We traveled to numerous villages over a nine day period during our September trip to Uganda. The last village we stopped at was one of intrigue and challenge to say the least. On the day prior, our interpreter was more quiet than usual. He shared that this was the village he had grown up in. Many people in this area were of Muslim faith. As we pulled into the village we were met by two large tents set up for our arrival. There were about eight people sitting under the tents. Our team walked down the road to a house where some elderly ladies lived. They were dressed in wonderfully bright colors. They met us under shade trees with plastic chairs and insisted we sit in them as they sat on the ground around us. After a time of sharing, they walked back to the tents with us.
Our interpreter introduced our team and before we knew it there was over a hundred people under and around the tents. As we began sharing Jesus, my interpreter’s quite demeanor changed to one of confidence. The Words of the Holy Spirit flowed out of our mouths and into the ears of those hearing God’s Word that day.
Once we finished speaking, Bill followed with teaching” Farming God’s Way.” Afterward, we passed out over one hundred Bibles to both Christians and Muslims alike. – From Greg
