Doing Well in Uganda

Friends, it is amazing to be in beautiful Uganda!  Our team arrived in Kampala Wednesday with ALL our luggage and no major problems through travel.  Praise the LORD!  It is always a blessing to start a project so smoothly.  After spending one night in Kampala, we drove three hours to Ekitangaala (translated “The Light”) Ranch where African Children’s Mission is based.

The past two nights, our team has hosted an open-air crusade -- we call it our CityCelebration -- in a nearby village called Kakooge.  This is one of my favorite parts during all our projects.  It is always great to bring the Gospel to remote areas that are sometimes skipped over by larger organizations.  We have had about 1500 people attend the conference these two nights and 150 made professions of faith.  We are expecting tonight to be even better!

We will stay one more night at the ranch to finish our CityCelebration; then, we will head back to Kampala to begin our school programs Monday morning.  We should have a very busy week ahead.  Our Ugandan leader, Pastor Apollo, has our team scheduled to speak in around 60 schools with tens of thousands of students!   We are expecting God to move mightily here in Uganda!

Thank you all once again so much for standing with YES and praying for us during this project.  Please continue to pray for our team members and the thousands of people we will be speaking with.  God bless!

In Christ,
Steve Stockwell
