This Sunday, October 11, 2009 we commenced our inaugural church service in our new village of Kubamitwe. Excitement filled the air as the SOS team realized the significance of this historic day! We have started a local church for the village people with a Ugandan pastor. The Luganda service was complete with Luganda hymns and worship songs accompanied with African drums. We are now meeting in the Hurley home, but someday, Lord-willing, will have a church building. Unbelievers (including Muslims!) attended to hear the Truth of God’s Word! We were taught expositionally by Christopher Kezaala from John 1:29-36, reveling in the truth that Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world! It is wonderful to have a local church planted where we can invite those to whom we are evangelizing!
In late August of this year, 6 members of Lakeside Bible Church joined us in Uganda to host a Youth Bible Conference. It was an adventurous time that reminded the team how sufficient Scripture is for everything in life and for everyone in the world.
Thanks for coming! We loved having you!
As we have only resided in this new village of Kubamitwe for 7 months, we want our new neighbors to feel welcomed and loved by SOS. We thought that hosting a movie for the community would be a great way to accomplish this goal. Last Friday night, SOS Ministries hosted a dinner and movie for our community. 
Over 450 villagers came to our home and enjoyed a traditional meal, complete with a soda. After the sun set, we projected Fireproof onto the big screen on our lawn. In light of the marriage problems that we have discovered within the community, we thought that a Christian movie dealing with marriage would be appropriate. Fireproof depicted the transforming power of God’s grace. Only God’s grace can transform a desperately sinful heart into a heart that can love. A translator used a microphone and translated over the dialogue. The audience grew deeply involved in the action as well as the storyline. They cheered and clapped at the victorious moments, especially when the couple reunited at the end. The generator didn’t work as a source of electricity for the sound system, so we relied on the limited solar energy from our home. We knew that the solar battery was running low and were concerned that the electricity would automatically turn off before the end of the movie. The SOS team fervently prayed throughout the movie, and God provided! At the moment the words “The End” appeared on the screen, the electricity went off and the screen turned black. But we made it to the end! God provides always just enough! God also provided a beautiful full moon to light the path as the villagers made their way back to their homes. We heard their whoops and hollers for ten minutes as they excitedly left our home. For many of them, this was the first time they had ever seen a movie. It was a night they will probably never forget.
When we look at the early New Testament Church, we see the hand of God at work among His people. This is clear by the fact that lives were being changed (“Those who received his word were being baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls” ~ Acts 2:41), God’s Word was being sought after (“They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles teaching” ~ Acts 2:42), God’s people were unified, sacrificial, and marked by love (“All those were believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need” ~ Acts 2:44-45), God was being praised (“everyone kept feeling a sense of awe…praising God” ~ Acts 2:43,47), and they were finding favor with all the people (~ Acts 2:47). Although we have a long way to go, I have seen (by God’s grace) these same characteristics describing our ministry throughout these past several months of conferences. God has so far through the conferences this year brought impact, unity, and a renewed passion for the exaltation of God and His Word.
These last three weeks God has been answering our prayers and doing the impossible — impacting lives! Continue reading
This new video is about 15 minutes long and will give you a clear vision for what we believe that God is calling us to accomplish here in Uganda.
