A couple of weeks ago I was asked if I would co-teach, with a friend, a session on "Hearing God's voice through Scripture" at a Church retreat. This is not our home church but an International church in Kampala. It was a bit daunting at the first thought of it but I agreed to do it. The event will happen this coming Saturday. They are having a weekend long retreat but I will just go on the Saturday. Please pray for this event that God would challenge the ladies in their spiritual lives and that they would be encouraged through what is shared. Pray for Marieke and I as we lead this specific session that God would give us what we need to communicate well and be an encouragement to those that attend. There will be around 60 ladies in attendance so not just a wee Bible study group :)
Another friend contacted me today to say that the Scripture Union club that we are offering to teach again this term is already full with children. There is more children signing up than we can cater for. Pray for each of the children who have signed up that they would get to know Jesus through what is taught and shared. May their lives be changed forever by hearing the truth of God's Word. Pray for JulieAnne and I as we teach that we would communicate well and be an clear channel for the Lord. This is so exciting to see so many children enthused by this club. It is definitely an answer to prayer!
As many of you know I have been teaching three Bible studies for a while now. Unfortuntately one of my teammates is returning to her home country. That is the downside of living overseas; good friends come and go :( So, because of this, I needed someone to replace her but I had no idea who it could be. I did approach one friend who is going to let me know in about a months time when her schedule is more sure. However, I did need someone to team teach with the Thursday one. I just had confirmation today that a friend and also a colleague is happy to join the team. This is a huge answer to prayer and I look forward to where God will take us in all of this. The whole team (4 of us at the moment) will be meeting tomorrow to plan for September and also for the one on Thursday that starts a new session in two weeks.. Pray that God will lead us clearly as we look at how to take these groups forward. We need an additional person gifted in music to join us. Pray that God will work that out.
In the last couple of weeks the Church leadership at Freedom Kampala (our home church in Uganda) asked if I would get involved in a response team. This involves praying with people who respond in Church services or who need further assistance. Just yesterday they asked if I would lead one of the teams. This is all in the beginning stages so how it all looks in reality I am not sure yet. Simon has also been asked to head the production team in some way, however, this is still unclear as to how it all looks also as he has not started yet. We are enjoying being part of this church and look forward to helping where we can.
