From Pastor Patrick... Loss of Rose
With regret I and Imelda are informing you that Rose Makwetta one of Aglow National Board- Uganda members went to be with the Lord on 18th Jan 2009. She was found unconscious in the morning of the 17th Jan 2009 after going to bed the previous evening not complaining of anything. She was buried on the 19th Jan 2009. We were very shocked because Rose was one of our best friends to us. May the good Lord rest her soul in eternal peace.
Pastor Patrick
Please pass this message to the Aglow Trans Team. We have not communicated to the them. Our computer has broken down. It is old. We are praying for another.

Highlights from Uganda by Holly Lambert

Highlights from Uganda.

Uganda. We found Uganda to be wonderful place, beautiful countryside, small villages and congested busy Kampala City. This country is on the list of poorest nations in the world. We fell in love with the people there. Before leaving I noted the almost non existence of information on Uganda compared to the usual plethora of information carried at our library on various countries I did find information on seeing Gorillas, one or two travel books of course mentioning the big game animals and a DVD movie called "The Last Scotsman", a few Cd's on African music. The cultural divide between the US, which the people call America, and Uganda is like comparing day with night. Although the people of Uganda, if they go to school learn English, but it's British English. Despite this wide divide God knit our hearts to Uganda. Our mission team felt the call go into the world making disciples of all nations in the name of Christ. One of the best things we brought with us was hope but this did not diminish the importance of daily miracles we saw. Hope is a very strong foundation in which to build our mission teams faith, and the faith of the Uganda people. Just our very presence brought the people of Uganda hope. I noticed this presence of hope everywhere we went to minister we were held in high regard. Our total mission was focus on ministry which did not leave time to see the large game animals or the gorillas. It was a very busy schedule, the best way I can describe our schedule was some kind of time warp in which you might say how could that mission team done so much.

Because of the intensity
of the mission let me just share a few times of ministry that have stuck in my mind besides the visiting children at schools and orphanages where our hearts were stolen by the children singing. We all loved the Ugandan singing and dancing.


Elise, Phyllis and I had just finished ministering to a school which was near to the Uganda style hotel we were staying in. We prayed for each child in the school that was over 75 children plus the teachers could not seem to resist our prayers also. No doubt the ministry conference would be mentioning that we were on another mission as our leader Fran Hallgren was the main teacher of the conference talked about leadership to the Uganda ministers and church leaders from the village of Kyenjojo. The ministers were from different denominations. As we left the school in the van we traveled on the muddy road full of pot holes some which seemed could swallow a mountain at times. Suddenly up head the Uganda Driver part of Pastor Godfrey's mission team said there was a lady up ahead who want us to pray.
We are going to stop, good I thought but the first thing that went through my head was well we can't pray for everyone, but as I saw her sitting on the ground dirty clothes I was eager to pray. We jumped out of the van to pray. She lived in what we would call less than a shack, as I approached her I saw her sitting in the dirt. Of course she was wearing a dress as most all of the Uganda women do. I noticed wooden leg- a crude wooden leg she looked old and tired. Phyllis was on her left and while I was talking to her Phyllis reached down and took her pulse. I want to know a little bit more about her before we prayed.

I began talking to her, I ask her if she was a Christian, if she had Jesus in heart. I just talked to her a little while when I could tell by her movements and her distracted look she was in tremendous amount of pain. She had the urgency look in her eyes please pray right away it was a look of desperation. Phyllis and I prayed for healing in the name of Jesus Christ. I don't remember exactly what we prayed as we laid our hands on her but I do know we prayed in faith knowing Christ would answer. Yes and the Lord did, Phyllis looked into the eyes of the woman and asked how do you feel now? All of the sudden the biggest smile came
on the face of the woman her eyes lit up. She said yes the pain has stopped. It was obvious something had happened to this woman. When we were back at the hotel Phyllis
the intensive care nurse, said to me, I think she was having a heart attack her pulse rate was very irregular. We both reflected how immediately the pain had left this woman sitting on side of the road. We gave praise to God Almighty for his healing power.


On another ministry trip I agreed to go to a jail for ministry along with Robin and Judy. We started out with some Uganda ministers one who had ministered to this very jail we were going to. We met so many minister on our mission trip it was hard to keep all their names straight. The ministers always seem excited to accompany us. We went in expectation most of the time. On this trip it was a distance away from were we were staying probably the farthest we traveled on a ministry excursion from the hotel in Kyenjojo. I wondered is how in the world did they figure out where they were going there were no road signs. We started out on one of the few paved road in Uganda but then found our way on to the dirt pot hole roads, then turned on another dirt road and another. You can almost never expect an Uganda road to be smooth even if it was a main through fare. Some of the roads we traveled on were not much more than two tire tracks. Many of of the Uganda people do not care what the roads are like after all they always walk. At times we saw groups children in colorful uniforms walking or running- many barefoot going home from school.

As we finally approached the jail we stopped and had a time of prayer. The head jailer was not pleased with our arrival because we had not made plans ahead of time to visit. Never the less he allowed us to talk to the men in the jail the women prisoners were also sitting on the side. There were about 25 men in this walled and gated jail. About 7 women also were seated outside. Judy was what I called an expert in jail ministry because she had participated in a jail ministry for quite a few years.

Judy gave a testimony of what Christ had done in her life.
I gave a salvation message. The men responded they heard the message of Christ's forgiveness. They bowed their head and prayed that Christ would enter their lives.
It was a powerful time we saw hardened prisoner's with new expressions on their face.
We ended in praying for all the prisoners individually. All but two of the men agreed to invite Christ into their heart. I am sure it was the first time for many to receive Christ forgiveness experience Christ's love. It was a wonderful time. Robin prayed many beautiful prayers over the women prisoners. Thanks be to God for the wonderful mission trip we had. We could feel the prayers of the people praying for us.

From Our Mission Pastor Saazi Mwesige Godfrey

My picture of the year...


When no one is there to encourage you do it yourself. As I went through some of our ministry pictures for this year, the Lord gave me a message as I looked at this picture. We were doing ministry in the Acholi land where the Lords Resistance Army rebels had spent over 17 years fighting the Ugandan government. Our van broke down we were worn out because we had worked in the IDP camps for 9 days. In this region the language is one of the most difficult to speak or understand, communication was a problem.

