November 5, 2012
Monday morning we met at the Diocese office of the
Anglican Church in Kisoro. The meeting was hosted by Bishop Cranmar Mugisha.
Bishop Cranmar had organized a three-day training for the children's workers
one of his many churches. We asked that he also gather a group of local church
leaders for us to meet. The leadership of the Anglican Church was present as
well as representatives from the Assemblies of God, United Pentecostal Church,
Cornerstone Church and the Union of Baptist Churches. All were introduced and
then Joe Cox, EGM's Vice-President of International Ministries presented the
work of our ministry. I was able to share along with Joe about the vision. When
Joe finished, he asked for feedback. The first to respond simply asked when the
Anglican's would be able to share what they received with other churches. One
Pastor said he had already heard through word of mouth about how the EGM teaching
had started to affect their ministry to children. The discussion took on a life
of its own guided not by the EGM team, but by God.
The conclusion was that on
November 21st, seven members of the group will meet to revisit the
training topics and then schedule a conference in Kisoro for those who could
not participate in our original conference. This will be led by Ugandans who
participated in the EGM seminars and are using the Model Children's Worker
principles in their church. After that, EGM will be asked to return and do
follow-up work with children's workers in the region. They believe that making
a significant investment in children's ministry by launching an EGM ministry in
Uganda could lead to a revival like the one that took place in the 1960's in
East Africa which began in the Kisoro region and spread throughout East Africa.
Joe and I felt like EGM-Uganda was springing alive before our eyes. Please
join us in prayer asking the LORD for his particular blessing on the ministry
meeting on November 21st. Ask the LORD to give us wisdom in joining
Him in this exciting new ministry.
