FEBRUARY 2009 NEWSLETTER

.


Friends, I greet you once again in Christ Jesus. And if you are receiving our newsletter for the first time, my name is Jim Kirungi; a native missionary to Western Uganda called by our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Today the ministry is growing steadfast as we continue to link and network with more ministries, individuals and institutions from all walks of life for the sole purpose of evangelism in this part of the world. Please see About us.

Lots of feed back
Folks, am thrilled by the overwhelming feedback we have been receiving through your emails, phone calls and the record breaking visits to our website this February. Your enthusiasm and support has been such an awesome source of encouragement to us especially in this season seeing more of you coming on board to support this project, and to partake of what God is doing in this end time. I have never received so many phone calls from people many of whom I haven’t met personally, appreciating and stamping their support for the work of God in western Uganda. This thing is at loose folks; there is no stopping to what is about to happen in this part of the world! Some people have specifically requested to be notified of whatever need there is in the house. To be honest, there is always plenty of need and so shall it continue to be at least for some time! And as such, I humbly implore all of us to stamp our stake and practically come aboard this Kingdom Project so that millions of souls will be reached for Christ. And hey, remember we set apart one-day (Tuesday) every week to pray and stand in faith with our friends and partners concerning that which you are personally believing God for in 2009. And so it shall come to pass that when two people are in agrement concerning anything here on earth, it shall be done by the Father in Heaven!

Mobile School of Ministry
The first two months of the year have been a time of breathtaking hard work; thank God for Grace. It hasn’t been easy, but we have managed to lay plenty of ground for most of what we are going to be doing in the course of the year. I have had to do a spirited run of trips to about eight districts right from three days into the new year, linking and networking with pastors and local leaders for our upcoming events in those areas. Actual events begin in March with our first conference of the year due next week. This 5-day event to be held in a place called Kyanakaramata, about 20kms from
Kyenjojo town on the 2nd to the 7th of March will be a litmus taste of what we have in mind for the Mobile School of Ministry in order to come up with an appropriate and realistic design for the project. The tutor team is taking care of its transport budgets, while the host church will ensure their welfare which includes feeding and accommodation. Three to five area-churches are collectively taking part, and I must say they are very upbeat.

Kibale Crusade (10th – 15th March) Shortly after conference we will be heading to Kakumiro in Kibale district for our first crusade event, in which we are partnering with Kbarole Christian Felloship and the local area churches and the district council of Born Again churches we expect over 5000 people to be reached in that event.


God's Restoration plan for Kanungu

Remember the Kibwetere inferno of 2002 in which several hundred followers were torched alive in Kanungu and other parts of Uganda? Well, we see God revisiting his people in this newly created district, and this time round in an unprecedented fashion.....Read on

Inside news (about Team members)
Sister Monica Kajoina as we all know her had everything going her way two weeks ago, apparently earning another name to herself. There is no doubt her wedding to long time Irish journalist boyfriend Mark was nothing less than glorious! Frankly speaking however, things are not the same here with people like Monica absent on the team for a couple of weeks while she is away on her honey moon. We all can’t wait for her to return, except that mid March is literally forever!

Meanwhile passionate Humphrey Mujizi & Kenneth Byarunhanga on the other hand continue to be generous with their time and resourcefulness to The Project as they unsuspectingly plunge further into the system on a more like fulltime arrangement! Kenneth and I have a history stretching
back to those Campus days in 2006 when we first worked together in the Faculty of Arts students Fellowship. It was then that I first shared this vision with him. He recently came onboard fulltime with us until hopefully he lands a carrier job. So I think it would be good a thing that we all join our faith to believe with him in that regard. AMEN? I have travelled with him on most of the trips this year, and hey this guy is enjoying every bit of it. He raises his own funds for the trips and honestly, he is such a plus to the team. He also knows a friend who has a projector that we can hire much more cheaply. It also turns out that Humphrey has a broader shoulder for field coordination than the rest of us on the team, and apparently more and more responsibility is flowing his way in that regard. PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR TEAM. These guys are amazingly sold out!

Family news
Violet is letting up more and more active duty on The Project with the boys getting bigger at home. Talk about parrenting being forever key for us. Giggi (Christian )has become more proficient in his sworn trade of getting to the core of every functioning toy just to come face to face with the technology behind the animations of these gadgets. He also can’t wait to get to his 3rd Birth day where apparently his first bike officially awaits him on 22nd May. Zion on the other hand is not a guy for gadgets. Except; I don’t know a human being as animated as this young man! He made one year just last week, and Zizu as we all call him at home covers close to 10km on foot a day, and that’s just within the house! He has got an established personality too, as well as a great sense of focus! If you are planning to distract his attention from what he is headed for, chances are you won’t succeed. He also has such an anchored appetite that he will crush two sausages in your face and still grab his much slower elder brother’s stuff. By the end of day he has eaten twice as much as Giggi’s!
