocket light, camera, and headlight. Thankfully they
had toilet paper & a sqatty potty & even a mattress that I fell asleep
on while my batteries charged.
Using leaves for toilet paper & adding my own human pie to the cow
pies on the way to teach was a memorable experience?. Because I
usually taught with two interpreters, I started like a lecturer, but
often took the 2nd hour for discussion type answers to questions with
longer answers than questions, because God has blessed me with so much
applicable knowledge to almost any question.
Our host was a real evangelist for making disciples in home
fellowship/churches, so I got the idea that the newly begun home
churches could expand by taking our East Africa 8 language Jesus
videos with a portable DVD player to reach the lost. So my secretary
is duplicating the ones we bought some time back & she bought one with
rechargeable power for $60, but I can’t afford the several or more
that we need!
David planted 14 house churches in on week-long trip away from the
Tanzania capital by using the donated DVD projector & donated loud
speakers to evangelize & start churches in the homes of new believers
or others.
Needs beyond my ability (the first two):
1. $150-200 for David to take another trip.
2. $60 ea. for more portable DVD players.
3. Money for shipping them or needs like the 2nd DVD recorder we
bought for $30, because our computer with its own DVD died & Grace now
uses a netbook which can’t duplicate DVDs with only one
player/recorder.
We really need some donations! See the italicized signature area at
the end to donate.
To save money traveling in Uganda we found a dump truck for $29 one
way (vs $84 for an SUV) to take four men on a 3 hr trip up a
car-impassable road way out in the sticks! I was humbled, because
after waiting all day for the 3 ton dump-truck to be repaired & the 3
hr trip, the people who waited for us 12 hrs (9-9) were boisterously
singing and dancing when they heard our truck arriving!
Ashkey was well taken care of during our travels, by a single
mother/refugee from Rwanda who amazingly had the same Rwanda mobile
phone service that I have in my dual sim-card phone, so we called her,
using my Rwanda phone to her Rwanda number & she told us that Ashkey
was very happy while we traveled! Now Ashkey started with a
Congolese-Rwandese, mother, has a Conglolese mother who spoke the same
main languages as Provi, & a Rwandan mother in Uganda who speaks her
mother-tongue, French, and Luganda (as did Provi) and in Kenya has a
mother/grandmother who speaks English & Swahili and new languages.
Everywhere we went the people were keenly interested in my teaching
and eager to find out how they could get my book “The Passionate Heart
of God” (The Song of Solomon Revealed) which I have in my computer in
3 languages that many of them could read. I can email it to you in
English & more, but I hope to get a $10 donation to support bringing
truth to the poor.
They also learned about simple church. Some of the Ugandans speak
English &/or Swahili. In Kenya, my partner Patrick is giving away a
book, “Church in the House” (my favorite house church book) printed
with two great basic discipleship books, included, by another USA
missionary in English & Swahili that he will send at no charge to
Uganda leaders who can read them!
By cooperation with great American authors, we are expanding God’s
kingdom by making real disciples with great basic books in languages
they can speak. I have emphasized that the discipline of reading and
memorizing scripture is so important to the work of causing people,
“to know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” In Kenya we got
260 of “The Disciple-Making Minister” (great bible school in-a-book)
in English & 40 in Swahili and we can send them in Swahili for the
ones in Uganda who can’t read English, but read Swahili.
After our very successful 8-day trip, we spent a day in our host’s
house, before we rode a rented motorcycle (3 men) on a 3-day trip with
as much as 5 hours of riding to arrive. The last overnight stop of
our last trip topped off our Uganda journeys with the best African
food (in our new host’s house) that even Ugandan Samson had ever eaten
(Yummmhh!) and I was hungry after about 10 days of the “trots”. We
also had even better Holy Spirit directed teaching, and some long
conversations (in good English) with the well-educated oldest host’s
daughter who was the cook & leader of her 5 youngest brothers &
sisters (the oldest 5, except for her were all married) because she
resigned from her hotel management & catering work to help her parents
when her mother was too ill to cook when her younger brothers and
sisters were in school! They are all praying for me to find a good
African wife?!
When we were horsing around one night (me & the kids) I picked her up
by the elbows. She said she couldn’t remember when someone had picked
her up after child-hood?. Her age is the same as the true age of my
wife (almost 32 at death) who was 6 years older than she told me.
Before we left Uganda, my Rwanda brother-in-law finally found the
results of an HIV test for infants that showed Ashkey’s treatment
succeeded, she is HIV negative, as am I, & needs no more HIV related
treatment!
Those rural travels with little or no internet made it hard to keep up
with my online class, but I had two batteries & a cheap, fast,
wireless connection on the way to the airport & got all my assignments
submitted by the due day on the way to the airport. I got perfect
scores on every assignment of my first online class at the University
where I will get a double-major in Business Admin. & History.
I made it safely to Nairobi by plane, wearing Ashkey, my back-pack, &
rolling two carry-ons & even my electric water pot for her warm milk,
arrived safely with us in good condition! She needed no Visa with her
Rwanda passport, & mine was only $25 of the $30 cash I had for Kenya.
Sorry for the delay in Uganda news (I finish 2 weeks in Kenya & leave
tomorrow). My Kenya news will come quicker & was great, but was
delayed by a 2nd theft of my backpack & computer, but God provided the
resources I needed with an unsold identical computer, & my pack did
not have my external back-up, or my chargers for my phones, but it had
my razor, so I preached today, with a very hairy neck?. I am so
thankful for every minute traveling, even though it cost me nearly a
year of income (at least for poverty standard Americans)!
I finished this at my last Kenya teaching meeting, & danced with my
healthy daughter in my arms! My last day in Kenya, Patrick & I will
travel to at least 3 Universities to seek a faculty, teaching
position, so my daughter can live with me in Africa, where God has
established me according to the two prophecies in Burundi, in 24 hrs.,
6+ years ago, “God is going to use you in Burundi, and the nations.” &
at MorningStar Ministries, “I see God spreading you all over Africa,
as a man spreads his fingers.”
The next news will be “Kenya Adventures & bachelor fun?”
