In Tororo Uganda, Youth Pastor James arranged to have us speak in a college preparatory school. After being warmly welcomed by the headmaster, we were ushered into a room packed with 300 students ages 15 to 30 years old. We were given free reign to speak to them about Christ for about 1 1/2 hours. Nurse Sandy went first and told them how God had made it possible for her to go to nursing school and empowered her to excel. Sandy's daughter Ashley boldly went next and preached on the power of God and invited the sick to come up and get prayed for. She also asked how many were Born Again and about 1/3 of the hands went up. My turn was next and I told them how God had performed several miracles to get me through school and hired on by HP. I then did my best to tell then that while education was important, the knowledge of God was far more important. "Pastor" Kevin as he is now known spoke last and preached John chapter 3 and wrapped up his message with an invitation to receive Christ as their Savior.
Pastor Moses and his church body go to the Tororo General Hospital to feed the patients as often as they are able to afford it (the hospital is next to the church). We met with the hospital administrator who thanked the church for their commitment to the hospital. You see, the hospital is run on a very low budget (3 doctors for 250 patients) and they do not have the means to feed their patients. If family members or friends do
not feed them, then they simply do not get fed. The staff also knows the power of God and welcomes any healing help they can get for the patients in their facility.
