Dear Friends and Family,
Kathy and I continue to enjoy the goodness of God upon our lives and ministry. I preached several times in mission conferences in Alabama and Tennessee since our last prayer letter. God blessed, and it was a real encouragement to minister with families going around the world to tell the truth so people can be set free and find a blessed relationship and fellowship with our true and living God. I am teaching a class on Spiritual Leadership in Bible Institute on Tuesday nights. Daily I am communicating with one or more preachers in East Africa. It is so encouraging to see people you have reached carry on God’s work for His glory. I trust you will be encouraged to hear some testimonies I received by email.

The sow the seed program has started with many schools reached. Schools so far preached to are: Masindi Secondary, Kings College Masindi, Kitara model Secondary School, Rock foundation senior School and Kinyara High Secondary School. Many other schools are still being followed up to be granted the opportunity; however, we are still waiting for the gospel tracts to begin distribution of tracts in these schools including Primary schools. Of the preaching done, we registered three souls at Kings College Masindi. I have written to the Commissioner General of Prisons to be given permission in Mid-Western Government Prisons, we are yet to make follow up of the letter in Kampala. Two men are spearheading the program, Brother Rapheal and Brother Ronald are students in the Bible Institute and are active church members, soul winning and ministering in the choir.

A lot has been happening through my New Life radio preaching program. More people have been giving testimonies how the program has helped them. One of my radio listeners from Kyangwaali called Gard received Jesus Christ as His personal Savior. Ambroz from Kakindo, also received Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior. Julius from Muro, Masindi District, received Jesus as His personal Lord and Savior. Kisembo from Kigorobya being rejected by his grandmother for a long time, she (grandmother) listened to one of my programs and later she had to forgive the grandson. Kisembo lost both of the parents and the only relative who had remained behind was the grandmother who had rejected him. His father died when he had sold off all the land. Kisembo didn’t have where to stay. Praise the Lord for New Life Radio for such a reconciliation between Kisembo and the grandmother.

Today we went to Katikara. The purpose of this journey was to find a suitable place where we could plant a church. You know we had several calls from our radio listeners in this place. I believe the place we have seen would be a good place for a church. It’s near the town of Katikara. I have personally loved it plus the men I went with. The size of the land is 65 feet x 150 feet. There’s also a small house on the land. This could be used as our first church building. The owner is selling it at 10 million shillings. The idea I have is, if we can buy this, then we will not have to rent a house. That one would help right away. Let’s buy this land. Collin is ready to go, and we’re also ready to help him get started. He has also liked the place.
Keep praying for more laborers in East Africa and for the laborers in East Africa. Pray that we can soon get our tracts printed and shipped.
Your missionaries to East Africa – Tony and Kathy
