Sunday Nov 8th

The 2 hour long worship (singing) time is sometimes a challenge for us to stay focused. It's helped by the fact that we come an hour late. At least half of the people today were about 2 hours late in coming!
This is Kibuli...I've been here when the room was packed full of probably 200 people. A lot of factors has made it dwindle to what you see here: only a handful. Kibuli is what is known as the 'mother church' among the newer church plants in Kampala, and many groups have left this location to start their own Sunday Celebration services, several young leaders were trained here and have gone to be leaders and pastors in other places.
At the end of his sermon about the faithfulness of Abraham and Sarah and Isaac, and the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, Anthony challenged these few people to remain faithful. Their new plot of land is waiting for them to occupy. And as the Israelites faced a daunting task of entering a land God blessed them with, and faced many who thought they couldn't do it, these believers at Kibuli need encouragement and prayers to hold fast--to be willing to sacrifice their time and the work of their hands and their tithe. The land waits empty because the pit latrines are not finished. It is important for this group to share in sacrificing of themselves to occupy the land given to them. Pray for them to remain steadfast, to not be discouraged by few numbers, and to be willing to work hard to make their new plot of land ready to meet on. Their rent for this room is paid through December, and that is the last month's rent they should make!
