GOSPEL CRUSADE IN KATUNA-KABALE

HUNDREDS COME TO JESUS DURING THE KATUNA CRUSADE.

Last Sunday, the people in Katuna-Kabale were excited to know that we were taking a Gospel crusade to their village.
This village is popularly known for brewing and drinking alcohol on top of witchcraft. This has left the village devastated with poverty. Old men every where could be seen with jiggers and in rugs. Children cannot afford to go to school, women cannot feed their children. All because the little hard earned money is spent on alcohol. Witchcraft has reduced this village to fear, sickness and disease. People are so hungry for the gospel, they needed help.
When news reached these people that we are taking a gospel crusade to this village, it was received with great excitement.
After the Sunday service we hired a track and headed for Katuna. We were received with a lot of joy and excitement. People sung praises to God!
Every time the choir would begin to sing praise and worship, every body would join in with shouts and dancing to the praise of the almighty God!
Jackline Tumuhimbise who was leading the program then called for people with testimonies. One after the other people came forward to talk about the good things God has done for them. Many people testifies that after receiving Christ, their lives never remained the same, many were healed from different diseases and sickness. Others were delivered from powers of darkness. Many people who used to drink alcohol and practice witchcraft were delivered by the power of Jesus! This motivated others to give salvation a try.
By the time i was invited to preach the word, many people were ready to accept the free gift of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ for eternal life.
When i made an alter call, around 100 people came forward to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior! Many confessed that they were bound by witchcraft and alcohol but now had denounced it in the name of Jesus and promised to serve Jesus by telling their friends and relatives the good thing God had done for them.
Friends keep these people in prayer so that they will be strong disciples of Jesus and help to transform their community.

P.7 STUDENTS PERFORM WELL

A few weeks ago when the Primary seven results from Primary Leaving Examinations came, our students had performed very well and all our students are going to join high school this year.
"this church has changed the history of our community" said one local council leader. Our community has a back ground of children failing to pass exams and every body knew it was hard for children in our community to join high school. This was basically because most children in our community are orphans or from very poor families and cannot afford school fees. Therefore they are always chased from school and hence don't concentrate on studies. Also children spend days without food, with too much suffering, the children don't concentrate on education and normally children drop out of school so early.
We thank God ever since we started programs that help pay school fees and feed children, there has been a big improvement!
Last year we had seven students who sat for Primary Seven examinations: Abraham Taremwa, Prossy Komuhangi, Andrew Niwamanya, Moses Kamagara, Pamella Orishaba, Catherine Mucunguzi and Safari Arineitwe.
Abraham was the best and he came in division one!
They are all joining high school in Senior One according to the education system of our country. In our country education begins with Nursery when a child is 3 years and at 6 years he joins Primary one for seven years. Then joins high school for 6 years and finally college/university for two or three years depending on the course.
Thank you all our friends who have supported us to help these children. Special thanks go to their sponsors:
Daryl and Dee Dutter, Danielle and Scott McGhee, Denise and Mike McBroom, Jessica and William Collins, Herman Becker, Anita Lankford and Gail Schimidt (respectively)
You have made a big difference in the lives of these children. They look forward to be great people in future.

CHILDREN SPONSORSHIP KIDS RETURN TO SCHOOL FOR TERM ONE 2011

Last week was so exciting for our children as they returned to school after the Christmas break. Many children had lots of stories to tell from their holiday experience, as they returned to school. Most of the children said the Christmas holiday is the best they normally have. To many the most interesting part was Christmas! Children were still talking about the Christmas dinner they had with us at our house! Thank you all our friends who contributed to make our dream come true!

Many children were also excited for the gifts they received from their sponsors; they were happy to buy new shoes and clothes! These gifts mean much to children. We are grateful to all sponsors who sent gifts to their children.

Our children were glad to go back to school. Most of our children performed very well and were promoted to higher classes, so the children were especially happy to join new classes. Our children love school so much. They know their future is in their education.

The new children were the most excited as they joined school. To them it was a dream come true. Some had lost hope of going to school as they saw other children go to school but their mothers and relatives could not afford to pay for their schooling. We are grateful for all our friends who signed up to sponsor children. They were very excited as our staff bought for them school uniform and took them to school. It gives so much joy to a child in our community to go to school.

Thank you all our dear friends for making a difference in our community by taking our children to school one child at a time!

One of the ways to transform this community is to equip these children as future leaders to make an impact in our community, and the main way to do it is by educating them.

Children with no formal education are reduced to beggars, street children, prostitutes, drug addicts and thieves with no hope in life.

Educated children on the other hand, are able to get a job and earn a living and take care of their siblings.

Education develops the mind of a child to handle different challenges and be successful and effective in life.

It is therefore important to educate a child in Uganda. Revival Outreach Ministries offers such hope for orphans and poor children in Uganda to go to school.

$35 a month is enough to make a dramatic change in the life of a precious child.

This money pays for school tuition, buys school uniform and shoes once every year, meets medical fees and buys lunch for the child.