My team members decided to go to the near by village to look for something to eat, the nearest trading center was about 5 miles away from us, I stayed behind with John our driver, after 3 hours our members were not coming back. I was exhausted from riding our bicycle where the van could not go. Now the van was broken down, there was no hope of finding parts needed for repair. The money for buying parts was not even there if the parts were to be found. Everyone was asking me as a leader, what do think? What are we going to do? Are we safe here? Is there any hope of getting away from here?
When everything turns against you turn to the Lord.

This reminded me of another instance about two years ago, working with a team from SPAN; we were doing crusades in the villages of Kyangwali Hoima district. It was a rainy season, right when we picked up the microphone to preach, a heavy down pour came, we braved the rain and a few people gave their lives to Christ. The rain did not stop; we boarded our van to drive back to a small town where we stayed. On the way our van got stuck in a small river where the small bridge had been washed away by the rain, we tried all we could, people from the village came to help, but we could not get the van out the mud, this exercise took us over 5 hours, we were giving up. The leader of the Span team Dennis, encouraged himself and his team to start on walking the more than 10 kilometers, it was dark and muddy walking through bushes and forest, by the time we got home it was 6 in the morning. When every thing turns against us we need to trust God for direction.

Reflecting upon all this the Lord said to me you are the leader, encourage yourself, decide on the way forward. I was reminded of how David after winning great victories had come home, only to find that every thing in the camp was destroyed even, the families taken by the enemy. Everyone in the camp was crying, and all people turned against him. The Bible says in I Samuel 30:6, “… But David strengthened himself in the Lord His God.” after all David’s tears, he inquired of God and He gave him direction to pursue the enemy. Through the Lord’s help David and his army brought home their possessions, recovering everything the enemy had stolen.
Never despair, God will always make a way out for you.

God brought a truck coming from Southern Sudan, which helped to tow us to Gulu a town, where we could get help.

I pray the message will bring hope to you in your times of trouble.

God bless you.

A Uganda Mission Report by Holly Lambert

Fran Hallgren and Translator Uganda Teacher speak to children telling them about God's love for them in Kampala.

Kyenjojo Radio Station

(Pastors and Robin)

Thank God for this Wonderful Mission to Ugnada

by Holly Lambert

The first thing I have to say is go to Uganda, as I told the radio audience of Kyenjojo. I would recommend travel to Uganda, which some know as the Gem of Africa. It is a beautiful land with friendly people who love to see smiles. The radio audience I am told was 1.5 million. Robin Bachini and I were accompanied by three Kynenjojo ministers and our Uganda Mission Director, the ever dedicated Pastor Saazi Godfrey head of Grace Out Reach Ministries. At the radio station, KDR 96.7 FM we were allowed to give testimony- (Robin), pray for individual calling into radio show- (Robin and Holly), and tell about Aglow International Ministry- (Holly). The report back was: listeners were calling back for long time after we the station with testimonies of how God healed them physically and testimony of answered prayer, then also more prayer requests. Our visit to the radio station, opened doors so much so that the radio station was willing to give the Kyenjojo ministers the lowest possible cost a radio show slot twice a week. Pastor Godfrey claims this victory a miracle. In my opinion, it was just a taste of the many miracles we saw. After a week of ministry in the Kyenjojo, the area the ministers asked, (almost demanded) to have the team come back next year. Oddly enough, the Kyenjojo area was chosen in part because it was the beginning of the rainy season. It was felt that there would be better weather conditions for the team. The area ministers (various denominations) had never been gathered in any kind of joint mission or conference. Our mission was going to schools, jails, a hospital and a crusade and the conference was attendance by 427 attendees who were to be church leaders and pastors. And yes we fed the Church leaders a balanced meal each day which was large and enjoyed, as one church leaders told me. Food in Uganda is generally not a problem but getting a balanced diet is, but as of today, I received e-mail from Uganda stating getting food now in Uganda may be a problem because of recent floods. The poverty and need of help in Uganda is overwhelming.


The Uganda people need you your visit; in person help their economy, in prayer- to besiege God's grace to fall upon them, in giving- to help orphaned children many who at times have lacked food.

Uganda is not just a beautiful land to visit. It has people who you will fall in love with and sights and experience that cannot be explained in a travel book. The people there cry out for help in silence. They will hide their needs from you, or in the next moment be oblivious of the total different world you come from. Some how your presence brings them hope; as if the prosperity you have will fall upon them or that God above has not forgotten them. The people in their hearts carry a genuine feeling of hospitality. At a more practical level, your visit will provide them with funds as we paid to stay in their homes.

The best thing about our Uganda visit was being a bringer of the light. We carried the Gospel of Jesus Christ where ever we went. Our first week November 1-7 was with Pastor Godfrey. It was challenging week because of being immersing in a new culture; but the excitement of the mission, loving hearts of the ladies on our team, the sincere genuineness of the Pastors we met, and Fran Hallgren, our Aglow Transformation leader, helped us get through.

It was long trip to arrive at the airport in Entebbe, Uganda. At the point of exhaustion, we were met by Grace Out Reach ministry team who lovingly took on our need of transportation, carrying our luggage, arranging of lodging. They did this by faith that we were going to be ministering to Uganda in a special way. We were entrusted to carry God’s message with us. Through God’s grace, God choosing us to go forth In Christ’s name we fulfilled our mission. Our schedule was a full one. From morning till evening our team was speaking at the Pastors Conference, then with short break we off to the Crusade. In the evening at the Crusade, we gave messages of greetings, testimony of how Christ changed our lives, a message of evangelism; to give a chance for those attending to ask Christ to come into their heart.

The Uganda people were listening carefully, I observed that the Uganda women were not as free to follow as many different occupations. I mentioned in my greeting that I was a female firefighter, and they probably had not met a female firefighter. They took it as challenge, it came back to me that somewhere in Uganda they did indeed have a female firefighter.

The crusades had great results, the crusade manager reported, that over 370 people gave their lives to Christ. After the evangelist message anyone who desired could line up for prayer. All of our team prayed for each person in line by laying hand on a shoulder of the person; this could be 20- 25 people maybe more (adults and children). We used interpreter for our messages and in the prayer lines. In the prayer lines, many were touched by God, while some felt God’s presence for the first time, others were healed of physical ailments. Because of the multitude of people we were encouraged to pray for each person only a short time. As we were praying, people would get on the stage, who had just been touched by God- saying I am healed or I don’t have any more pain. They would explain the to the audience what God had just done.

