Our fifth full day in Uganda was the busiest day yet. Our day began at a local village in Soroti for a devotional with Bishop George. This man had a grin from ear to ear and was full of God's love and the joy of Christ. It was a blessing getting to worship with him, and Uncle Sam, our dear leader and friend, led us with a message from Psalm 84:1-2,10. His message was soaked in truth and the Spirit moved and challenged each and every one of us. After our time of fellowship, we visited four different schools and had the opportunity to teach the local kids them in football, field hockey, and baseball, as well as do some speed and agility drills. It was amazing to see how God works through sport and the connections that a simple ball can bring to people that have nothing else in common. The kids ranged anywhere from 8 or nine years old up to 19 or 20. Throughout the day, countless numbers of kids gave their lives to Christ after hearing numerous testimonies from every one of us.
In partnering with the Divine Stars, we were able to speak with the local children, many of which spoke little to no English. Another huge blessing has been the ability to fellowship with the Divine Stars and be able to be encouraged and encourage them. Their faith and dedication to athletic excellence is admirable and all of us have learned from them how to better represent Christ in the realm of athletics and their friendship is something that will be with us the rest of our lives.
On top of all of this exciting news, the girls had the unique opportunity to play alongside the Divine Stars and helped them pull off a comfortable 3-0 victory against one of the local high schools.
May God receive all of the glory for the great things that are occurring in this beautiful country and we pray that our ministry here is touching the hearts and lives of all the ones who are supporting and following us as we pursue the advancement of God's kingdom here in Uganda.
