This morning we opened Ukunda Missions Church here at the school. It seems kind of strange. 25 years ago we came here and tried to open a church. We arrived with no money, not even a shilling or a return bus ticket. The first night we had no idea where we could sleep. Finally, as darkness set in, someone gave us a room. We preached the gospel for several weeks, and saw God touch many lives. But no matter how hard we worked, the church never took off.
Now, 25 years later, we were not trying to start a church, but one has started anyway. Many people are turning to the Lord, and it has become necessary to start a church in the area. So this week, we decided to officially launch Ukunda Missions Church. This morning, there were about 60 people or so in attendance as we opened the church. Last week, John Harris prophesied that there would be a church in Ukunda of not less than 2500 people, so we still have a long way to go.
This woman attended church for the first time this morning. She was powerfully touched by the Lord, and determined to give her heart to the Lord. After the meeting, she insisted that we go with her to her home to help her destroy her business. She was brewing a form of illegal alcohol, and felt convicted that she needed to destroy all of it. Nobody mentioned this or asked her to do this, she was just absolutely convinced that she needed to do it.
