It's so good to be back here. I was here about a year ago
during the mission month and it's so good to be back again with my family
in a few of the family, the Mama Sheill's family, the DeVore family
that has become part of us. And last September we had the privilege to
have you two come. You passed. Joe landed and she went in the
bush to do a medical camp with Justice and we had passed doing do a
passas conference. We bring our parstors together every September, all the three hundred
and sixty seven pastors come and they go through a training and the conference.
So we had the privilege to holst passa drain and he did a great,
great job. We can't wait to have you back there. Amen. And
over the years this charge knew her rise and has become such a great,
great partner with the ministry and all that we do in Africa. You're one
of the biggest partners we have right now as in terms of churches. So
we are counting on you. Bring greetings from a lots of your friends in
Africa. They are asking when you are coming back, let me read you
a scripture. The Book of Matthew, Chapter twenty eight and the last three
verses of the book Matthew twenty eight and verse eighteen. The Bible says,
and Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, all authority has been given
to me in heaven and on earth. God there for and make disciples of
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit. Them to observe all things that I have commanded
you, and low I'm with you always, even to the end of the
age. A man, this is this is, This is where we get
the great commission Jesus sending the disciples to the world. This is after a
few days Jesus has come back from the dead. This has just reslected.
And get this bunch of fishermen together in a room, and then give them
this command to go out and make nations disciples. That's a big task to
give to people like Peter, who had actually denied him a few days Arier
denied him. And then when Jesus died, the Bible says, Peter went
back to fishing, and all the other eleven disciples, one of them actually
at betray Jesus. The eleven all scattered and they went back to whatever we
were doing before because they lost the Savior. And so when Jesus came back
to life, he had to gather these eleven men back to himself, and
then he gave them this command to go out all over the world and make
nations disciples. And so that's this is where I come from. One of
one of the nations that has been discipled or handed discipleship is Uganda in nineteen
ninety six, that's when the war ended, and so Papa n m'm atually
landed in Uganda in nineteen eighty seven, a year after the war had ended.
A lot of people have been killed for during that civil war that lasted
five years, and there was a lot. Uganda was worse than so Maria
was broken economy, there was nothing functional in our nation. But that's when
Paparone ma'ma surely landed as missionaries in a small village, Sagakul and they started
preaching the gospel. And then the heating of the nation of Uganda is started
by the preaching of this gospel. That's the power of the gospel. That's
why Paul says, I'm not ashamed of the gospel for it's the power to
save. And so then the following years, you know, a civil war
would destroy every fiber of the nation and Uganda will start to destroyed. A
few years back in nineteen ninety, it is said that you Gander, the
cases of AIDS in Uganda HIV was very high. I think then we had
about nine million people in Uganda nineteen ninety and he said that about thirty six
percent of that was seek with HIV. And so we came out of the
war just to face another war of a disease that killed so many people.
Multicular way you work with justice. The people there were all killed by AIDS.
That's where we have a lot of orphans in that area. And so
it was predicted that you Gander was going to be swept away by this disease.
But that's when the preaching of the gospel went up. Preachers like Molie
Cellulo, all robots Rain had Bunkie the later whoseborne. They started coming and
doing mega, mega crusades in the small country. And You're gonna started the
recovery through the preaching of the gospel. Right now, about thirty some years
later, you Ganda today is about forty five million people and AIDS is about
They said that we have about one million people one and a half million people
living with HIV. But AIDS can no longer kill anyone because it's now chewallable,
it's preventable. But it's through the preaching of the gospel. And so
I just wanted to share that information with you that know that a nation can
be changed by the preaching of this gospel. And so when Jesus tells the
the eleven or this bunch of guys and said go into the world and preach
this gospel, he meant what he said, and he saw recalled that these
guys went everywhere preaching. I actually believed that by the time they died,
they thought they had actually finished the great commission, that you preached the gospel
wherever they went to every known world then and the discipled other disciples who contained
the cycle or preaching this gospel. And so it's this is a this is
a good news that as a charge in your horizon two thousand years ago,
you are still participating in wild missions, helping to heal the nations, helping
to bring the good news to places where you can't go. But your support
goes so far. I mean when you give, and especially when you support
a school kid or a pastor or some mention in a place, they do
so much more with the little that you give, that God is able to
take and multiply and increase, because that's how the Kingdom works. It has
this ability to the little in the Kingdom is much. God has the ability
to multiply what we give in the form of a seed. And so we
have a first information. We are the testimony. We are the witnesses of
what God can do. If someone is saying or if someone gives. If
you didn't say Mama Suli and Papa ron to you gandha, some of us
who don't even be saved. But because they came and they said this.
