“Where is your Pastor?”

"Where is your Pastor?"

We get this question from visitors; both Ugandan and foreigners.   

The first thing people think about is that a church must have a pastor.  But, God has not sent us a pastor yet.  We don’t know why but we are not letting that stop us from having church every Sunday.  

We have a great team of missionaries that are sharing the Word every Sunday and we are seeing the fruits. The people are learning God’s word!

We have all meet together in worship service and then break into four groups.

We have two children’s groups, older and younger primary children.  We have between 200 and 300 each week! Either Anya or I teach the Bible story weekly; Arafat is our awesome translator.   

Galya and Evan work with the class that is not in Bible study. We rotate the groups so all hear God’s Word and get to do a color sheet.

We also have a youth class, this began as a class for Esangalo helpers but has grown to be so much more!  Robin teaches this class with Alloys as her translator.

 

We have a great Adult group!  Gregorio or Luis teaches this class in Spanish. Then Claudia or I translate to English. Then Alfred or Hassan translates to Samia!  This class has really grown in the past year!  At first we would have 10 – 15, now we average 40 – 50!

Yes, we are praying for a Pastor and we will all be excited when the Lord sends us one, but in the meantime, God is working and his people are hearing his Word.  Praise the Lord!
