In July, I had the privilege to meet and visit the ten church planters that our church-planting initiative funds in Uganda and Kenya. Africa is a challenging cultural shift for me, and I gained respect for those who minister in this environment. These planters are doing a wonderful job - we saw people come to Christ and follow in believer’s baptism. Â

STREET YOUTH SAVED
David is from our church and found a special burden for street youth - ones that the local churches did not even see, because they were envisioned as untouchable. Five gave their hearts to Christ, attend church weekly and have brought more friends since our visit - all of these young men attend weekly discipleship classes.
Â
BAPTISM
Christoph witnessed to his work colleague, who found that the claims of Christ answered the questions his soul was seeking. Benjamin chose to follow Christ and repent from his sin. He asked Christoph to baptize him and he was baptized while David and I were in Uganda. I meet with Benjamin and others every Thursday to discover their next steps in faith.
