We are experiencing problems with our website
hosting and the website is not viewable or editable in Uganda because of
security issues; it seems the host sees it best to block access to their sites
in Uganda and that this will be a permanent situation. We are safe and there is
no threat towards us. For now you can see our communications online at: https://missionafricajk.blogspot.ug/. Thanks for your patience and as always we need and appreciate
your prayers!
Friends: Our Updates
are sent to instruct, encourage, edify and act as a help in prayer. We
appreciate your receiving them, your replies, comments and prayer
requests.
We will share this
Update format once a month as God allows.
Teaching and Prayer
for Africa:
May our Lord, who has
blessed us with salvation in Christ help us to better understand “Of The Church”
from the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689: “The catholic or universal
church, which (with respect to the internal work of the Spirit and truth of
grace) may be called invisible, consists of the whole number of the elect, that
have been, are, or shall be gathered into one, under Christ, the head thereof;
and is the spouse, the body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all.”
Edited from Operation
World, Seventh Edition: “Ministry that cares for orphans and widows, uplifts the
poor, brings liberty to the oppressed and sets captives free reflects the heart
of God, the values of the Scriptures, and the role of the Church. Caring for
the downtrodden and vulnerable and demonstrating practically Christ’s love are
increasingly-and rightly-the focused activities of evangelical ministry. Give
thanks for the Church’s increasing understanding That Christ’s Kingdom can and
must transform every aspect of life and community.”

“Paul,
a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our beloved
friend and fellow laborer, to the beloved Apphia, Archippus our fellow soldier,
and to the church in your house: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ.” Philemon 1-3
“Too
late I loved You.
O You
Beauty of ancient days, yet ever new!
Too
late I loved You.
Look,
You were within, and I was out wandering, searching.
I was a
monster, plunging through Your fair artistry.
You
were with me, but I was not with You.
A
world of things hindered me from finding You.
Yet
such things have no existence unless they are in You.
You
called, shouted, and burst my deafness.
You
flashed, shone, and scattered my blindness.
You
breathed out wondrous odors.
Finally
I drew in my breath and craved Your aroma.
I
tasted until I knew hunger and thirst.
You
touched me, and I burned for Your peace.
One day with all of my self I shall be able to cling to
Your being. Then I shall put aside sorrow and labor; and my life will wholly
live, for I will be wholly full of You. But even now You fill the one You lift
up. I am aware that I am not full of You, so I am a burden to myself.
Lamentable joys contend with joyous sorrows. Which will win the contest?
How
can I know?
Woe is
me!
Lord,
have pity on me.
My
evil sorrows battle my good joys, until it is hard to know
what
will win.
Woe is
me! Lord, have pity on me.
Woe is
me, for I am sick.
I will
not hide my wounds from You the Physician.
You are
merciful, but I am miserable.
Is not the life of man upon earth all trial? Who wishes for
troubles and difficulties? You command them to be endured, not to be loved. No
man loves what endures, though he may indeed love to endure. For though he rejoices
that he endures, he had rather there were nothing for him to endure. In adversity
I long for prosperity, in prosperity I fear adversity. What middle place is
there betwixt these two, where life is not all trial?
O Love who ever burns and never consumes.
Kindle me with new affections, O my God.
You call me to purity, so give what You command, and command
what You will.”
-St. Augustine