On this trip we prayed for many many people. I remember praying for a man who said he could not hear well, after the prayer, we usually say how do you feel now or how is it now? The man nodded his head, yes, I can hear from that ear. Never doubt the power of God. God’s presence was there that night to heal. Praying for your prayer line was not always easy, the first night I had two ladies so unkept that smell drove me away, I could not get close to pray, it was very disturbing to me that they came forward, but I could not get close enough to lay my hand on them to pray. That same night I prayed for at least 2 aids patients and many sick people.

Our team split into at least two team durning the when the Pastors Conference (also know as the Pastor Fellowship) was going on. Often the minister would say the team is now at a school ministering to the children, or at a jail or somewhere else. That week during the conference everyday we out in mission work as some of our team minister to the church leaders. We visited schools, jails, a hospital and the radio station twice.

There were many schools, both church schools, public schools, I saw no lack of schools, but a lack of what we would call a traditional school. From our view Schools were without books or libraries, most we saw had a dirt floor, and opening in a wall for windows, many had roofs with holes in them. No play ground equipment, no athletic fields, no supply of paper in the closet, no musical instruments, no reference books or computers, many no electricity. The schools would have what they called books, which was sort of a notebook in which an amazing amount of learning would take place. Their teachers and the notebooks would prepare them to take nationalize exams to pass to the next grade. Much of the students learning is in oral fashion, so it was natural for them to sing to us. We heard many songs and all of them stole our hearts. Every student we met took Uganda National. They took the tests very seriously. It seemed we pray for extraordinary amount of students. I would say, over 90% of students requested prayer for wisdom, or prayer to pass their exams. Students were polite and followed teachers instructions. At the schools we prayed for teachers and some pastors whose ministries helped fund and run the schools.

It was humbling to us to see teachers, pastors, as their tradition called for, kneel out of respect before us, as we prayed. We laid our hands on them and prayed how ever the Holy Spirit led. This kneeling was usually on a mat but sometimes just on the dirt floor. It was such special times. God just seemed to invade the area as we prayed.

At the schools, we shared the gospel usually through a cube which tells of the good news of Christ, it’s called an evange-cube. It was very effective everywhere we went, but we also made necklaces which shared Christ, and told puppet Bible stories. One of the first schools we went to, the teacher said she had been praying for us to come for years. There are many very sincere Christians who wanted God’s touch from someone who was daring enough to cross the ocean, get out of their comfort zone, and pray a prayer believing God would speak and answer. Again it was humbling, for me to hear her say, she would indeed keep praying for us.

On the jail visit I saw hardened hearts be changed instantly as the love and forgiveness of Christ flowed into them. On this mission I was bless to give a salvation message.


In the morning our Aglow Transformation team would gather at the Kyenjojo Hotel for a devotion. Most morning we would take communion with the pre-package communion sets some 500 sets 2 boxes I stuffed in my weight limited suitcases. I tried to take as many things as possible to give to the Uganda people. I got so carried away that I decided I could indeed wear 10 bright colored t-shirts under my suit jacket to give away to some of the poorest people in the world- Uganda people. My t-shirt idea actually worked very well, until the very last flight I mentioned it to a team member and then it was, hey do you believe what she did? Our team gave away many children’s vitamins, Bibles, clothes, shoes, gifts to Pastors what ever we could carry. The pre-packaged communion sets seemed to set the Pastors Conference at a different level when Pastors from different denominations came together it was a memorable moment. I was also able to bring Bibles to give away from our Church Bible ministry. Our ministry hopes to send more Bible to Uganda in the future.

With sadness we left the ministry with Pastor Godfrey and started another exciting week. Our second week with Imelda Bwayo who is the National President of Aglow International in Uganda. Our 10 women team split into 3 teams. My team went to Entebbe, where we stayed in a pastors home, and his neighbor who was a member of the church. Pastor Moses and his wife Martha were wonderful people they completely trusted us to do ministry in their church. They kept us very busy, two Aglow meetings, two Sunday school classes, 3 Sunday Church services, Orphanage visit and ministry to a Pastors group in a three day period. Our team Donna, Phyllis, and I heard testimony of how women lives were forever changed from women of hopelessness to women encouraged, confident, freed in love and power of Christ. The Aglow meetings have provided quite a transformation for them. The Lord graced us with the opportunity of being there at moment when new chapters of Aglow were being formed allowing us speaking at the meetings, pray for attendees and advise newly formed Aglow Chapters (which we call Aglow Lighthouse).

At the Aglow meeting in Uganda as at home we emphasized evangelism, prayer, hearing God’s voice, baptism in the Holy Spirit and many were set free just as when Jesus was preached. Aglow encourages the spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 and 2 Timothy 1:6 as a way to encourage Christians to use the gifts they have, empower them in Christian ministry and to pray in the Holy Spirit as the Lord leads: praying in a heavenly language of tongues.

From Entebbe we went on to the home town of Imelda Bwayo Mbale, where we continued in ministry to a new Aglow group. Our whole team took a morning off to go on a prayer journey to Wanale Summit, a beautiful mountain top then ministered to an Orphanage. While I was in Mbale, Phyllis and I stayed with another Pastor, Pastor Luke. He was very hospitable and a good cook. The many Pastors we met noticed that by grace of the Lord Jesus Christ our Aglow Transformation team came in power, an organization make up of all sorts of Christian denominations with many leading members claiming the status of lay leaders. Aglow started as a women’s movement in the United States to empower the gospel to go forth through women. Now it has entered the world, even men are eager to taken up it’s cause. Aglow International, as I saw first hand, is taking off in Uganda like wild fire.

Thanks go to Pastor Imelda, who was in charge of our second week. We saw so many wonderful thing the Lord was doing in Uganda.
Our whole mission team enjoyed our mission trip so much, even though we had many challenges. Thanks be to God, many people were ministered to.
Thanks be to God for this outreach to Uganda, thanks to the people who supported it.
Holly Lambert

Pastor Godfrey -Grace Out Reach Ministry

Pastor Godfrey

Here is report from Pastor Godfrey…..
Hello Fran,
I thought that this can be of encouragement to the headquarter and the team members to know how God used them.Our conference in Kyenjojo was the first to bring together that big number of church leaders in the district, the registration shows that we had 427 church leaders who attended. One of the most significant things about the teaching was that, every one of the women brought the teachings that were needed by the leaders.
After the conference one pastor went home repented before the congregations, of the rift that was between him and his elders, the whole church was in tears, there was God’s presence and repentance from the whole church. This has caused great revival in this church. I got a call from this pastor telling me that, in two years no new member had joined them. But since the end of this conference 13 people have joined them. The conference did not only bring deliverance to the pastor, but the whole church was freed from bondage Praise God. The spirit of strife had bound the church.The crusades had great results. The guy who worked as crusade manager gave a report that over 370 people gave their live to Christ. As you know we had a problem with the rain, but this did not stop souls coming to the kingdom.

