islands!

ok we made it to MOMBASA! after a 27 hour bus ride across africa we made it here safely. thanks everyone for your prayers it was much appreciated. God has done very much over the last week on the islands. i would say 100-200+ got savd! many also got healed! 2 lame walk. and other very cool miracles. we worked very hard but the product of it was that many were impacted. one healing was a man with a really bad tooth ache. he had a large open wound in his mouth that jbell saw. they prayed and a while later he came back and they looked in his mouth and jbell said it looked like someone actually stitched the inside of his mouth closed. and it looked all cleaned up. but none of us had done anything but prayed. we did the underoath skit several times and did a fun traditional ugandan bumshakin dance for the crowds. it helped to bring the crowds in. then we would give a testimony and sermon of the gospel. the one girl was sitting in the church when we went there. we prayed for a while with her. then we saw her later and prayed again. she had holes in her legs and they didnt work and they didnt even extend straight. one of the pastors we were with told us he saw her walking later on after we left!

we went to a prison where about 20+ people accepted Christ. all but one or two in the whole prison population! it was really cool. this happened several times throughout the week! we also went to the hospital and did bed to bed evangelism and healing. that was really cool. many accepted Jesus/

keep us in your prayers as we do some more ministry this week and wind down from the intense last week we had. peace out>>> AFRICA!

Uganda MAINLAND!

Uganda has been great so far! We have been so blessed to have real showers, bathrooms, and food. We have really enjoyed tasting “real life” again. So far while we have been here we have done mnstry at several primary schools in which we had the children act out Bbl stories. We did david (some little kid from the school) and Goliath (Jbell) and couple other stories. We have been really encoraged by the wrshp of all the children. It is really amazing to hear. We went to a childrens prison also. It was really hard to see and hear that they haven’t eaten for 2 weeks, and they get put in jail cells. Gd showed up and about 20+ pryd the pryr of Slvation. Prs GD! We were able to go to a couple small groups while we have been here. We have been encoraged and been able to encorage the people we met with. We are excited as we leave today for the islands of Lake Victoria. We are sleeping in tents and eating fish for a week. But while we are there we will be prechn the gspel to the people of the islands and pryn for them. We are doin ev. Crsades for which we have put out flyers on the islands so many people will show up. We will also work with the children while we are there. We are expecting Gd to show up in a huge way. We will be pryn for heling, dliverence, slvation. Please pry that Gd moves in powerful ways on the islands and protection for us in many different ways. We want to see GD move!

We have been doing great over the last week. God has been working through us in such a big way. We have gone back to some of the same highschools and done some ministry there with the girls. The girls beat us in soccer, but they weren’t counting half of our goals because they were too high for them too reach. We were able to go to a place where people with aids come to help each other and support each other. We were really blessed by all of them and their stories on how they have relied on Jesus and how he brings them comfort in life. We went and visited the orphanage again and loved on them for a while. Walking through town the other day briana and getcha prayed for a guy and released him of “demons” he had. We did the underoath skit at a gathering this Sunday. We also shared with about 100+ young adults about how G is enough for us, how He is our superior pleasure. Then we went totally unprepared to try to lead the sunday school. All the kids from Gretchen and Gibbs’ class kept sneaking over to cole and Jbell’s class because it was more exciting and entertaining. We also went to a deaf school and served them by cleaning around the school and cole gave one of the kids his ipod. We went to another school and weren’t told we had to entertain about 200+ little kids for a couple hours. We have funny videos of the failed relay races that ended up in every kid doing the wheelbarrow at the same time and what was meant to take up some time, ended in about 45 seconds. We climbed a mountain nearby and hung out on the top of it prd for a while. They have a fred flinstone weight set here at the base that is made out of rocks with holes drilled through them for the bar to go through. We used it once…

We snuck into the Hilton hotel in Nairobi and went into the pool, got caught, and had to pay the pool attendant. We finally got some fast food, something other than ugali, and then we went dancing at a place that one of the base staff took us to, but we were the only ones dancing.
The four guys went to THE CARNIVORE restaurant and ate meat for 4 hours. We had ostrich meatballs, all kinds of pork, beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and a few others. It was an amazing relief from eating beans and rice. We are still full.
We are sad that we are leaving the base here in Kenya, but excited to go to Uganda and somewhere new.


Please p for us to get rest over the next few days, and safety on our bus trip to Uganda. Also p for catie as she has not been feeling good.

We have arrived in Uganda and are staying at an American couple’s house. They do “plead the cause Uganda” we will do ministry on the mainland for a week then go out to the islands and do ministry there for the next week. We are glad to have real showers, internet, toilets, and real food close by. Our drive across Kenya to Uganda went alright, except an unexpected stop at the customs place where a passenger’s belongings (about 10 boxes full of stuff) were taken for some unknown reason. We will be staying at this house for about a week then camping out on the islands of lake Victoria for a week. Please pray for God to continue to lead us and work through us.
