DOOR-TO-DOOR EVANGELISM NDEJJE VILLAGE

Have You Found Where  fresh Waters are to Cast Your New Nets for a Big Catch? Mark 1: 17.

PREAMBLE:

We are grateful to the LORD for what He’s doing through us in this mission. We have reached out several persons and families during the course of the semester. We felt humbled at how people are so hungry and thirsty for the right word of God especially women who are exposed to all sorts of social mistreatment. They were neglected by their husbands. While some, relatives of the deceased have chased them away. These three families stand out for our concern indicated in this brief note. We have shared our hearts with them as they have also done the same.

Prior to this, I (Patrick) have been asking myself whether our effort in doing God’s work has made any impact at all in people’s lives. Yes, it has done tremendous impact especially into these three families we are to share with you in this short note.

Since my first year and in this year specifically, I (Patrick) have been looking forward to the opportunities God is bringing our way. Why going out to bring people to the kingdom then afterwards leave them? It is a question that has haunted me to think twice. It will be then wastage of time and energy if we went and shared with people the gospel not following them up. Thus, Patrick Mukisa and Roger Drati are envisioning starting a constant follow up and fellowship program starting with these three families.

MISSION SUMMARY:

Patrick Mukisa and Roger Drati have come together to see what God can do in people’s lives especially the new converts in Ndejje village. The village has got several Christian churches and mosques. The number of Muslims greatly outnumbers the Christians. The Christian churches have paid a deaf ear to God’s great commission to us, (Matthew 28:18-20), and the real concerns of the people in the village. It is a pleasure to share with you how God's been gracious with us to share his word with several families in this area. These families have accepted the LORD from Catholic and Muslim backgrounds but have testified of the LORD’s goodness in their lives. They need you to stand with in fellowship, and support them with reading materials, bibles and training on farming skills. This has of course many implications that we presume you are asking yourself but with God everything is possible, (Luke 18: 27).

OBJECTIVES AND GOALS:

1. To conduct and carry out effective follow up program, (Isaiah 61:1ff, Matthew 5: 13-14), to bring about healing to the lost through God’s word.
2. To conduct one on one fellowship with the New Converts, (Acts 4:32-35).
3. We envisage (who knows but God knows!) to carry out future ministry in the area and its neighborhoods, (Matthew 28:18-20, James 1: 26-27).
4. To promote sustainability and support the New Believers, (Psalms 9:18, 41:1-5).

STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES:

Ø  Conducting Bible studies with the New Converts.

Ø  Fellowshipping in evening especially on Sundays.

Ø  Help the these families ( especially the 2 single mothers) have a small income generating activity.

Ø  Praying and fasting for this mission.

Ø  Carrying out village survey about people's religious beliefs and livelihood.

ABOUT THE THREE FAMILIES:

Nalubega Harriet is the first lady we met in March 2012. She is a single mother who lost her husband some years back. She comes from a Catholic setting.  She caters for four children whom the relatives of the deceased chased her away with. Ronald, one of her sons, has a terrible sickness which they have tried in hospitals but in vain. One of Ronald’s feet is becoming shorter and shorter than the other. This has made this lady hopeless. The first day we shared, she exclaimed; “if really God loves me, then, why all these things?” She has to pay school fees and meet the basic needs and medication for other children besides Ronald. She works for people in their farms down in Lubowa valley to get a living. In fact one day she told us that she spend the whole day digging for people who in turn give her food.

Second is Maama Hajara. She confessed Jesus Christ as Lord and savior on 26^th, April 2012. She is also a single mother with five children. She comes from a Muslim background. She first got married to a Muslim with whom they produced four siblings. He neglected her with these little ones. She got another man who also left her with pregnancy. She produced and now on her own. One of her first born daughter is in Senior Three. The follower is in Primary Three. She claims that the latter was bewitched by the step mother from the first husband. Always at night he wakes up shouting that people are coming after him. This has declined his ability to learn. She shared with me (Patrick) that she wanted somebody to take him either to pray for him or stay with him. I convinced her to stay with her son meanwhile we are praying for him. This lady is really lives a hopeless life one can ever imagine.

Third, Martin is a young man almost beating his thirties. He faces trauma issues. His mother gave him to another man who was not his father. He discovered later on that this man was not his real father. He had to find his way out up to Rwanda where his old aged father is. He spoke to us in a low tone, “my father could not welcome me because he never thought that I still existed. Weak as he is sold all land which have been mine. If I was not given to another man, I would have been with property, but now I am a nuisance.” Surprisingly, his mother is Christian believer. So, Martin has hated church and God because of his mother. We shared with him and he accepted the gospel. We believe that in case a fellowship is started such persons will be assisted to grow in loving God than hating Him.

How would you feel if you got chance to talk to these families? You and I can stand in pray, visit, send us Bibles or other materials, and support them in any way.

Let God shower upon the land the former and latter rains Joel 2: 23-24.