Students in different schools had a chance of hearing the gospel a good number open their hearts to Christ. From the prisons I received a letter, the warden was so appreciative, to the team and work done, he made a request that we send them bibles, and if possible we help with blankets. This one need that inmates have nothing to cover at night.

Radio program, through radio we were able to reach 1..5 million people. And the most amazing thing is that after we had left people continued calling the station. Many were giving testimonies of how God had healed them, and many other answered prayer requests. As a result the owner of the radio station has offered us chance to have one hour’s program, twice a week, at the cheapest rate of $ 200 a month. I believe this is a miracle, join us in prayers that God, will give us provisions, so that we will be able to get this money and continue with this radio ministry.

Hoping you will develop better thoughts to include in the report. But am so encouraged to know how my people benefited from our visit to the area. And as I mentioned to you earlier, pastors are asking that we organize another conference next year, I will put this before the Lord so that we may get a team for next year. Hoping you can help to lobbing. My secretaries send the receipt, hoping you will get them Friday.
Godfrey.

Summary of Uganda Mission by Team & Pastors

SUMMARY REPORT By Fran Hallgren
AGLOW TRANSFORMATIONS TEAM ~
UGANDA November 1-14, 2008

Team Leader: Fran Hallgren

Highlights from the Team

JOY MOSLEY

Powerful was His presence in the midst of us as we fasted, prayed, and came to know each other through our conference calls. Anointed was the leadership of Fran and Janet as the many details were communicated to us. We were a Team with a divine mission from the hand of God, submitted to His authority. I am still awed and brought to tears as I recall just how much a Team we were from the moment we met at the airport. Getting to know the heart of each one, hearing their testimonies of Jesus' redeeming love, and witnessing their proclamation of His Word deepened my love for each one – how different, how unique, but one in min, purpose and Spirit. My part in all this seems so small, yet what God did in Uganda with ten ordinary women will always be the highlight of the trip. What a delight and joy were the Ugandans. Warm, welcoming, gentle, and humble from the first embrace at Entebbe Airport. (They were) calm, respectful and so grateful that we would sacrifice our time and funds to come encourage and visit them. Their trust of Jesus in us humbled me over and over. ...I will never be the same...I came to realize the fullness of the power and authority we have as children of God and believers in the redemption of the cross of Christ. Each email from Uganda confirms that the good work begun will continue. I praise God that I was called to be part of this Team that did a transforming work in Uganda. (Joy also kept the receipt book and had a particularly good teaching called: Count It All Joy (Becoming Mature Fruit. Joy also took on the responsibility of heading up Sub-Team C in Mbale).

JUDY SMITH

My passion was going to the orphanages, schools, hospitals and prisons, sharing the Word with the Evangecubes to bring them to salvation. The children were all so beautiful with their beaming smiles. Watching their faces as we did the puppet shows and making bead necklaces with them was heart-wrenching and heart-warming. But, oh! Seeing them raise their little hands to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior was just awesome! The hospital was a hard place. Phyllis, Donna, Elise and myself ministered to the HIV patients, the pregnant women, and all those in the waiting room...with evangecubes followed by the salvation prayer. We prayed individually for them for healing and deliverance of the spirit of death and heaviness. Three of us went to the prison (Holly, Robin and myself). When (the prisoners) came in, both men and women, they all clapped for us. I shared my testimony; Holly did the Evangecube, and Robin showed the Evangecube to the women (who were separated from the men). Most all said the salvation prayer. The men all got down on their knees in the mud for prayer. It was a very humbling experience. They were open to receive the Lord. (Judy met every challenge with grace and excitement. Holy Spirit told me to put her “on the block” to do the message at the first Evangelistic Crusade. She was great! and stretched.)

DONNA ANDES

When we (sub-team A) arrived in Entebbe with Martha and Obed, we had 60 Aglow women waiting for us in the church. We taught them how to receive and minister the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. I felt the Spirit leading me to speak to just the Aglow Officers at another time. Another afternoon we all spoke to the youth; Phyllis giving her testimony and Holly doing the Evangecube. Three young people received a deliverance, including the youth leader. It was about 8:30 or 9:00 pm. Pastor Moses said there were about 50 leaders waiting for us in the church (in Entebbe). God said: Open your mouth and He would fill it. And He did! We encouraged them and believed God was going to raise them up to evangelize other nations. We ended up praying for each one that came forth (and they all did!) The anointing was so strong, I got drunk. After getting to my room, I could not raise off the bed without Holy Spirit laughter. Holly came to get me to come and eat, and I literally could not raise off the bed and she got a dose also. God knows what we need and how to restore. (Donna was invaluable, having been to Africa a few times before. At 78, mature and full of depth, her teachings on Tithing to Freedom and Baptism in the Holy Spirit were important and transforming for all.)

PHYLLIS KING

A young lady stopped us on our way to the Kyenjojo hotel and frantically asked us to come pray for her sister. We followed her around the shopping buildings to a little brick building where a beautiful, young African girl looked like she was dying of AIDS. She had an IV in her arm. Oh! The love of Jesus we felt as we ministered to her. At one place, our van was stopped with an urgent request for prayer ; an elderly lady was sitting on a mat at the side of the road, holding her chest. She was complaining of sever chest pain and had an irregular pulse. We prayed for healing in the name of Jesus Christ. Then I asked her how did she feel? The biggest smile came on her face and her eyes lit up! Back at the hotel, Holly and I reflected on how immediately the pain left her and we gave praise to God Almighty for His healing power. (Phyllis was one whose flight was delayed. She reported that though bothersome, there was a purpose. The next day she had a divine appointment on the flight! She shared her testimony and prayed with an African man. Apparently a minister was in front of her and to her side, who heard Phyllis and later remarked “Wow! You shared Jesus in such a loving way. Good job!)

