on our way to ministry!
So here's the situation: The church we are working with here in Kampala, Uganda had mortgaged a plot of land to build a new church after their current church was ripped in half during a bad storm. The congregation had fallen behind in payments with more than a few members sleeping in the church with now only 2 walls and a spotty roof due to lack of funds, being kicked out of homes for their faith, and other such situations. Here in Uganda if you cannot make payments you are put in prison until you can and it was getting down to the wire.
Our pastor had gone to his court hearing for the late payments and had just a few days to get millions of shillings to pay the debt or else…
We watched sadly as our humble, sweet pastor quietly downplayed how stressed out he was getting, not knowing how her would make it out of the seemingly impossible situation. We tried to reassure him and his wife and prayed for guidance and provision.
With just a day left till his final hearing that couldn't be put off any longer millions of shillings came into the pastors hands overnight and it was enough to pay the debt, keep the land for the church and our pastor out of prison.
If felt like such a terrible position for our pastor to be in completely helpless and dependent on God but our God delivers, Our God answers prayers, our God loves us and even in the toughest situations He is willing to PAY CA$H MONEY!
