Uganda Journey of Compassion-Final Report

Steve Stewart's picture

The last several days were so full, I simply did not find the time to break away and write. Now that the Journey has finished, here are some highlights from the second week.

We conducted medical clinics, outdoor meetings, and distributed mosquito nets in two more villages. In Budibaga (where we first went last year), we saw the Lord heal many people. On our first outreach, just before I stepped through the crowd to begin preaching, the Lord told me that this night He was going to especially heal eyesight. I shared that and invited people with vision problems to come forward. In just a mater of a few minutes cataracts dissolved, blurry and near-sighted eyes instantly cleared up, and totally blind eyes opened. This in turn led to a great surge in faith among the people and so many came forward for healing and salvation.

After two days, we went to Kamusenene, a new village for Impact Nations. Once again, the team did a great job of seeing a lot of sick people in the clinic––in fact, the highest number of any of the clinics on this Journey. In the middle of the day, I went for a long walk with my translator. We were going from house to house, making sure that everyone in the village knew about the free medical clinic and the mosquito nets. As we climbed the long and steep hill back to the team, I saw a group of people in the distance, gathered under a tree. As I got closer, I realized that it was one of the young men on the Impact team. Artin was sharing the gospel with a group of teens and young men. As it turned out, these were the “bad group” in the village; Artin had been warned by passers-by not to waste his time on them. Gladly, he ignored the advice. After several minutes, this group of 15 or 20 gave their hearts to Christ. The day finished with a fantastic flag dance out in a field. More and more gathered around to watch; after a few moments, many of them joined in. Two team members preached, then the team prayed for those who wanted healing or salvation. It was a very special day.

On Friday, after the team de-brief, we all went back to Kalonga for a baptism. Two very full busses carried us, our translators and about 40 others to a swamp a few miles from Kalonga. There, all 40 were baptized, then prayed for by the team.

So what did we see the Lord do during our two weeks in Uganda?

-1,000 treated anti-malaria nets were distributed, providing protection for over 3,000 people in this, the country with the highest rate of malaria in the world. (Last year, over 77,000 children died from malaria.)

-Team members built two houses for widows and their children; materials for another house were purchased. So far, 19 homes have now been built.

-84 water filters were brought to Uganda. About 40 of these were installed; the rest will be installed over the next two weeks, providing permanent clean water for about 2,000 people.

-The second spring box became fully operational our second week. Now Kalonga residents no longer have to go to a muddy and unsafe water hole. The water now flows steadily and clearly.

-New chalkboards were provided for five more classes so that now all the teachers at Hope and Care will now have them.

-New textbooks were provided for three teachers at the school, so that they all have access to the daily lessons outlined by the Ugandan department of education.

-More children at Hope and Care school were sponsored during the Journey.

-Many, many hundreds of people were healed; hundreds more gave their lives to Christ.

The Lord once again did an amazing work in taking 29 people from 7 nations and in just a few days and making them into a great team––more than that, a true and tangible expression of the family of God.

I am already looking forward to our next Journey to Kalonga in January 2016.

In the book of Acts you discover the vibrancy of the early Church. The Holy Spirit descended upon them in Pentecost and filled them and the room in which they were seated. Empowered by the Holy Ghost, they immediatey won 3000 to the Lord. Miracles followed, many were healed, and the world was transformed by these anointed disciples. 

In the General Epistles we learn of the struggles the early Church faced, and the amazing teaching the Apostle Paul provided to keep them on track. You receive a glimpse into the heart of Paul as he passionately encourages his readers to know who they are in Christ and ascend into the heavenlies, where they are seated with Him in heavenly places, ruling and reigning. These books take you into the depths of Scriptural truth as revealed by the Holy Spirit. Pray for God to give you revelation knowledge in your heart and mind as you meditate on His Word (Eph. 1:17,18).