ROBIN BACHINI

he first church in Mbale was Pastor Rose's, The River of Life. Joy gave her testimony and I preached. The praise and worship was so powerful that it brought the presence of our Lord Jesus in the place. We were standing on holy ground!! We had to fall to our knees because we could not stand. Joy and I prayed and prophesied over every person including all the babies and children. We were so blessed. The last place we shared our Lord, we experienced a lot of spiritual warfare! Satan did not want us there! Pastor Imelda drove us; a long journey. We drove up to a place where we had to come to a stop and a wide board of 3”-4: spikes. (There are police checkpoints here and there in Uganda.) Pastor Imelda did not see them, and drove over the board of spikes. Police officers were bewildered. Normally, if you do not stop behind that board, you are fined. But Pastor Imelda had God's favor. We drove off and continued to drive for another hour. Now, in the natural, the tires should have been shredded!! Yet we drove to our destination and WOW! Only the front right tire was low and not any marks on any of the tires! At that place, then, I preached on the importance of being baptized in the Holy Spirit. Many came forward for salvation and baptism in the Holy Spirit. I led the people in prayer and many began speaking in their heavenly language. There was one man having a difficult time. Pastors helped and prayed. We later found out that this man happened to be the head of witchcraft in his community! Demons manifested and were cast of of many people. Thee was Victory! In the house of God!!! (Robin was a joy and a hoot! Compassion, prayer, joy and submission were her hallmarks.)

ELISE COX

On the mountain, Fran had the rooster puppet and drawing the children near with “Jesu akwagala” (Jesus loves you. Suddenly she said “Elise! Get your evangecube!” I did the Cube and led several of these children to Christ right there! The presence of the Holy Spirit was so strong at the conference. That morning, I felt the Lord telling me to do my teaching on Eleven Lies/Eleven Truths about Father God. In the middle of my teaching, about the 8th truth (from Scripture) a person in the back started screaming and groaning. Fran said he lept across several chairs like a leopard. Annette, my interpreter said not to worry, he has demons. That was proof to me that the Truth was being spoken and Satan didn't like it. Other pastors took the man outside for deliverance. It did not really interrupt the meeting at all. A girl, Anna, from one of the worship teams and her friend taught Fran and I an African dance. I hoped she was kidding when she said we were going to dance on stage with them that night at the Crusade! But they weren't kidding. They called us up AND added new steps! I kept bumping into the poor person on my right, but it was a wonderful experience. I was definitely S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D...but here are some things learned. Trust God; He will show up. Do it afraid. Step out and be bold and courageous and God will do the rest. It's not about me, but God. (Elise was a complete joy to have on this team, always ready and excited to step out in something new, ministry, food, whatever, and she did so with a very humble and teachable spirit.)

FAY WILLIAMS

The mission trip was very good; the people were very warm and friendly. Good food and good fellowship. The Lord blessed the services – many were saved, healed and set free by the power of God. It was an awesome trip; I would do it again, the Lord willing. We had a great team leader and team that the Lord put together, and great people in Uganda to work with. The people there were ready and hungry for the Lord. Many asked if we were coming again next year. Many pastors visited the homes where we were staying, still seeking teaching about things of God. I am very honored to have been a part of this team. I have been encouraged, blessed and helped tremendously, although stretched at times. This mission is one I will not forget. (Fay was also on the March '08 Philippine team. Faithful, dependable and capable; she is able to speak to large groups and small, always giving God full honor for His work in any meeting.)

Jill Torgerson

During the last leg of our trip, four of us went many, many miles over pot-holed roads along with Imelda to a little village which was just being established. The concrete venue had never been used for a Christian meeting before. Immediately we noticed witchcraft articles (bags of charms/items) hanging from the rafters, windows, etc. We knew right away that we had to do some major spiritual warfare before we could meet-so we spent 45 minutes cleansing it, commanding evil spirits to flee. When the meeting got underway, the first speaker had a hard time 'breaking through' due to so many distractions...so we (decided) on a praise/worship session, claiming the Blood of Jesus, etc. Finally, we broke through and the people came forward for ministry. Many deliverances, salvations, baptisms in the Spirit resulting. The Holy Spirit moved in a major, powerful way. One man who came forward said he wanted to be baptized in the Holy Spirit – so we prayed for him. Nothing happened, so I asked him to raise his hands and praise Jesus, which he could not do. Then he started writhing like a snake, foaming at the mouth and body contorting. I asked one of the local Pastors to take over, as they preferred to have men minister to men, especially in deliverance. After a time, the man was delivered and the spiritual leaders in the town rejoiced as he was the main leader for the witchcraft clan in the city! Now he was set free and God was glorified! (Jill had a notable teaching on personal prophetic declaration, where she used a slingshot to shoot 'declarations' into the air and then invited some of the people to come forward and do the same. Great!)

Holly Lambert

Uganda is one of the poorest nations in the world. One of the best things we brought with us was HOPE, but this did not diminish the importance of daily miracles. Just our very presence brought the people of Uganda hope. Our total mission was focused on ministry, which did not leave time to see large game or gorillas. The best way I can describe our schedule was some kind of time warp in which you might say “How could that mission team have done so much?” Because of the intensity of this mission, let me just share something that really stuck in my mind besides visiting all the childrens at schools and orphanages where our hears were stolen by the children singing. Robin, Judy and I agreed to go do a jail ministry. It was a distance, and I wondered how they know where they are going with no road signs. We started out on one of the few paved roads, but then onto a dirt pot-hole road, then another, and another! Some roads were not much more than two tire tracks. As we finally approached the jail, we stopped for prayer. The head jailer was not pleased with our arrival...nevertheless, he allowed us in. Judy is what I call an expert in jail ministry. She gave a testimony and I gave a salvation message. The men responded to the message of Christ's forgiveness and bowed their heads, praying that Christ would enter their lives. It was a powerful time as we saw hardened prisoners with new expressions on their faces. All but two received Christ! Meanwhile, Robin met with the (smaller population) of women. Thanks be to God for the wonderful mission we had. (Holly also got her feet 'wet' in the Philippines '08 mission. She is full of the Spirit, but also level-headed. And no one can match Holly when it comes to quoting Scripture with FIRE!)

Uganda National Aglow Leader, Imelda Bwayo and husband Patrick along with many of the National Board and other pastors at Victory PartyImelda: “I thank God for the great ministry and the transformation Spirit from the Lord that followed the Team as they ministered in the various places. The Lord was able to do wonders through the team. The evil one fought tooth and nail, but we were more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. “Aglow is on demand by men and women everywhere in the country. The ministry is going to explode! Generally the mission was very powerful and transforming. Many of us will never be the same. We really praise and thank God for blessing us.” These next comments were emailed to me from various Ugandan and Kenyan pastors: .

