Every mission is different from the last. On the second week of September, we set out yet again for another mission in Oyam, Northern Uganda. This is not a mission we had planned for but God had. Here is how it happened:
While we were in another mission in Oyam, we got a call from a pastor who had organized a mission in a refugee camp in Adjumani District near Gulu city. Unfortunately, there was some kind of disturbance in the refugee camp and the visitors would not be allowed into the camp; they had already paid for their flight tickets so they were coming but they needed somewhere else to minister. Pastor Godfrey picked this up as God’s timing and we immediately started organizing for this mission that was to be in a week’s time. The missioners from Kenya who had come for the mission that we were currently in decided to put off their travels and travel after the urgent mission. This was indeed a privilege. This was also the first time for us as ABC Missions to partner with another team.
The mission began on a high note as both our team and the team from the US were in the mission ground on the first day and then we began laboring in the vineyard. We were essentially three groups; the local team, the team from the US and the ABC Missions team. The mission was simply amazing and the cooperation between the three groups of people who had not met before was definitely by God’s grace.
We used our normal model of whole day door-to-door evangelism but this time we introduced the Jesus Film in the local language of the people. We showed this movie in three different places and the response was overwhelming. Many people received the Lord as a result of Jesus Film. Also, like the Luuka mission, we also baptized the people that had accepted Christ by immersion in water
Many testimonies have emerged and even now continue to emerge as a result of God working in us in the vineyard. There was a woman who had been fully blind for many years but she received her sight. Other people were bound by the enemy but they are now on their feet serving the Lord. Indeed, whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
The mission had its share of challenges — which the Lord worked out for good. For example, some of the missioners from Nairobi became ill in the mission but at the end of the mission, they were glorifying God for his tender mercies.
We reached over 3141 people with the saving gospel of Jesus Christ.
178 people received their healings, deliverance, and miracles.
607 people accepted the Lord Jesus into their hearts.
Glory to God in the highest!!!!
