AFRICAN
RESTORATION MINISTRIES
UGANDA
In Mbale, Uganda, four people were
baptized. I baptized two sisters who have consistently been attending
the
meetings since the Church was taken to Uganda while Priest William* who
is in
charge of the Mbale group baptized two others. In August Seventy Ron
and I
visited Uganda and administered to a number of people. One particular
case
looked so bad at the time. A church member who knew of her case asked
that we
go to Robina’s house and administer to her. She told us that “she is a
widow
and was left behind with five children and has not gone to work for
many days.”
During our traveling together with Seventy Ron, our hearts were from
time to
time drawn to the case of that woman. She got well a few days after we
left
Uganda with Seventy Ron. This trip she attended the evening classes
that I
spoke at and insisted on feeding us lunch with Priest William everyday.
She is
a carterer at a fast food restaurant in town where we were fed lunch
with my
brother every day.
William arranged
for meetings every evening
after people have come from work, and others during daytime. Again this
time I
administered to more people at one sitting than I have ever done. At
one place
where we had been invited to speak in William’s friend’s church the
entire
congregation came forth to be administered to. Mothers were pushing
their
children to come forth and be administered to. Women came forth and
confessed
to illnesses associated with STDs and asking for healing from the Lord,
a young
lady who was born with retardation came forth asking for healing from
the Lord.
It was a painful experience for me, as I literally stepped into the
position
the Master left for the ministers of his gospel. Yet it was an
experience that
left me praying over and over for the Lord to take over from me.