Pastor David Busobozi “We are very sure that the Lord sent you in time and with a timely message. We loved your teachings and were blessed so much....the girls (at our school) were so excited and blessed by your prayers and love you shown them. They always give testimony about your visit for the encouragements they got.” .

Pastor Paul: “Thank you for saying yes to the Lord to come. Your coming has done a lot in the hearts of my people, in the land, to business men, to families who have seen how women can stand and do the great work for the kingdom of God. ...level of anointing so your coming has changed many things spiritually, some of which cannot be easily seen by our naked eyes.” .

Pastor James Wanyonyi: “You were a blessing to us and the teachings you gave are foundational to us in Kenya. Thank you for the wonderful teachings you have brought to us. I am printing them out and will teach them at my church. The Kenyan church loves you so much. We praise God for you and your (team).”

Pastor David Mukisa: I am very happy to reach you the good news about the meeting which you held together with us in November 12th . It was a great deal! Praise the Almighty. Amen. Secondly, we were invited to open 6 Aglow chapters in Pallisa District and in Budaka District, so we are still in need of your prayers and support so that we may be able to serve the Lord and to accomplish the vision of Aglow International in Uganda. .

Excerpts from The Circular of Our Appreciationand the way forward in Aglow International as Kabwangasi ChapterOur dear friends, we would like to let you know our determination with the voice which we have as Kabwangasi as a Chapter. Since Aglow meetings began in 2003 in Kabwangasi Sub-county as a whole, we have received many different testimonies and changes which Aglow International has done in women, it has encouraged women to approach their fellow women who are unbelievers, to be determined and get devoted in God's word through your seminars in our area and not only in the spirit but also physical help like the gifts of nets* you sent. Therefore as Kabwangasi Aglow Women, we reach this message to appreciate our dear visitors Aglow Transformation ministry from USA for that great love shown to us. Our vision therefore...is to come up with a strong urge to serve the Lord with a faithful heart through meetings, door to door evangelism and to hold two general seminars every year. We also hope to be inviting our neighboring sub-counties to benefit together with us. Finally...we believe Aglow ministry to cover the whole district of Pallisa and others around us for women to shine in Uganda as a whole, as women in USA shine. (* the nets are through Fran Lance's Aglow ministry there.)

Uganda 08 Summary Report from Fran Hallgren

There is so much to say about the Uganda Mission Trip...I think I could almost write a whole book for a two week mission visit but....here is part of a report from Fran Hallgren our team leader.Please Pray for Uganda,
Holly Lambert

Summary Report by Fran HallgenUganda Aglow Transformation Team Team Leader Fran HallgrenNovember 1-15, 2008

Dear Co-Laborers in the Kingdom,
It is with extreme pleasure that I make this report to you. Trying to be as concise as possible, I have made an overview, some statistics, highlights from the team members, and testimonies from those we ministered alongside in Uganda. Personally, I have been involved in Aglow for many years, and have been fully active in my state of Alaska, both in lighthouse leadership and area team leadership. On our Area Team I am currently serving as VP of Leadership Development, where I teach Aglow fundamentals (among other things). When I began teaching our leadership about the Pillars of Aglow – Prayer and Evangelism, my spirit began to stir. I have been fully engaged in the ever-growing prayer movement...but where was the evangelistic thrust?

Then I heard Janet Mangum speak at International Conference and my spirit lept. I think I was #3 to sign up for that mission trip to Philippines! (I do want you to know, however, that the Northern Area Team in Alaska has been doing missions for the last few years in the Far North – Nome, Barrow, Kotzebue and Point Hope. When I speak at Aglows here and in the Lower 48 about missions, I am often met with “Great! But what are you doing locally?” My answer is always the same: No one needs to tell us how to be Aglow locally, or ask permission from HQ to do good deeds in our own backyards. And I then tell them what our 'Frozen Chosen' are doing up here!)

Anyway, I honestly have never had a “burning desire” to go to the Philippines, or Africa, or anywhere else for that matter. All I know is that I always desired to GO, and the destination was always secondary to the work needing to be done. I thank Aglow for giving us a place to fulfill this desire.

My thanks to Janet Mangum, Dir. of Aglow Evangelism, first for her inspiration, and then for her mentorship and trust in the Holy Spirit in me, to do this mission. This is a turning point in my life and I will be forever grateful.

My thanks also to Linda, who made herself available to me (and my many questions, this being my first time as team leader) even when she had other important matters to attend to; and also to Michelle and Sarah in Finance, for their patience in working through the gliche in finances.

My thanks to Jane and the entire board, for their willingness to grasp this vision. I know it is new, and will have some 'bugs' for a bit...but I see this as part of the great unveiling of part of “God's Secret Army” that Dutch Sheets, Chuck Pierce, Graham Cooke and others have been speaking of over the last few years. And I am honored and excited to be part of this!

My thanks to each and every Team member for their heart and their work, both before and during the mission, and their incredible unity in the Spirit; including Cheryl Erbes our intercessor prayer/news coordinator. And of course, all thanks and glory and honor be to God for all fruit of the mission. With that excitement, I submit the following report to you.

Fran Hallgren


Upon Arrival in Uganda:
We were picked up in vehicles and taken to a nice hotel in Kampala for the night (as we arrived near midnight). At breakfast, we led one of the hotel workers to the Lord, and were able to give her a Bible. Then we were driven to Kyenjojo...a several hour drive...and settled into a very nice hotel (which was still under construction, but the owner said it was done enough to keep us. There was no one else in the hotel and they provided a chef, a steward and a maid for our use. We had beds, bathrooms, lockable doors, and 3 flights of stairs to climb every time! But the food was good and our sleep sweet.)

