This is a "Clevers" Title for a Blog

Oliotia? Or, "How are you?" in English. What an amazing day for school assemblies, prayer walking, and street evangelism. We left Adonai around 7:30 this morning and were a little late to our first assembly. We're on Uganda time, though, so it wasn't a problem at all. We pulled up to Clevers' Origin - with a school motto of "Mean What You're" - and had a blast with the 1234 kids. That's right, almost 1300 kids were all worshiping with us and being attentive listeners when it came time for a message and skits. Donnie did an amazing job preaching throughout our worship and we ended the program with two skits: an explanation of John 3:16 and clowns! We got to go through our previously rehearsed skit describing our favorite verse with the trusty translations of Pastor Enoch. Then the kids had a chance to laugh while the clowns performed. Everyone did such an amazing job and we believe that many children were saved by the end! We did the same program at one more school and even had the time to take a picture in the middle of all of the kids. The coolest part had to be when the kids remembered a song that we taught them in a previous year. Some of you may know it: "It's a Great Day." We had all of the kids "Walkin' in the light of God's love." After the assembly, we were able to take a group picture with a bunch of kids around us. It was so sweet spending time with those kids and watching God do some amazing things with our little time at those schools.






We stopped at the Schapster's condo to eat our delicious lunch - sandwiches, Pringles, and pineapple - and had a chance to take our shoes off and rest a bit. We promise that we were completely prepared to "rough" it the entire trip, but it is definitely nice to be able to plop down on a leather couch and feel the breeze from Lake Victoria off the balcony. Helen has been such a blessing to us this entire trip and we are so excited to spend more time with her.



The afternoon was full of prayer walking and street evangelism. We got a chance to get to know our new translators from Luzira Community Church (our past translators are members of Gaba Community Church) and use them in our time with the community. One team prayed over an area where witch craft is being practiced, another team prayed over a street where crime is prevalent, and other teams prayed over other various things in the community. It is definitely apparent that Satan is working all around, but God's light is beginning to show through and transform peoples' lives everyday. Praise the Lord for what He is doing and that we get to be a part of it in this time. Street evangelism was a truly amazing experience that some of us had never experienced before. God equipped us with so much strength, though, and even the naturally timid team members were stepping up and talking to different people. Some lives were saved and even more said that they would join us at church on Sunday. We hope to see more children at Fun in the Son Club on Saturday also! All-in-all it was absolutely eye-opening to talk to random people and share the gospel. We can't wait to do it more this week!

So what's to come? School assemblies again tomorrow morning, more prayer walking and street evangelism, preparing for Fun in the Son, and even preparing Sunday lessons. We thank you all for your prayers and encouragement and can't wait to see what God has in store for us the next few days.

Your sister in Christ,
