Only one week left in Uganda

Oli otya, mukwano! (Howdy, friend!)  We have had another great week of ministry here in Uganda!  Thank you all so much for the prayer and support.  Most of the issues I mentioned last message have cleared up.  Praise the Lord!  What we accomplish here truly wouldn’t be possible without the help of people back home.

This week, I had the opportunity to share the Gospel in ten schools with almost 3,000 students and more than 1,600 of them said that they were willing to turn from their sin and follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior for the first time!  God is so good!

Also, our Ugandan leader, Pastor Apollo, had been driving our van, a vehicle provided for him three years ago with funds from our DSEA ministry, with balding and bulging tires. (These African roads are VERY hard on tires!) But this week, thanks to the generous gifts of friends like you, we were able to purchase brand new tires for our van. Apollo was overjoyed to think about the thousands of students that he will be able to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to, driving from school to school on new tires!
Thank you once again so much for all the prayer and support!  I only have one more week of ministry in schools.  So, we have scheduled a busy five days.  I plan to do like my football coaches used to tell me, and “leave it all on the field!”  Please continue to pray for peace in the area and God’s blessing as we minister during this upcoming week!

In Christ,
Steve Stockwell