KYENJOJO MINISTRY:Excerpts from a letter from Pastor Godfrey“Our conference in Kyenjojo was the first to bring together 427 church leaders (according to registration). One of the most significant things about the teaching was that every one of the women brought teachings that were needed by the leaders. “...The crusades had great results. The crusade manager report that over 370 people gave their lives to Christ. As you know we had a problem with the rain and electricity, but this did not stop souls coming to the Kingdom. “...From the prisons...the warden was so appreciative... “...through the radio we were able to reach 1.5 million people...amazing thing is that (days afterward) people continued calling the station (for prayer). Many were giving testimonies of how God had healed them and many other answered prayer requests. As a result, the owner of the radio station has offered us us chance to have (the) one hour program TWICE a week, and at the cheapest rate...I believe this is a miracle... “ (I) am so encouraged to know how my people benefited...” Pastor Godfrey

From Fran: . The Holy Spirit told me who to slot for the different ministry every single day! Amazing! (See Aglow backpack on my back in the picture? Loaded with Bible, Evangecube, hand sanitizer, bug repellant, anti-bacterial wipes, protein bar, etc.) . While some were teaching at the conference each day, the others on the team were taken to many schools, orphanages, hospital and jails, where they evangelized, prayed and encouraged all. Everyone had an opportunity to teach, testify, minister at schools/orphanages, hospitals, jails, and participate at the crusades. . Hospital: ministered to HIV patients (25), pregnant women (20) and waiting room (30), used Evangecubes, Judy gave personal testimony, and everyone was prayed for...many saying the salvation prayer. . Jail: (local) Evangecube and testimony to those awaiting sentencing. All prayed the salvation prayer and then were prayed over individually. . Prison: They cheered (for prison team Judy, Robin, Holly) here. Used Evangecube and personal testimonies. Most all the men (about 25) and 8 women said the salvation prayer. The men all got down on their knees in the mud for individual prayer. . Schools/Orphanages: We visited so many! Every place, the teachers gathered the children together in classes or groups, then we shared puppets, evangecubes, vitamins, with the children...and prayers and encouragement for those in charge. . Radio: Listenership is about 1.5 million. Testimony and then call-in prayer ministry. . Public: In particular, a woman was seen on the roadside, apparently in much pain and a look of desperation. Phyllis and Holly prayed for her healing, and she was healed on the spot...her eyes lighting up...pulse becoming normal. We had many opportunities to witness to people besides the arranged places. . Everywhere we handed out Bibles and the childrens' Jesus Books. . Pastor Godfrey and his team were very organized. The venue was suitable. The cooks were good and timely. The worship teams were wonderful. Budgeting was near perfect for this place. . We ministered in teaching approximately 6 hours each day at the Convention and then 2 hours at the Evangelistic Crusade each evening...except one rained out. . Topics taught at convention: God's Blueprint for Leadership, Tithing to Freedom, 11 Lies/ 11 Truths about Father God, Power of Words, Prophetic Declaration, and more . We encountered demonic manifestations in usual (for us) ways, as well as many with a spirit of divination. But nothing that interrupted the flow of any of the meetings. . The matter of getting our money out of the Uganda bank was met with much patience and the Lord's favor, as Pastor Godfrey had to tell the various people that they would have to wait to be paid. He was given much grace by all. . Without going into the wearisome details, I had to give $1400 of my $2000 emergency money to cover some of the bills because of the bank problem. (Bank corruption is the most likely cause of the money problem.) I see this as God's provision, that He told you all to send $2000 with me instead of the $600 I'd asked for. In the future, we shall carry monies with us. On November 8th we made the switch from working with Pastor Godfrey to working with Pastor Imelda Bwayo, the Uganda Aglow National Leader. . We left 3 team members at Entebbe to preach at church and share at Aglow meetings. The rest of us went on to Mbale. Donna, Holly and Phyllis (Sub-team A) rejoined us a couple of days later.

MBALE MINISTRY (Men, women and children!) .

Team members stayed at various pastor's homes...all of which were lovely, with running water and electricity (most of the time), flush toilets, and wonderful beds and food. We are thankful to Imelda and the Uganda National Board for our wonderful accommodations . We were divided into three sub-teams, covering three times as much area! . Churches: All team members preached at churches on Sunday, where many came forward receiving salvation as well as Baptism of the Holy Spirit, healing and deliverance. Attendance at the various churches ranged from 75 to 500. . We spoke at six Aglow meetings with attendance ranging from 60 to 250 . There were nearly as many men as women; children were not counted . One result from the Kabwangasi Aglow meeting was that they want to open 6 more Aglow chapters! (Because most don't have cars, they want chapters in key places that are easily walked to.). A thank-you circular from Kabwangasi Aglow/Pastor Mukisa is attached.. Several orphanages and schools were visited, “puppetized” and evangecubed, with many confessing the salvation prayer. (I think we have coined this word.) We distributed the Jesus books and vitamins everywhere we could. . Fay, Elise and I taught 2 ½ days of Worship Ministry teachings. The need is so great that we could barely scratch the surface. People would come to the house after dinner and want more, more, more. Sometimes we were up until midnight still teaching (with joy!). . The Bugema Orphanage (run by 3 widows, overseeing nearly 100 children) was most precious. . Wanale Summit: We went to the high place, had communion with Imelda and leaders, prayed, blew the shofar, and made prophetic declaration over Uganda. . On the way up and down this mountain, we “puppetized” the children on the roadside. At the top, as our Rooster puppet gathered the children with shouts of “a quagala Jesu!” (Jesus loves you), a group of children gathered 'round...I shouted to Elise to get her Evangecube, which she did, and led 5 girls to the Lord right there! . One disappointment, was that we did not schedule time to go to Safari Park to see some wild animals. . Our schedule was chock-full; though we did make time for everyone to rest every day, and some shopping on the last day. . The Uganda National Board held a 'Victory' dinner our last night, where they presented each of us with an African outfit, tailored for each one of us. . We presented both Imelda and Godfrey with one of our green, embroidered AGLOW Transformations Team Uganda shirts. . Team returned to USA on the 14th, minus Joy, who stayed to work with another ministry of hers. I would ask each of you reading this report to please continue reading. Each team member's highlights will give you the real flavor of the ministry there, as well as comments from Ugandan/Kenyan pastors. In closing, I bless you all for allowing us to take Aglow ministry, teaching, and moreover, the love of Jesus, to these remote places. If I had to describe the entire two weeks in one word the word would be

HUNGRY.

