That’s right, Friends, answered prayers…because that is
the only way to explain the many blessings and help received from God, as we
ventured out again, into the hot and dusty streets of Kajjansi. A conversation with ‘that Muslim lady’;
Geoffrey asking if he could come with us, whenever we preach; Bonny and
Geoffrey asking for my phone number to link up on Sunday; five New Testaments
requested, distributed and read; and tracts, too, given out and gladly received!
And it all began, as normal, with singing and a
testimony interview, but this time, the African interviewed the Muzungu (I’m
hoping to put an excerpt on my blog, so look out for that)! Solomon put the questions to new-girl Maggie,
who certainly made the most of the opportunity – praise God. She definitely caught the interest of a lot
of the local ladies, as can be seen in the photograph below.
Afterward, new-man, Bob Penny preached the word, at the
top, as we ‘descended’ into the High Street, to our regular spot, opposite the
clinic. I don’t know if you are familiar
with the 70’s TV series, Fantasy Island (you
don’t need to be ashamed, as 70s TV goes, it was quite harmless, anyway), if
you are, you might remember Tattoo, the little guy who was known for shouting, “The
plane! It’s the plane, boss!” Well, I had a funny sense of deja vu, as we
passed beneath a balcony, where a young girl was shouting (in Luganda), “The
preachers! It’s the preachers, mum!” Uncanny, eh!

I revamped Andy Little’s ‘Good enough for Heaven?’
talk, and although I’d only used it two weeks before, it draw a few listeners,
and stopped a few passers-by in their tracks!
Attracting
plenty of attention. Maybe God will
remove the scales from this man’s eyes?!

Opio Godwill (translating) draws this
family's attention to the board

Opio and Maggie spend time chatting with Bobert and Helen. Robert asked many challenging questions, about Heaven, and how he can know he can go there. Both were happy to receive literature, and New Testaments.
Geoffrey translates for me, as I talk to Aisha, who says she is getting to know Jesus more and more through my preaching! Geoffrey received his New Testament, requested to ‘follow us’, then sits contemplating what he has read!

Promise labours in the field, persuading these two
market stall holders. Whereas young martin, is
happy to take a tract (for mum to read to him),
and wear the hat! |
Godfrey gladly accepts his New Testament;
Bonny (with a ‘y’) arranges a rendezvous; and ‘that Muslim lady’ is called S. S. (whose husband kindly went for a walk)
recognised she was a sinner, but thought praying five times a day would help
deal with it. She said if she missed a prayer
time she would catch up the next day…but didn’t seem too confident. She asked Maggie if they could talk again,
and requested her phone number…which Maggie gladly shared.
So, as you can see, those of you who have been praying
for Bonny, Geoffrey and S., et
al, have seen your prayer partially answered.
I say partially, because they still need to know Jesus as their real and
personal Saviour. So please, pray
on. And add Aisha to your list, and Robert,
Helen, young Martin; and not forgetting Marselles,
Pereth, Irene, Andrew, Agnes and Patrick!
Many thanks to God, and to you too,
Sean
