In the remote valley of Habbanyuka, the Lord Jesus directed, empowered, blessed and provided the planting of Victory Baptist Church. It is HIS work, not mine. It is HIS Body, Congregation of assembly, HIS believers, baptized unto HIM for HIS Glory by the work of the Gospel.
This Church has now planted another work, serious, serving and surely sanctified, by the Lord Jehovah our salvation, even the God Amighty of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Jesus the Christ. The remote village of Nakampatu is the location of this new work in Christ.
Breyford Mwaanga, Pastor of Victory Baptist Church is training men to reach their world with the Gospel. One of those men is Given. He and his wife went thru a ruff patch 2 years ago. The wife was very ill, but they called on the LORD for help in time of need. Pastor Mwaanga and I went to visit them along with other members of Victory Baptist Church. We prayed with them, on several occations.
In the midst of Given and his wife's trial, their families pronounced a curse on them for rejecting traditional ancestral worship (familiar spirits) and for refusing to allow the darkness of witchcraft to be consulted. They stood firm that, live or die, they were serving Jesus Christ and trusting only HIM for any and all needs.
The wife is well, and Given is now preaching every Sunday at Nakampatu. Sunday 12 were Baptized, 4 from Habbanyuka and 8 from Nakampatu. And Jesus who is worthy, is receiving glory by the Gospel spreading across this remote area.
Stay tuned as these 2 works of Christ have been invited to come to an even more remote village. The people heard of the mighty work of God and sent messengers to plead that this same Gospel be brought to them.
If our slow internet will do so, I am downloading a short video of the baptism this past weekend.
Your loving servant of Jesus,
Phil
