What a trip!  While we were in Uganda, we got to see the Gospel!  We often HEAR the Gospel here in North America, but we got to SEE the Gospel. We met with a cell group where we saw:

• A woman testify how God’s love expressed through the cell group led to her recovery from her AIDS-related death-bed!
• A woman who had lost her family to the war in the Congo, tell how the cell group lovingly welcomed her so that she was no longer alone.
• A young boy who had gone blind due to malaria restored to health and sight (running around the room like any active young boy!).
• A young man who had lost hope … tell how the members of the group had so loved him that he now has hope in Christ and is studying to become a doctor.
• A Muslim-dominated area being transformed by the love of Jesus lived through these African saints. In 2 years, they have led 23 women to faith in Jesus and given birth to 11 new cell groups!

Many people have heard of the Watoto Children’s Choir from KPC Church in Kampala and they (and the whole Watoto Children’s Ministry) are amazing. But I was even more impressed with the way that their cell groups are reaching out to families ravaged by HIV/AIDS. They are the kind of Church in Africa that is busy making a difference – and the kind of Church that we want to partner with. I don’t know how many Churches in Africa are like KPC, but there are others.

These Churches are engaged. On fire. And they are ready for North American Churches to come alongside them – to partner with them – to pour gas on their already existing fires!

Are you interested? Want to help? Great – We’re here to help you! While we were at the Watoto Conference, we (CT) were part of a breakout conference about Networking/Partnership. Gary Skinner and the leaders of KPC/Watoto know that the HIV/AIDS pandemic that has killed millions and left millions of orphans behind is FAR TOO BIG FOR ANY ONE OF US TO FIGHT ALONE! The Church must work together! The one Church … on the 2 continents (Africa & NA) … must come together to fight HIV/AIDS. And CT exists to coach you through that process of connecting with great African Churches.

Let’s work together so that we can SEE the GOSPEL transform lives and communities in Africa as well as here in North America!