They started in a small village, just one church for several years. What
they did was to do a church with Passa, Steve Mayanji and Pasa Kawasa
for many and the minister was in this tiny village. But right now,
I mean, we're all over Uganda, we are all over Africa. The
ministert has going on to go to Rwanda, Bloondi, Tanzania, Kenya,
southernas Dan, Congo, Ghana, and sometimes you when you watch your TV,
you think the church is dead or the ghostpel is done. Let me
tell you something. God is alive and it's still on the throne. You
need already to open this verse in MARTHI twenty eight eighteen. I remember what
Jesus said. He said, all authority know some not a part of it
is said. All authority has been given to me, and that has never
changed. All authority. It doesn't matter which nation live in. All authority
belongs to God. And you need to wake up every morning remind yourself that
all authority belongs to Him. Even in the most rebellious times like we live
in. It sounds like the darkness is increasing everywhere everywhere you go, and
there's a lot of fear, especially here in the United States. Your country
has been a going backward from where we are coming from. I mean more
scared in this theater than I am in Uganda. It feels like you guys
are walking backward. But let me tell you something. The Gospel is the
light of the world, and where darkness is. If there is pitchy darkness,
even the smallest of lights will become a bigger one. And so that's
the good news that we have. All authorities still belongs to Jesus. All
authority still belongs to him. Amen, I don't care if you're going through
a recession, whatever is happening. You don't belong to the kingdom of darkness.
You belong to the King of Kings. He's still on the throne.
He's still able to save. If God can change you, gander from the
worst to where we are today. God can take the United States to where
are you. So we are going to be. We are going to be
joining you in prayer and fasting. I'm going to ask all my Ugan and
prayer warriors to join you to pray for the United States. I believe there
would be a revival. There will see an outpouring of the speed of God
on this nation because of your generosity, because you have sent out me about
missionaries rather nation. The Lord, remember you, the Lord who is the
United States, one more time before the end of the world. And so
the good news is Jesus is in charge. He's in charge of DC.
You may don't see it, but he is. He's in charge of every
White House, every state house, every palace, every The Bible says that
at the mention of the name of Jesus, every knee, one time will
bow to Jesus. I have them. I have this picture in my mind,
pasted doing the one day, and the Bible says that I think it
was the apostle John that looked at and said that I looked at the far
the eye cold could see, and I saw nations, tribe, tank and
all kinds of languages. People that I look like strange people, but they
all belong to one kingdom, and they line up before the throne of God
or confessing the Jesus Lord. That's going to happen very soon. People.
I feel like we live at the age of time. We live in a
moment where the spirit of God is about to move across the nations, and
we need to be ready. We need to be people that are ready to
go. We need to be ready, but people that are ready to give.
We need to be ready because when everything is said and done, the
only thing that we are going to show when we show up at the Throne
of Grace is going to be the souls that each one of us want for
the Lord. The cars who disappear, vehicles who disappear, our houses wouldn't
be there, but the people, the people, the people that we preach
to, the people that we we support, the soul that would be saved,
the riches, the trophies that we are going to present before the Throne
of Grace. When we signed before the Lord, and the question will be
asked to each one of us, what did you do with your life?
And all I have to answer it. It would be so wonderful to have
people lining up behind you and say, hey, these are Africans that used
to send fifteen dollars to a pastor or to a church. And these are
the people that came out of my giving. Because that's how powerful the gospel
is. And so this year, this year, yeah, this last month,
we're able to love roof two churches with the last bunch of many centers.
We are amazing, amazing soul is coming out of Africa. We are
these two communities that have been striving to have a church or a roof over
their churches. And the people started the Passa Peter and another passa called Passa
Banghissi. They started churches in poor communities and they mobilize the people. They
made bricks with their hands, They bake the bricks and started building their churches.
Passa Peter told me every rain season they will come together the church and
get a garden and plant corn and other flutes. And then at the harvest
time they sell their harvests and get a little bit of money and contained constructing
the church. And so when they got at the roofing level, they called.
They both called me and said, hey, we need the roof over
our churches. And neither Passa Peter is the zone leader. We divided our
three one hundred and sixty churches in small groups. So Passerpeter leads about fifteen
churches. We call them zones. And so we had no functional building in
that area. So Passor Peter started building this. And when you set the
money, we are able to put a roof over those buildings. And so
for maybe another hundred years or above, if Jesus service, there will be
a church in those communities as a reminder of God Is faithfulness. Pass some
Banghazie churches up on the roof you can see miles away. It's a testimony
of God Is goodness to that community. And so the gospel who continue to
be preached and out of those buildings. Pastor Peter Persson, Banghassie are starting
to plant other churches in their territory and the gospel is being preached. And
so when Jesus said, go and make disciples of all nations, he made
that all of us should be should participate, We should be able to do
something. And that's when you give a fifteen dollars, ten dollars, five
dollars. You don't know what that does. In a third world country,
For one hundred dollars, you can send a kid to school for a full
year, meals paid, four books, uniform, shoes, everything catered before
you can pay a teacher to teach a hundred in our schools. One of
the schools we started, we have about six hundred kids in Masulita. In
Bukumula the same number, about four hundred kids in the school you helped us
to build two years ago. And so in one class you have about fifty
to one hundred kids in one class and one teacher. You pay teacher.