So spiritually HUNGRY! For encouragement, real, in-depth Bible teaching (we did a lot of hard Christian character teaching and worship ministry teaching, both spiritual and practical aspects). The children were HUNGRY for hope and joy. (One of the most blessed things to us, was making children smile. I got an email from the overseer of one of the schools we'd gone to. This school houses 12 orphaned girls, some rescued from sex slavery, HIV positive with HIV babies. He and his wife have a tiny place with tiny beds for all, and 6 very old desks with 6 very old sewing machines. They were teaching the girls to sew so that they could make some kind of living. He reports that the girls are still talking about our visit, and how each of them were prayed for and made to feel 'special'. Praise God!) And when this team met the HUNGER of the people wherever we went, the fruit was so very sweet! We loved working alongside Imelda and Aglow Uganda; and were blessed as well, to come alongside another transdenominational ministry with Pastor Godfrey (whose people would also like to see some Aglow chapters opened in their area!) Whether the places we ministered to were small or large, God's presence and favor were with us everywhere! Of course, we had communion and devotions every morning! . No one got sick. . Everyone got to minister in the area they were particularly gifted in; . And everyone got stretched in ministry, too, doing things outside their comfort zone. . We had wonderful unity on this team . We dealt with demonic deliverances, healings, salvations just as the Bible asks. . We encountered some interesting foods and facilities; but nothing that the women on this team couldn't handle. Most looked at these things as part of the adventure. Overall, this mission trip was amazing, full, blessed and challenging. I give all the glory to God for choosing this team, to the Holy Spirit for guiding and instructing us every day as to what to do, what to say, where to go. The Lord showed me a long time ago, that some (Christians) are called to be major organs in the Body of Christ, and some are called to be the smallest capillary that takes the blood of Jesus to the last cell on the little toe. I am honored to take the blood/salvation of Jesus to anywhere He calls. When I see you in person (Louisville, 2009---my home town!) I will show you the shoes the Lord had me buy when I was in the Philippines. The shoes have words on them, KING and KINGDOM...which is why I bought them. When I got back to my room, however, Holly discovered sentences on these shoes. The sentences said: They went on an expedition to Africa. Will you join us? (They = Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit) It was like the Holy Spirit personally asked me this question. This was months before this mission trip to Uganda was planned by Janet and you all. Oh, yes! God knew what He was doing, even before we knew. Thank you for hearing Him and trusting me.

Always “...aglow and burning with the Spirit...serving the Lord”

Respectfully submitted,

Fran Hallgren

Letter from Donna-----

When we arrived in Entebee with Martha and Obed, we had 60 Aglow women
waiting for us in the church. We taught them how to receive and minister
the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. We all prayed for them and 3 got delivered.

I felt the Spirit leading me to speak to just the Aglow Officers at
another time.

Pastor Moses and Martha were the Pastor of this church called Evergreen
Pastures Minintries International. I slept in their bedroom and Holly
and Phyllis slept next door at a neighbor who was a member of the church.
They both ministered to this family as well.

That evening Martha received a deliverance in their home before we went
to bed. The five of us also prayed for each other. To God be the glory.

Sunday, the next day I blew the Shofar after an explanation. Had
wonderful worship. The two Aglow women gave their testimony and I taught
on tithing at both services.

Over lunch on Sunday Pastor Moses and Martha expressed a desire to attend
a seminary. I suggested they make a recording of their singing as they
both have beautiful voices. This way they could make money for
themselves, their church and orphans. Seems they had already mad a
casssett.

They do this a lot in Africa. A person sings, hold a CD up and people
come to give you money and take a CD home or receive an order for one.
God has raised up might anointed voices in Africa. Some don't even have a
particularly good voice but anointed and they love the Lord.

In the afternoon we all spoke to the youth. Phyllis gave her testimony
and Holly did the E Cube. All three of us prayed for each one (about
20.) Three received a deliverance including the youth leader.

5:30 P.M. We had worship again. Phyllis spoke on the fruits of the
Spirit, Holly on the gifts of the Spirit and I did tithing again.

I suggested they exercise their gift and pray in the Spirit. They did
this a long time and I taught them to wait on the Lord as I felt He had
something to say to us. A young man Joseph said we were to ask of Him,
it was done etc. It really edified the group of maybe a 100.

Then Pastor Moses had a word that 6 people were going to be delivered.
They came forward for prayer. He had another word that someone was going
to be healed in 3 months. A lady come forth crying and this time we also
joined him in praying for her. She knew how to claim it. Pastor Moses
said later they were going to have a day of worship and now they know how
to do it.

Next day we went to the Comfort Home that Mary Lance Sisk helps with.
Holly and Phyllis did most of the puppets, making the bead necklaces,
feathers etc. We had communion and I did the explanation for that and
sang the Lord's prayer like I had done 2 years before when we had the
audience with the King that passed away a couple months ago.

Then the kids (50) sang and (20) did a special song for us in English.
While they were singing I kept hearing that they need to tour America and
make money for a new orphanage and for International Aglow. They were so
together and anointed with their Pastor singing with them. I mentioned
this to Pastor Moses and of course he agreed. What else could he do huh?

Later that day we met with the Aglow officers. Pastor Martha was the
President. She had about 20 people present in the neighbors home. (They
had just formed 4 month prior.) I explained about unity, duties briefly
of each office, how to pray and minister to the women such as with their
eyes open occasionally for spiritual discernment, get Bible
studies started, receiving the offering and how it is spent, getting men
advisors etc. We covered alot.


I asked the worship leader to lead us and again we waited on the Lord. I
knew Phyllis had a word (a word from the Lord) and I poked her.
After explaining that we need not have any fear and can learn to be comfortable in Aglow,
Phyllis came out with it (with what the Lord directed her to say).
She had only been in Aglow 2 years and had never spoken a
word (word from the Lord) before. When she said this later it really blessed the local Aglow. We don't have it all together either and are always learning. We all prayed for each officer.

There were two men present. Pastor Moses and the worship leaders
husband, Alex. He is the Associate Pastor at New Life Harvest Church in
Kampala. I asked him if he knew about Smithwiggleworth, and he did. I
felt led to tell him he would do what Smithwiggleworth had done!

This was about 8:30 or 9:00 P.M. and Pastor Moses said there were about
50 leaders waiting for us in the church. God said open your mouth and He
would fill it and He did! We encouraged them and believed God was going
to raise them up to Evangelize other nations.
We ended up praying for each one that came forth and they all did. The
anointing was so strong I got drunk (drunk in the Holy Spirit). After getting to my room I could
not raise off the bed without Holy Spirit laughter. Holly came to get me
to come and eat and I literally could not raise off the bed and she got a
dose also. God know what we need and how to restore.

The next day Pastor Moses and Martha took us to Embale to join the rest
of the team. That church was so oppressive compared to what we had just
left. As I began to pray in the Spirit I saw a small animal skull and a
bag of something in the rafters. I recognized that trick of omens etc.
Later Sister Imelda said that place had been a worship center of early
Indians.

From here you know the rest of the story.
