Thank you for the work you are doing in the world. We must work hard to get eternal life and let us work together in the Name of Jesus. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. When brothers and sisters become angry it is a sin – James 1:19-21. Listen my dear brothers and sisters, God has chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the Kingdom of God, James 2:3-5. If we have died with Christ Jesus we will also live with him in the Kingdom, 2 Tim. 2:11-13. In the will of God let it be done. Let us work together to get eternal life from God. Blessed are you who are poor in the eyes of God. Read Luke 6:20-23 and Luke 4:43. We must preach the good news of the Kingdom in all the world.

Because of Jesus I am allowed to send you warm and lovely greetings in our Master’s Name. Thank you very much for your letters which were all interesting and let us pray that you continue with the same spirit. We were with Sue two weeks ago enjoying organic agriculture study in Central Uganda but unfortunately I was affected by chest pain which resulted in vomiting of blood which made me feel very ill so that I could not enjoy other topics, but generally it was a very interesting course. As I came back to our ecclesia in Uganda we joined our group of seven members and began to practice some of the things we had learnt about, such as double digging and Mandala gardens. Do you know this type of garden?

I always read the Gospel News that you send and get pleasure and encouragement also to share with the rest of our ecclesia. In Lumino ecclesia there are five baptised members, three brothers and two sisters, i.e. Bro. Godfrey Egessa, Bro. Frederick Ojambo, Bro. Peter Mugeni, Sis. Josephine Ajiambo and Sis. Florence Nahumach. We also have 8 students on correspondence and 12 Sunday School children. Our Sunday service starts at eight a.m. with Sunday School. From 9 a.m.- 12 noon Bible School reading and Breaking of Bread service. After lunch we have Bible Study with the contacts up to 5 p.m. We also visit students on Wednesdays and Sundays every week for Bible Study
I would like to share with our brothers and sister in Christ about the topic – SPEAKING IN FAITH. Why do we need to speak in faith as believers and how do we need to speak in faith as believers? How are we feeding our hearts? How do we livethe language of faith? The Bible tells us that by faith we understand and believe that the creation was formed at God’s command, Gen.1:2-3,6,9,11,20 and Heb.11:1-3. God is our paymaster who expects us to speak in faith in order to get His plans and blessings. Ex.23:25, Isa.59:1-13, Jer.29:11. What we see here is a fact, that we should call on God, pray to Him, and seek Him through His word. If we keep on feeding our hearts with evil, we shall speak evil, but if we feed it with an abundance of the fear of the Lord, our tongue and mouth will determine our lives before, and at, our Lord’s return for judgement. 2 Cor. 4:13. We need to be holy by speaking in faith “Godliness with contentment is a great gain” (1Tim Speaking in faith needs actions because faith without action is dead, James2:17,26), so we need to do as God commands us. In order to be successful we need to have faith in God by speaking in faith in whatever we do ( 2 Chr.20:20). Num.13:30 reminds us how Caleb encouraged the people before Moses to have faith (speaking in faith) in order to take possession of the land, so we need to speak in faith to overcome our difficulties. Acts.14:3 Let us speak boldly in our preaching. Let us live by faith that God will do the things we ask. 2 Cor.5:7. Let us speak and act in line with the Word of God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Num.14:28.

We thank you for the messages that you send to us to keep us updated with different pieces of information across the world. These messages are very good reminders that empower some of us spiritually, hence giving us a clear way forward for our future as we await the return of Jesus Christ before we triumphantly march to meet God’s glory in Jerusalem where we expect paradise. The big worry for nuclear weapons is a plan which is under the care of the Almighty God. There is no man on earth who is greater than God and so we keep praying that God defeats their plan and finds a solution. Our area has been hit by natural catastrophe characterised by famine as a result of landslides, hailstones and heavy rains throughout the years in review and this has caused a problem that the crops grown do not now give any yield.

It has been a long period since I last heard from you, almost a full year, as during the last six months I have been in South Africa and Iraq. I am now working in the Uganda Red Cross in the Disaster Department.