You are educating one hundred kids. And as our education is that important in
Africa, for those kids, it's everything. So we give them Jesus and
we give them education, and we give them clean water. And you're building
in the and you Gandha is that nation that actually being exemplar U Ganda started
descending up missionaris. All the eight all they eight other African countries, warmth
works in. They all been to u Ganda through the Bible College, and
we've been able to send them back to their countries. Our person in Balloondi
came as a refugee. He came running away from a war in Burundi and
he ended up in Uganda. Passa Sive Mayana found him, took him to
Bible College for four years. When the war ended, he went back to
Rundi and now he's an apostle, planting churches left and right, and many
many other small things that happened around us. Every time you come and you
go to Mutucula to do medical outreaches with justice, you don't know what you
are doing in that community. The baby that I've been born, which we
had a tracker that we put on their hands to track them. How they
turn out, maybe they will be the next rain Had Bunkie, They will
be the next preacher. That's how powerful the gospel is. He takes someone
that's nothing and turn them into a man of God. When I was living
in the swamp. It is my book. I have a book. Yeah,
I don't want to tell the story so they can buy the book.
Do you have a few more copies? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I won't tell the story, but the book will tell the story.
And actually it's on Amazon. It's cheaper to buy to buy the book on
Amazon. But my story is an amazing story. I came to I came
when I came to Mama Suuri and Papaone. I was just coming out of
the wall. I had lost my family, I had been through trauma that
I never thought I would ever mount to anything in life but the Gospel.
But the Gospel he changed me. I never thought that one day I'll be
preaching or standing before you telling my sorry. But the power of the Gospel
is able to change any man from nothing to anything that God wants them to
be and do. And so that's why we never stop going around preaching to
every creature. Jesus said, go and preach this gospel to every creature.
Creation needs to hear the good news. Tacoma needs to hear the good news.
Five needs the good news. Everyone in the US needs to hear the
good news. The good news is Jesus seals salves, and he's able to
turn around your life into the goodness of God. And when you get the
good news, you turn it around and appreciate your neighbor. It makes a
cycle that goes on and on until everyone gets a place where they have the
hope of glory. The Bible says the hope of glory in each one of
us. So the hope for America is not in the politics. The hope
of America is not in your economy. The hope for this nation is in
your Bible. It's in your Bible. And you guys are starting on well.
If you go on your knees and pray for nation, God is able
to save any nation. And so I want to encourage you this morning.
Are we seeing the morning the mom sing on your gand in time? I
think it's morning in your gandas afternoon here. But I want to encourage you
as you give. I want to let you know that you're giving goes far
and Heaven is going to record. There's no small giving in the Kingdom.
The way the kingdom resources work, little is too much. When you give
little, the Lord is able to take it multiply, it expand it and
give it back. Remember the soul of a master deceit. The tiniest seed
in the world is able to turn into one of the biggest trees ever.
So that's our giving works. So you guys, over the years, the
seeds and the offerings you sent out to Africa, especially Uganda where I live,
is helped to change in nation and the Gospel never sees as long as
you continue to give. An amount you give, God is able to bless
you. And I pray that as you give this this afternoon, the Lord
who remember your nation, the Lord who remember families, the nanny of your
children, walk away from the Lord, that your relatives and your families who
turned back to God, even though that are walked away from the ways of
the Lord, that will be able to return because you are sowing a seed
for them this afternoon. Father, thank you for this church, and thank
you for passor Grain. Thank you for Passor Joe, Thank you for all
the leaders of this congregation. Lord, I thank you Father for the for
the levelation that you give them to do world missions. I pray that they
give this morning, every giving individual, every giving family, that you remember
them, you smile over them and bless their hands of God. Bless their
businesses, bless their work. So God, bless them with salvation, Bless
them with your protection, with your favor. May you increase and multiply them.
Of God. I pray that the fear of the Lord will be upon
every family, every marriage, and the air you don't know. God,
I pray that even generations should come out of these people present, that they
will walk with God. They will know your ways, hear your voice,
and do your will of God. I prayer the United States. So God,
the one more time you visit the states of God, and with the
noutpulling of your spirit or God in the capitals of every state or God,
there will be move of the Holy Spirit that this nation turned back to you,
but the fear of the Lord will turn to every state capital. God,
I bless the United States with I preyer revival. I pray for your
presence in this congregation in Jesus' name. In Jesus' name, Amen,
